Home Assistant device tracker integration for Movistar's Askey RFT8115VW router.

Open HACS repository

Details

This integration tracks devices connected to a Movistar's Askey RFT8115VW router.

Any device connected is recorded in known_devices.yaml file and tracked properly. Once a device is tracked, it can be assigned to a person to enable its presence state.

In order to correctly identify the devices, the host name is used as device name if it's available, if it isn't then the MAC address is used instead.

Installation

The integration can be deployed using HACS or manually. It's highly recommended to use HACS for managing custom integrations, so please consider using it.

HACS

Open HACS in Home Assistant and search for Movistar device tracker integration, or just click next button:
