Dear forum, newbie here.
I have set up my first automations based on device tracking for phones. It works well. Now, I am trying to do the same with laptops. Out of three laptops, only one changes between “home” and “away” states.
The information comes from an integration with the router.
This is an entry from the known_devices.yaml:
That looks like entries from the old nmap device tracker, that was replaced by the new nmap tracker a few versions ago. The new one does not write in known_devices.yaml any more.
Thanks for reaching out, but I don’t quite understand this. On the “Nmap Tracker” page, it says: “As an alternative to the router-based device tracking, it is possible to directly scan the network for devices by using Nmap.” Well, I am using router based device tracking as described here.
The announcements link to 2021.9.0 include a reference to the Nmap tracker page above. I am going in circles…
Is router based device tracking deprecated? Replaced by what - Nmap?
The history tab is not updated correctly. What populates it - apparently not known_devices.yaml?
