As suggested on the Netgear device_tracker
page, I am using the accesspoints
method to force V2 of the Netgear API. However, as also noted on that page, it creates multiple devices - 1 w/ the real MAC and 1 concatenating the device’s MAC and the MAC of each connected access point. I was trying to exclude the two access point-specific entities from ever being recognized (e.g. in known_devices.yml
). However, it doesn’t seem to work. I tried using the concatenated MAC, the device name (e.g. “Chris Phone on Router”), as well as the entry name (chris_phone_on_router
). No matter what, I still see the extra devices created. I guess the solution for now is to just to do track: false
for the extra devices so they won’t appear in the UI at all, but it still feels a bit messy having them around at all. Any advice on ways to keep the device list clean while using this workaround?
