This platform allows you to detect presence by looking at connected devices to an [Aruba Instant](http://www.arubanetworks.com/products/networking/aruba-instant/) device.

Supported devices (tested):

- ARUBA AP-105

<p class='note warning'>
This device tracker needs telnet to be enabled on the router.
</p>

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  platform: aruba
  host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP
  username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME

```
