I have added the following configuration (in a package, but also tried the main configuration.yaml) to track a device with ping, but nothing happens. There’s no debug generated either.
Yes I’ve restarted several times, nothing in the log. I will try the binary sensor. Do I need to have the binary sensor enabled as well for the device tracker to work?
The UniFi integration is only seeing WiFi devices and I want to track some wired ones. I guess this is because I only have access points and not the USG. I could also try the OpenWRT device tracker potentially but I think ping would detect the device quicker.
The binary sensor is working, it just took quite a while to become available after I added it. The device tracker was added hours ago and has never appeared.
Fair comment. Weird that nothing showed in the log though, and the sensor never showed up. I expected it would be present but unavailable in that case.
Actually I think it may have even been preventing other things starting properly, as when I installed the Alpine iputils package on the running system I suddenly got a ton of other HA startup logs about unrelated integrations.
