Checking config and all is OK. Problem is only the first device shows up. So either she has left me and I have been to busy playing with Home Assistant to notice or I have written something wrong, can someone help?
I never actually knew you could do a device tracker by the IP address, good to know.
Iām guessing you need to separate them Into their own - platform: ping
Is Karenās device responding to ping outside of Home Assistantās context? Depending on the device / operating system, ICMP Ping packages may be blocked.
Its not that it is not responding to the ping, it does that fine outside of home assistant its that ākaren_pingā is not showing as an entity. in the entity list, or anywhere for that matter.
just tried it and entries pointing to a non-assigned IP result in missing device_tracker entities. Can you use the same IP for adrian and karen and check if device_tracker.karen_ping is available after restart?
Makes no sense, however - those devices should produce entities (that are āunavailableā or āawayā).
That looks like it, she is not here right now so her phone canāt be pinged. That stopped it showing as an entity. I tried it with the ip of my tablet and it worked, it didnāt work using the ip of my phone. Thanks problem solved wait till she comes home and see it it works then. Seems a bit daft for a home and away sensor to not set up if it canāt ping it when setting up.
