DD-WRT

This platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a DD-WRT based router.

To use a DD-WRT router in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: ddwrt
    host: ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS
    username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?
host string Required

The IP address of your router, e.g., 192.168.1.1.

username string Required

The username of a user with administrative privileges, usually admin.

password string Required

The password for your given admin account.

ssl boolean (Optional, default: false)

Whether to connect via HTTPS.

verify_ssl boolean (Optional, default: true)

If SSL/TLS verification for HTTPS resources needs to be turned off (for self-signed certs, etc.)

wireless_only boolean (Optional, default: true)

Whether to only list devices that are connected directly to the router via Wi-Fi or include those connected via Ethernet or other networked access points as well.

By default Home Assistant pulls information about connected devices from DD-WRT every 5 seconds. See the device tracker integration page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
