I recently came across a discussion about using the ASUSWRT integration in Home Assistant to track device status such as load and speed without enabling the device tracker features. This caught my attention because I’ve been looking for a way to monitor my network devices more effectively without the overhead of tracking every device on my network.
I tried disabling the “Enable newly added entities” option in the ASUSWRT integration settings and manually deleting devices from the core device registry. However, the devices kept re-appearing, which was quite frustrating. I wondered if there was a more permanent solution or if there were specific settings I might have missed.
This led me to explore the ASUSWRT integration documentation and community forums further. I discovered that while there isn’t a built-in option to disable device tracking entirely, there are workarounds such as using custom scripts to periodically clean up the device registry. This approach, though a bit technical, seems promising for maintaining a cleaner and more efficient setup.
I’m curious to hear if others have found effective solutions for this or if there are any best practices for managing device statistics without the need for full device tracking. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
