I updated my Orbi’s from the RBK40 to RBK50 and before I did the netgear tracking worked perfectly. It now never switches from home to not_home unless I reboot HA, which defeats the point.
If I look at the admin interface of the orbi is shows the phones as not connected and they have static ip’s.
any idea on this please? It take over an hour for HA to detect we aren’t here and make the wifi as away/not_home. Even when I put consider home to 10 seconds etc
I’m seeing the same issue. I also noticed it shortly after I upgraded the firmware on my Orbi router. I don’t have specific logs, but it seems to take ~1 hour before it shows either my wife’s or my cell phone as away. It does eventually work, but it is delayed long enough that I noticed several of my automations are not working as expected.
did you get anywhere with this? Mine is now taking over an hour to report my as not_home. Have the newest firmware and tempted to move away from the netgear component
A recent updates of Orbi APs introduced a bug which takes several hours to detects presence on your local network. The current workaround is to force this integration to use the Orbi’s API v2 by adding the accesspoints: node to your configuration.
