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.

To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

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

- **username** *Required*: The username of an user with administrative privileges, usually *admin*.
- **password** *Required*: The password for your given admin account.
