Ping (ICMP)
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">ping</code> platform offers presence detection by using <code class="highlighter-rouge">ping</code> to send ICMP echo requests. This can be useful when devices are running a firewall and are blocking UDP or TCP packets but responding to ICMP requests (like Android phones). This tracker doesnt need to know the MAC address since the host can be on a different subnet. This makes this an option to detect hosts on a different subnet when <code class="highlighter-rouge">nmap</code> or other solutions dont work since <code class="highlighter-rouge">arp</code> doesnt work.</p>
<p>To use this presence detection in your installation, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">device_tracker</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">ping</span>
<span class="s">hosts</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">hostone</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">192.168.2.10</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>hosts</strong> array (<em>Required</em>): List of device names and their corresponding IP address or hostname.</li>
<li><strong>count</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Number of packet used for each device (avoid false detection).</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <a href="/components/device_tracker/">device tracker component page</a> for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.</p>
