I wanted to extend the functionality of the pynetgear lib due to additional SOAP endpoints being available. I have been working on a rewrite of the lib, and have renamed it to pynetgear_enhanced. I then created a sensor and switch component to work with it. There are no conflicts with pynetgear or the device tracker, so those can stay for now.
If you want to update it to only use this lib, you can use the included device_tracker.py file.
Disclaimer: I am not the original author of the pynetgear lib.
A link to the custom components can be found here:
An updated link to github due to server issues can be found here:
I have had it running for a few days and it appears to be working well.
You can read about the supported sensors/switches in the readme.
It polls every 5 minutes to minimize strain on the router. I personally tested on the RAX80.
There are command line options in the python lib that allow other things that i am trying to figure how to integrate. for instance: performing a speed test.
The sensors and switches are prefixed with ng_enhanced_
Ok, i have updated my github repo, sorry for the delay. One thing to note… occasionally i have discovered my router does not like all of the incomming SOAP requests, and will start to block all SOAP requests (the webpage is still accessible). A simple reboot of the router solves the issue.
Hey,
this looks awesome, will test out shortly.
a quick question - does it allow you to enable the guest wifi for “x” hours only and then turn off again?
Connection error: HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘192.168.0.1’, port=5000): Max retries exceeded with url: /soap/server_sa/ (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0xb1357ff0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused’))
You need to reboot the router. With all the pinging of the router it occasionally crashes the soap server. I havent figured out why yet, which is why I havent created a pr. As soon as this is resolved, I intend to make it a permanent addition to hass.
A very nice component for controlling the guest WIFI with google calendar.
I get some errors but it seems to be working fine (I have an Orbi RBR50).

The Invalid response is always next to Netgear Switch Parental Control: : False and Netgear Switch QOS: : False in the log.
Would it be possible to only have certain switches available (as for the sensors)?
