Can I disable netgear auto discovery?

Installation Home Assistant OS

So apparently, I’m not the only one experiencing problems with my R7000
https://community.home-assistant.io/search?q=netgear%20r7000

If it’s destined to fail, can I stop it from trying? Then I can switch to nmap or ping for presence detection.

If it makes a difference, I’m using hass.io.

You can comment out discovery: from you confirguration,.yaml. Since you’re using Hassio, make sure you put hassio: in it’s place.

I was able to get my R7800 working with the below configuration. I still had to disable to auto discovery to keep the errors out of my logs.

  - platform: netgear
    host: !secret router_ip
    username: !secret netgear_user
    password: !secret netgear_password
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    track_new_devices: yes
    port: 80 # Default port is 5000

You can have discovery ignore specific components.

discovery:
  ignore: 
    - harmony
    - directv

Hello, did work for you?
I’m not able to “ignore” netgear or firetv

Thanks

I know this is a bit late but to ignore Netgear you need the following code

netgear_router

List of device names is located here https://www.home-assistant.io/components/discovery/
