The tplink_c2300 platform for device_tracker integration allows you to detect presence by looking at devices connected (via 2.4G / 5G / LAN) to a TP-Link Archer C2300 wireless router.
This project is based on the official TP-Link integration removed from Home Assistant, somewhat active fork for other TP-Link devices, and the C2300 API client.
Copy tplink_c2300 folder into your custom_components
TP-Link devices typically only allow one login at a time to the admin console. This integration will count towards your one allowed login. Depending on how aggressively you configure device_tracker you may not be able to access the admin console of your TP-Link device without first stopping Home Assistant, or the integration will stop working temporarily. This can be controlled using the logout_others parameter.
Home Assistant takes a few seconds to login, collect data, and log out. If you log into the admin console manually, remember to log out so that Home Assistant can log in again.
I recommend setting the time interval to 60s.
To enable this device tracker, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: tplink_c2300
host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP
password: !secret tplink_c2300_password
interval_seconds: 60
consider_home: 120
logout_others: falseConfiguration variables:
- host (Required): The IP address of your router, e.g., 192.168.1.1.
- password (Required): The plain-text password for your given local admin account.
- interval_seconds (Optional): Seconds between each scan for new devices. (aka. how often should HASS connect to the router) (Default: 12)
- consider_home (Optional): Seconds to wait till marking someone as not home after not being seen.
- logout_others (Optional): Set to true if you want to log out any other logged in user on the router.
You don't need to fill in any username field, as the username is hardcoded to admin on the latest C2300 firmware.
See the device tracker integration page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.

Other devices/firmwares may or may not work, depending on how the authentication is handled in the router firmware. If your device is not on the list, you can still give it a try and let me know if it works or not, I'll update the documentation.
I will not be adding support to any other (not working) device, but you may open up a request here.
