One way to answer this is to use a Stats Graph Card and plot the average, min and max values. Max and min values in long-term statistics data can provide information about the range in which a specific sensor is moving (while the average cannot).

Unfortunately, most routers do not provide this information.

It means HA doesnt install Python module. The reason why it doesnt install not in the integration

Hi all,

this integration looks just like what i am searching for :slight_smile:

I want to detect when various (known) mobile phones connect and disconnect from my wifi network so i can use it for presence detection - can it do that?

Iā€™ll need to be able to check devices based on device name not IP - can it do that?

I have an Archer AX1500 router.

Thanks in advance

If the phones have a device name yes. Do note that most modern phones are setup by default to supply a random MAC address each time they connect, specifically to prevent you from doing this type of tracking.
It is also called ā€˜stalking preventionā€™. I donā€™t know your motives, but it is to prevent nefarious activity.

Interesting, thanks.

My intention is purely for presence detection, iā€™m hoping that along with motion etc it can reliably be used to set my home automations from occupied to unoccupied and so on.

I think the phones in question have device names.

Hi all,

using this integration, can I access the IP address of a phone via Node Red??

I canā€™t see an entity that would do this but maybe iā€™m just not looking in the right place?

Iā€™m trying to use it for tracking presence but iPhones all log on with the same name and the owners donā€™t want to mess with that. I was hoping if i assign a static IP in my router and by checking the phone for being logged on and itā€™s IP address it would give me a usable ID output for that person???

I just installed the integration and noticed that it created a bunch of device entries for some, but not all of my connected end devices. Is this the expected behavior? I did not see it mentioned in any of the docs or comments here. Other than that, it seems to work fine with my AX21:

Yes. This list shows devices that already added to your HA and have connection with your router
