Fing Setup

Configuration
1

Hi , could anyone tell me how to setup Fing Intergration in HAOS please.

When I try it asks for an IP address ( is the my HAOS box, the router or other) then it asks for an API .. where do I get the API from. I have read the documentation which is pretty basic and not useful and I read a post from Feb 25 that was a little more helpful but stil didnt explain fully.

Could somebody help please? I am trying to create a dashboard tyhat wil list teh devices connected to my Linksys Velop Access points as the Linkssys intergration is great but only tells you the number of connections not what they are.

Thank you for any help

Regards Andy

The Fing integration requires that (Fing Agent) software to be installed somewhere else on your network, on some other physical device.

Do you have Fing Agent set up on some other device that's connected to your network?

Hi Petro , thanks for comign back to me. I have a Raspberry PI that runs my NUTS server for the UPS so I could use that , would that work ?

I have no idea, you should check with the Fing project to see if it's compatible with that hardware. They are a separate software from HA, the HA Fing integration just has the ability to connect to that software.

I highly suggest you use the documentation. I've never seen this software until your question and found your answer by just following links:

So worked it out that install of fing agent on Raspberry was easy it was finding the api that took soem doing. And that was a case of using the desktop windows app and the cloud app to find. Once I had those HAOS worked fine.

HI,

I came across this discussion trying to use their new HA integration.

I’ve been using FING for a very long time : first on their FINGbox (still running), then on a win11 desktop and now on my synology NAs inside a container.

The 3 mentioned above are all up and running but the primary one is the container.

i’ve installed the fing integration on my HA instance but not sure how to use it to id which mac is up or down!??

who could shed some

I’m very interested to install the Fing Agent as HAOS addon.
The operation maybe possible using the docker version of Fing Agent, but it require some work to prepare an addon that use the Fing Agent docker image.
