Hi all,
this weekend I have been chased by some unusual effects related to presence detection, hence I started to troubleshoot my config.
the main issue: device trackers for phones in my network are suddenly stuck in “away” state. I’ve been on this config for years and it never let me down:
# device_tracker:
#- platform: netgear
# host: 192.168.1.1
# port: 80
# password: !secret orbi_password
# devices:
# - 'XXX'
# - 'XXX'
# - 'XXX'
# accesspoints:
# - 'XXX'
# - 'XXX'
# interval_seconds: 30
# consider_home: 360
# new_device_defaults:
# track_new_devices: False
Extract from known_devices:
markusgalaxys20:
hide_if_away: false
icon:
mac: XXX
name: Markus
picture: /local/custom_ui/markus_hass_user.png
track: true
My guess would be that the Netgear Config has been depricated for the config file and is now setup via Integrations. However, there is no relatable issues in the Logs - the state of the devices just never gets out of “away” anymore.
Any hints are appreciated!
Cheers.
Markus
