Does anyone know if this component would work with their standard routers? I have an Edge Route Lite -3, and I’m looking for a component still to use for reliable presence detection.
It’s for the units from the unifi line that use the unifi controller. So no unfortunately
Ok shame 
Don’t suppose you know of a component that would work with my router? I have netgear switches and different make APs but all address designation is done at the router
No sorry. If edgeos has a reliable api it wouldn’t be hard to write a new component for that.
Andrew had a good post on the same issue Smart Things as Device Tracker
His post says about MQTT, and that he struggled with it. I’ve got it working since i made this thread so look like i’ll be going down that route.
Some issues with TLS atm though, so maybe thats where he got stuck

Have you gotten anywhere with this? I am in the same boat with the Unify router.
SNMP component
What are you using for access points? I’m using an EdgeRouter Lite-3 with an AC-AP-LR and it works for presence detection. Just need to install the Unifi Controller software on a computer.
How accurate is your presence detection? When leaving the wifi mine don’t update for roughly 15-20 minutes after I already left.
Mine’s about the same. I’ve actually switched over to using Owntracks for presence detection and it updates a lot quicker.
