Setup

Note that you will need to restart Home Assistant after installion, whichever method is used.

Option 1 - HACS (recommended!):

1. In HACS, go to Integrations, and then click the orange '+' button in the lower right corner to add an integration.
2. Search for "Hubitat" and install it.

Option 2 - Manual:

1. Create a directory named netgear_enhanced under custom_components.
2. Copy the files from to the netgear_enhanced folder in this repository.

Configurations:

• Use the following examples in your configuration file (typically configuration.yaml). Note that you may need to merge switch and sensor keys with existing ones.
• Make sure to modify the parameters to fit your needs. It's recommended to use secrets for all sensitive info.
• After making changes there may be some delay before entities are updated due to the router changing configuration.
• Different routers use different ports for authentication. If you know your router port is different from 5000, specify that, otherwise, ususally 5000 or 80 will work.
• Each configuration key is either required, or is not required because it uses a default value, which is mentioned below

Default values:

Config Value	Explanation	Required? (Default)
username	Router access username	Yes
password	Router access password	Yes
host	Router access URL/IP	No (Default: 192.168.1.1)
port	Router access port. This is typically 5000 or 80.	No (Default: 5000)
ssl	Should the integration access the router using SSL? (true/false)	No (Default: false)
prefix	Entities created by the integration will use this as a prefix for their id	No (Default: ng_enhanced)
scan_interval	Interval between updates polling from the router	No (Default: 5 minutes)
resources	List of resources to use in Home Assistant. See examples below for full lists of available resources	Yes

  - platform: netgear_enhanced
    host: !secret my_secret_ip
    username: !secret my_secret_netgear_user
