You need to give the device a static IP address and fill a new in for that device (all in the router). Then you add that name in the monitored_devices and also the device_tracker.
It’s not manadtory to have the device in monitored devices in order to have it as device tracker,
Monitores devices is to get analytics on the device while tracker is to use it as tracker…
Hi,
I have the same problem with disconnecting devices. Connecting a device almost instantly changes the state to ‘home’ but when disconnecting it takes about an hour to get ‘not home’. Wouldn’t it make more sense to get the status from ARP?
When I try “show arp | grep [IP address]” it seems to give a pretty good representation if the device is connected or not.
I set ssl: false however I’m getting an error as the component is trying to access the router on port 443 … I don’t need to use ssl since access is local only … is ssl: false working ?
and my tracker.yaml looks like this
- platform: edgeos #List of network devices to treat as device tracker
hosts:
- 192.168.2.79
I have the noted IP set as static on my edgeRouter X SFP but i am not seeing the tracker in HA. The only item i can see is:
sensor.edgeos_unknown_devices
sensor.edgeos_system_uptime
Would someone be able to help point me in the right direction on how i can get the tracker working?
