This platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a [BT Home Hub 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Home_Hub) based router.

To use a BT Home Hub 5 router in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  platform: bt_home_hub_5
  host: 192.168.1.254
  interval_seconds: 10
  consider_home: 180
  track_new_devices: yes
```

Configuration variables:

- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.1.254.

See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
