Mikrotik HA

Configuration

Hi:

I have a mikrotik router. I configure it at configuration.yaml but after reboot log show this:

Error setting up platform mikrotik

I can see how user “homeassistant” connect with my mikrotik but after 3 seconds ha is disconnected.

I’m not sure if you ever got this working, but I had a similar problem and I ended up using the snmp tracker instead. It works very well, very responsive.

    - platform: snmp
      host: 192.168.1.1
      community: public
      baseoid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1
      new_device_defaults:
              track_new_devices: False
              hide_if_away: False

Thank you for your help. I solved problem with telegraf and inputs_snmp. Works fine… also i can send all datas to grafana. If you need some information about it, do not hesitate to conntact me.

I moved from openHAB to Home Assistant.
To track data from a remote Mikrotik, I used a script on Mikrotik:

:global Mac2 "C0:XX:00:EA:XX:DA"
:global OldChek2
:global chek2
if ([/interface wireless registration-table find mac-address=$Mac2] != "") do={set chek2 true} else={set chek2 false}

if (($chek2 != $OldChek2) and ($chek2 = true)) do={
/log warning  ($Mac2 . " -ON Name openhab")
/tool fetch mode=http url="http://192.168.15.15:8080/rest/items/Name/state" http-method=put http-content-type="text/plain" http-data="ON"
} 

if (($chek2 != $OldChek2) and ($chek2 = false)) do={
/log warning  ($Mac2 . " -OFF Name openhab")
/tool fetch mode=http url="http://192.168.15.15:8080/rest/items/Name/state" http-method=put http-content-type="text/plain" http-data="OFF"
} 

set OldChek2 $chek2

But I don’t understand how to adapt this script for Home Assistant.
How to make a virtual switch for Home Assistant?
