I have a mesh network: do I add the Master in Home Assistant only, or the repeaters, too?

Hi, I have a Mesh Master and a couple of routers as repeaters. Everything shows up in HA as discovered. Do I have to add all of them in HA, or just the Master?

Bump. Anyone?

Hi @haa,
I’m not expert, but I have the same situation at myHome and I tried both verions :wink:

I would recommand to just add the “Master”. Then you have all entities available for example the “device_tracker”. I see no benefit to add accesspoints / repeater :wink:

I have a mesh system as well (Fritz) and wonder if there is really no benefit.
At the moment I have just added the Master (as recommended in this and other threads).
However, on the master I can initiate a reboot of the Master and I wonder if this would be possible on the slaves as well.

Because sometimes the slaves got disconnected (or better their clients) and I would like to restart the slaves then.

Any experience with this?
I just don’t want to mess up my wifi.

Furthermore, how to re-detect the slaves at a later stage?
