Netgear device tracker setup errors

Configuration
1

Hi guys, hope someone can help me. I ahve a Netgear D6400 router that isn’t automatically configured by HASS, but when I try to configure it manually using the following:

  - platform: owntracks

  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.0.1
    username: redacted
    password: red@cted
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 300
    track_new_devices: yes

it gives the following errors:

Any ideas on how to fix it would be appreciated

If you open a browser and go to 192.168.0.1 can you access your router. 192.168.1.1 is the other default for netgear routers.

Also be sure your username and password are correct. To check that they are entered correctly try copy and pasting from your config file into the login box. I can’t remember if netgears are case sensitive, but something to check.

I have the same problem too. It seems to work even though I get the errors. My password and username are correct…

I should have mentioned that too, I get errors from in the log mine even though its working perfectly.
