New error in the log now, ssl certificate? I’m not using any I believe. Can I sign them easily my self?

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘192.168.1.1’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /cgi-bin/luci/rpc/auth (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1125)’)))

I have a similar problem. How to deal with this certificate?

I stopped using openwrt device tracker. I’ve not replaced it with something new, just stopped using tracking. Sorry about that.

I can’t reproduce your error, but I noticed 3 things while enabling “device tracker” with home assistant and openwrt.

  • update or install luci-mod-rpc on the latest version - I had problems setting up my 5Ghz wifi with device tracking on the latest firmware (21.03) and switched back to 21.02.3

  • Follow this Guide from the openwrt doc - you should be able to create & install your ssl certificate (with luci-app-uhttpd) - maybe something with your old one changed or any software created one by itself. And don’t forget to make a backup before you change anything as openwrt can be a pita if you have to reflash a firmware.

  • Here is a copy of my configuration.yaml and known_devices.yaml if it helps:

Configuration.yaml: 

device_tracker:
  - platform: luci
    host: 192.168.1.1
    username: !secret wrtid
    password: !secret wrtpwd
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false

known_devices.yaml:

12_a3_b4_56_7c_d8:
  name: example: mobile phone 79
  mac: <insert mac adress of your device>
  icon: mdi:Cellphone

I was troubleshooting my device tracker and was lucky enough to find this thread. I guess it would have taken me a lot longer to find out that the tracker for my new Pixel phone does not work on 5 GHz only. When connected to 2,4 it works fine.

@se7entynine s post is 8 moth old now, my OpenWRT router is running a pretty recent FW, the luci-mod-rpc package is up to date and I also updated all other packages that had rpc in the name.
I really dont want to rollback the whole routers FW since I just finished setting up wireguard and I have no idea where to get an earlier version of the package.

Is there any known fix to this issue or do I need to stop using 5 GHz?

maybe someone can help me out here,
I’m trying the device tracker for months now, maybe a year, and already 5 devices have been added to known_devices.yaml
4 wired devices and since last week my iphone is added.
but no other devices, none on 2.4Ghz and none only 1 on 5Ghz.
Am I missing something?
My config is like this.

device_tracker:
  - platform: luci
    host: 192.168.2.4
    username: user
    password: !secret openWrt_password
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false
  - platform: user
    host: 192.168.2.5
    username: root
    password: !secret openWrt_password
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false
  - platform: luci
    host: 192.168.2.6
    username: user
    password: !secret openWrt_password
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false
