NETGEAR
netgear
This integration allows you to detect presence by looking at connected devices to a NETGEAR device and control the NETGEAR device. Both routers and access points can be used with this integration. Some access points will not be automatically discovered and need to be set up manually. Attached devices are only tracked on NETGEAR devices set to the router mode, otherwise, duplicate entities will occur from access points that also report the same devices.
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 |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
What people report
NETGEAR routers are polled locally, but firmware updates often break login or device lists; access points like the WAX series are not supported.
