Home Assistant integration for monitoring cable modem signal quality
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) |
What people report
Cable modems are polled locally by scraping their web UI; new models are added from user captures. Newer firmwares sometimes need new auth handling.

Username: admin Password: motorola Current firmware version: 8600-19.3.15 Spectrum has upgraded the firmware on my 8600 a couple times this summer. I don't have the old firmware version handy, but I am certain they started mandating non-default creds and dramatically overhauled the UI.

| Technicolor CGA4236 | Requested Local | Support PR closed unmergedSaved copyHi! I opened this PR to add support for the Technicolor CGA4236 (including CGA4236TCH1 variants), and I wanted to say thanks for the project and your “AI with limited resources” approach. That mindset is exactly why I decided to use Codex to help me with this: I wouldn’t have had the time or deep protocol/auth expertise to implement and debug it alone. We iterated against real modem behavior and logs, and got it working end-to-end (auth + DOCSIS channel parsing + entities in HA). I tried to keep the changes as aligned with your current architecture as possible: new modem definition/parser + … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #114 · 2026-02 |
