Netgear Device Tracker Ignore Devices

I’ve got my Netgear router added now so that it tracks all the devices connected to the WiFi. So in my config file I have:

device_tracker:

  • platform: netgear
    password: xxxxxx

So all the devices show up on my overview page. I’ve tried editing the know_devices file and setting one to:

track: false

But it still shows in the devices. Does anyone know how to turn them off so that they don’t show up? I’m only interested in 4 devices and there’s about 30 showing up.

Cheers

Delete all the ones you don’t want from known_devices.yaml then you need to change your config to the following:

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    password: xxxxxx
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false

After you restart Home Assistant, you’ll only have the 4 devices you want and no new ones will be added.

Thanks for that. It seems to have settled down. Setting all the devices I don’t want to track: false seems to have done the trick. When I did the first few as a test it took ages. Now it’s almost immediate if I disable one or change the name. I need it to keep detecting new devices at the moment as 2 of the phones are still out of the house.

Blooming brilliant so far though!
