Need help with missing field vendor in known_devices, see below.
78_8a_20_bc_b3_08:
hide_if_away: false
icon:
mac: 78:8A:20:BC:B3:08
name: 78 8a 20 bc b3 08
picture:
track: true
This is straight from a newly created file, no vendor field.
This is from configuration.yaml
device_tracker:
Please help, what am I missing
/g
The vendor field is taken from the first three hexadecimal numbers. There are lookup tables that should populate this field automatically and I’m not sure why HA did not pick up you are using Ubiquiti devices.
This is how I know:
PS: it’s not great security to post mac addresses in public forums. Though if this is a device behind your router’s firewall you have little to worry about. If it’s your router on the other hand…
EDIT: Actually I see you mean there is no vendor: at all (even empty). Just checked my known devices and it is the same. It seems it may be a depreciated attribute. It’s no longer in the docs. In fact it seems it never was. Searching for “is:pr is:closed vendor” produced no results. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/commits/current/source/_components/device_tracker.markdown
Are we dreaming? Was it ever there?
EDIT 2: Found it. It was removed in April 2018., https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/13788
