MyAsusWRT

I kept having issues with the asuswrt device tracker, so I hacked away at the code until it worked. Sharing this here in case others want to try it too. The old asuswrt.py script used several different ways to check the devices, and I found that if I remove all but one of them (the "ip neigh" command) then it would continue to work perfectly.

Instructions

• Download the myasuswrt.py file into a directory called device_tracker in the custom_components directory in your config directory. You should have a path that looks like this: <your config directory>\custom_components\device_tracker\myasuswrt.py
• Follow the documentation below except where it says platform: asuswrt use platform: myasuswrt instead.

Routers known to work with this code:

• RT-AC86U
• RT-N65U
• (I assume that all others will work with this too, but have not yet definite confirmation yet - please let me know if you use this and it works for you.

Documentation for the old asuswrt device tracker:

The asuswrt platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a ASUSWRT based router.

This platform is NOT available for Microsoft Windows installations.

Configuration

To use an ASUSWRT router in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

You need to enable telnet on your router if you choose to use protocol: telnet.

See the device tracker component page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
