Home Assistant can get information from your wireless router to track which devices are connected. There are three different types of supported wireless routers: [tomato](/components/device_tracker.tomato.html), [netgear](/components/device_tracker.netgear.html) and [luci (OpenWRT)](/components/device_tracker.luci.html). You can also decide to directly scan the network for devices by using the [nmap scanner](/components/device_tracker.nmap_scanner.html).
|
|
|
|
To get started add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` (example for Netgear):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
platform: netgear
|
|
host: 192.168.1.1
|
|
username: admin
|
|
password: MY_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once tracking, the `device_tracker` component will maintain a file in your config dir called `known_devices.csv`. Edit this file to adjust which devices have to be tracked. Here you can also setup a url for each device to be used as the entity picture.
