_This is one of the two ways we support OpenWRT. If you encounter problems, try [ubus](/components/device_tracker.ubus/)._
|
|
|
|
This is a presence detection scanner for OpenWRT using [luci](http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/luci).
|
|
|
|
Before this scanner can be used you have to install the luci RPC package on OpenWRT:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opkg install luci-mod-rpc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
platform: luci
|
|
host: ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS
|
|
username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME
|
|
password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.1.1.
|
|
- **username** (*Required*): The username of an user with administrative privileges, usually *admin*.
|
|
- **password** (*Required*): The password for your given admin account.
|
|
|
|
See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
|

<p class='note warning'>
|
|
Some installations have [a small bug](https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/576). The timeout for luci RPC calls is not set and this makes the call fail.
