Tomato


The tomato platform requires an extra config variable called http_id. The value can be obtained by logging in to the Tomato admin interface and search for http_id in the page source code.

Because of a limitation in Tomato’s API, this platform will only track wireless devices. If tracking wired devices like a Philips Hue Hub is necessary, it is possible to use another platform like NMAP.

To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: tomato
    host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS
    username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME
    password:  YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
    http_id: YOUR_HTTP_ID

Configuration variables:

  • host (Required): The IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.1.1.
  • username (Required: The username of an user with administrative privileges, usually admin.
  • password (Required): The password for your given admin account.
  • http_id (Required): The value can be obtained by logging in to the Tomato admin interface and search for http_id in the page source code.

See the device tracker component page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
