Troubleshooting Device Tracker Configuration

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to set up device tracking in Home Assistant using the nmap_tracker and linksys_smart platforms, but I’m running into some issues. Despite configuring the device_tracker section in my configuration.yaml file, the known_devices.yaml file isn’t being created, and my devices aren’t being tracked. I’ve rebooted multiple times, but the issue persists.

Here’s my current configuration:

device_tracker:

  • platform: nmap_tracker
    hosts: 192.168.0.128
    home_interval: 10
    exclude: 192.168.0.100

  • platform: linksys_smart
    host: 192.168.1.1
    username: XXX
    password: XXX
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 180
    track_new_devices: yes

I’ve noticed that when I manually create the known_devices.yaml file and add a device, it shows up in the UI but is always marked as ‘away’. This makes me think the issue lies with the automatic detection rather than the device itself.

I’m wondering if there’s something missing in my configuration or if there are additional steps I need to take to get this working properly. I’ve also tried using the device_tracker with my router (Linksys E2500), but the result is the same.

Has anyone encountered similar issues or have suggestions on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
