Device tracker with router and access point

Configuration
1

Hi folks

I have had device tracker working great for a long time. A while back, I added a second access point to cover a weak signal spot. But when I set up device tracking for this, all states seem to just freeze.
I looked at a lot of different threads, but everyone else seemed to be doing things much more complicated like combining other methods of presence detection. I’m just using two lede routers.

Can anyone comment how I can do this? I’ve tried various syntax for the definition of the 2nd device tracker. HA never seems to complain, so I guess my various iterations were all legal. But I’d appreciate a pointer on how to correctly do it.

thanks

Post the config.

What do you mean by freeze? (HA stop working?)

Looks like I removed all traces of those attempts, but the behaviour was that presence was “stuck” in the sense of, values reported in the UI did not change anymore.

Something like this:

device_tracker:

  • platform: luci
    host: xxx.xxx.xxx.1
    username: xxxx
    password: xxxxx
  • platform: luci
    host: xxx.xxx.xxx.2
    username: xxxxx
    password: xxxxxx

I also used similar, but device_tracker2: header

thanks for any advice.

Is your 2nd router in router mode (ie: DHCP running on it handing out IPs) or acting as a wireless repeater/AP?

It’s functioning properly and running in AP mode

I use SNMP on my router to track devices on my network.

device_tracker.yaml:

  - platform: snmp
    host: 192.168.1.1
    community: public
    baseoid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.2

Give that a shot should work decent.
