pfSense Integration

Hi, love this integration, was a game changer for me for system monitoring…! Thank you!

Since the past couple of weeks the only time interface RTT and loss, in and out bandwidth, and openvpn server connections update is when the integration is first loaded or restarted. Maybe other stuff too but thats what I monitor.

Host metrics like cpu%, load, and Temp are fine. Firewall hasn’t changed at all, and I rebooted it just in case. Do you have any thoughts on what I might change in HA to get it working again? I think it started after upgrade to 2023.2.1. pfsense 2.6 on metal.

Thanks

Hi,
I´m struggeling with the device_tracker option, and no matter what values I´m using, it´s always a “home-unavailabkle-not_home” thing the whole day (see picture).

What values are you guys using? Have you adjusted the “net.link.ether.inet.max_age” on the pfsense and got better results?

Thanks for help,
Philipp

Do you see any hass errors? Did you up the max processes?

Hi All / @travisghansen .

No doubt you’ve seen the latest security disclosure, …
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/disclosure-supervisor-security-vulnerability

Out of interest, how are credentials stored? plain text? some sort of encryption ? … this vulnerability allowed remote access/ owning the system. Any system using external access could have been compromised.

I’m going to change every password anyway, and consider not exposing HA at all anymore, but just curious how it works as this is the only integration I use that has an admin login.

Unfortunately, I found it in plain text in…

/config/.storage/core.config_entries

Everyone should change user credentials just to be on the safe side…(after the HA patch)

Just wanted to say THANKYOU for this integration. Amazing community here.
This enabled me to setup an automation to give control of internet time back to my child.
They can start and Pause here internet time via the UI.
My wife and I can also easily add and remove time via Home Assistant.

Looks awesome!

So, I have changed out my pfsense box and have the new one running. In the integration I now have 2 listed and for the life of me cannot figure out how to remove the old one… It automatically found the new one and added all of the sensors with a suffix of _2. I really do not like how these are added, but that is an HA thing.

So, how do I delete the original pfsense box?

tykeal · June 3, 2023, 1:32pm

Select the old one, that will allow you to “drill into” the settings for that particular integration. Then select the triple dot menu that should appear. From that, select delete.

mattlward · June 4, 2023, 5:14am

Thanks… yup found it.

khisanthax · September 2, 2023, 10:44am

I’ve had my pfsense integration working but then recently it stated it failed to setup, so I tried re-entering the username and pw and all I get is “unexpected error.” Nothing in pfsense changed afaik. Any ideas or ways to troubleshoot?

joncwhite22 · September 12, 2023, 11:00pm

I keep getting PHP errors. Can someone help. I have deleted the pfSense integration and I still get the error. I have also fresh installed the integration and still get the error repeatedly.

Can someone help me completely remove this integration from Home Assistant? I have deleted the integration but still get the above error every minute or so.

jca001 · September 19, 2023, 10:36pm

I am on HA 2023.9.2 and I have installed the HACS pfSense integration, but I cannot figure out where to configure the needed information, URL, User, Password, etc…When I click on it, it just show the ReadMe information.

Question, not related to the above:
I am accessing a Test Firewall from the WAN side and need to know what TCP/UDP ports HA will use to access pfSense so I can create Rule to allow access.

danbutter · September 20, 2023, 12:41am

You install it through HACS, but then go to Settings - Devices and Services hit the add integration button and search for pfsense.

jca001 · September 20, 2023, 12:32pm

@danbutter Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you have an answer to my second question about the TCP/UDP port HA will use to access pfSense?

firstof9 · September 20, 2023, 4:22pm

Port 80/443.

Just make sure not to open those on the WAN side of a live firewall.

jca001 · September 20, 2023, 9:04pm

Thanks for the information.
I got it configured and now I have another question.
This is a Test Firewall with the WAN Address on my internal network so HA and pfSense are on the same network. My plan is to implement the Firewall and connect the WAN side to my ISP Modem. Then I will have to change the IP Address in HA for pfSense and I have not been able to find a selection to do that like when setting it up originally.
So will I have to delete the current pfSense Integration and then add it again?

firstof9 · September 20, 2023, 9:21pm

That is correct.

danbutter · September 20, 2023, 9:22pm

Usually you can just hit the “Configure” button inside the integration page and change the info.
Can’t guarantee that this will work, but you can give it a try!
