Mikrotik in Device trackers can't setup

Configuration
1

Hello All,

i got mikrotik router and now running HASSbian on RPI3, If I want to enable miktorik component in HASS (like this: https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.mikrotik/) my RPI3 can’t start this service, because missing some libraries…!!!

anyone else got same problem? what is right setup to use mikrotik as device tracker? I’d like to achieve that I can use output from mikrotik about connected clients to my local wifi network to use presense detection. got different androis, ios and Windows Mobile devices…
thank you
grz

Hi grz007,
which firmware version are you using?

try the following commands, and see if you get an output: (these are the commands the ha mikrotik plugin is using)

/system routerboard print
/interface wireless print
/ip dhcp-server lease print

hope that helps…

by the way i have tested mine with firmware 3.33 (two mikrotik devices).

Hello,
my mikrotik gives me this:
model: RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2
factory-firmware: 3.31
current-firmware: 3.31
upgrade-firmware: 3.34

Hi grz,
did my commands give you an “normal” output…

“/system routerboard print
/interface wireless print
/ip dhcp-server lease print”

or do you have some special characters inside… (I had the Problem, that i was using “Umlaute: ÜÖÄ”) after getting rid of them… everything worked liked expected.

greetings
DD

Hi,

I’ve been running for Wi-Fi presence my Mikrotik RB715G-2HnD long time trough SNMP and it works so good that I don’t even want to try this component. See if this works for you:

device_tracker:
  platform: snmp
  host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_THE_MIKROTIK
  community: SNMP_COMMUNITY_STRING
  baseoid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.1
  track_new_devices: false
  interval_seconds: 30
  home_interval: 5
  consider_home: 180
