Netgear Presence Detection Errors

Configuration
1

I have tried Setting up Netgear presence detection, but I keep getting a whole bunch of errors when I try to launch HA. I am not sure how to fix these, but I’m sure someone way smarter than me here will know what I can do to get these errors resolved.

Config:

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.1.1:80
    username: MyUSERNAME
    password: MyPASSWORD
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: true

First Error:

Third Error, which baffles me because I am sure I typed in my correct login info in the config.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From your first error message

That’s two ports concatenated onto each other. Completely invalid.

Looks like it is expecting to use port 5000 but you specified 80 in the tracker host option instead of in it’s own option like this:

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.1.1
    port: 80
    username: MyUSERNAME
    password: MyPASSWORD
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: true

Give that a go.

Changed the port to 5000 on config file.B but I’m still getting the same error, but with port 5000 instead of 80. And ell other error code remain the same

Seems like when I left the port number as the default, it went through without issues!

Why?

If you are sure it is port 80, just specify it this way:

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.1.1
    port: 80       #### <-------- LIKE THIS
    username: MyUSERNAME
    password: MyPASSWORD
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: true

Not like you had it:

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.1.1:80   #####  <------ NOT LIKE THIS
    username: MyUSERNAME
    password: MyPASSWORD
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: true

Great but do you see where you went wrong in specifying the port?

You cant specify it as part of host: it has it’s own option port:

I see the port should be separate option as it states in the installation page. I just assumed the port would go with the IP address as is customary in networking.
