So coming late to the party, but there's no "known_devices" file being created. I am positive I followed all the instructions correctly, repeating the process many times. Is that file supposed to be created automatically?
hi thanks for the video :) im a bit confused as a new user. so once i copy this into my config file what then? sorry getting really lost in HA. i create a new dashboard then ... og one other thing, i have seent hings in HACS where it says to create a custom button card but i cannot find out how to do this :( many thanks from the UK
Hi im pretty new at this i got this error when i tried to put device_tracker: !include device_tracker.yaml at configuration 2020-08-25 17:27:22 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio] Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 15, column 17: Unable to read file /config/device_tracker.yaml. if i didnt put !include it didnt give me error, but it doesnt generate anything after restart
Invalid config for [device_tracker]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 14). this if i make device_tracker.yaml and copy paste the platform nmap_tracker and change host to my router ip
I've watched a million HA videos, but I really appreciate the views you give into your File Editor, not everybody does that. Plus, you have a shit ton of energy and I appreciate someone who is so invested in this. Following your guide though the known_devices.yaml file is made but it does not populate any devices on my network. Also, Home Assistant will not allow me to write the yaml code you have listed at 1:12 it gives the error : bad indentation of a mapping entry at line 2, column 7: hosts: 192.168.0.1/24 ^
If you are adding directly to your configuration.yaml file then you will need to add the device tracker line github.com/willbob8/willsurridgetech/blob/master/Network%20Stauts/NetworkStatusDisplay.yaml It should be 2 spaces after device tracker before the -, then hosts should be inline with platform Once the error is fixed then the known_devices file should populate - let me know if it doesn't and I can have a look :)
@@WillSurridgeTech so I deleted the device_tracker.yaml file and just put the line of code straight into the configuration.yaml file. After restarting it made a known_devices.yaml file and populated all my devices. Don't know why it didn't work the way you did it, but at least it worked. Guess my config file is bound to be huge...
I'm glad it works! That's the main thing! Sometimes it just doesn't matter why it works - we just need to leave it alone and not talk about it incase it hears us!
@@WillSurridgeTech now I have to figure out how to add my Pi4b and get those sensors to show. Also the upload/download speed. Right now I only have my router with packets sent / received. The graphs are what I really wanted
The internet speeds are easy - just add speedtestdotnet: to your configuration file For the speed tests then you need to add the system monitor sensor, and list the variables you want to measure: www.home-assistant.io/integrations/systemmonitor/
Great Video? Quick Question: I am somehow not able to get the sensor.speedtest, sensor.memory entities.....any thing else I need to setup to get these entities?
Speed test comes from the speed test integration - www.home-assistant.io/integrations/speedtestdotnet Memory etc comes from system monitor - www.home-assistant.io/integrations/systemmonitor/
@@WillSurridgeTech I've been testing the nmap tracker. Its pretty slow on start HA. I thing the ping platform works better, and its more selective on timing, and do not have the problem about arp based traffic broadcasting.
I had a fiddle like you suggested, and it did make everything pretty.
Amazing what a bit of tinkering can do
You help me a lot!!! allways... thank you!!! keep doing this stuff, we appreciate it
Thank you for the support! Glad it’s helping!
Will you are my new favourite youtuber! You are just quite simply geektastic 🤗 I've just started with HS and following your guides. Thankyou.
Wow, thank you!
@@WillSurridgeTech Are you on discord at all? I have questions.. or just post them here?
@@craigdavo I'm not I'm afraid - drop me a message on facebook and I'll help you out on there :)
Great content but I'm having trouble comprehending everything at such a fast pace.
Liked and subscribed.... Great content
Much appreciated!
Hi, please make video about google maps component that I can see you are using
Hi! I'll look into that! Thank you for the idea
Good video but two fast. Can you slow and more detalis for beginers.

I am also having this issue.
Same here
Same here.. I think HA stopped using / creating the file..

Hi im pretty new at this
i got this error when i tried to put device_tracker: !include device_tracker.yaml at configuration
2020-08-25 17:27:22 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio] Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 15, column 17: Unable to read file /config/device_tracker.yaml.

this if i make device_tracker.yaml and copy paste the platform nmap_tracker and change host to my router ip
nvm following @stringztoo advice by copying straight to configuration work
Not sure why your include didn't work, but glad it works being listed in your main config file :)

my device show as home for about 3 minutes when i restart hass but then they all go red and report as away
Hmm, if you have a router listed in here, try a different network mapper www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#presence-detection
Hello, I get this error: Component error: network - Integration 'network' not found.
Not sure what's happening there, if you're still struggling, send me your code
Great Video?

Speed test comes from the speed test integration - www.home-assistant.io/integrations/speedtestdotnet

@@WillSurridgeTech thanks... Just found out and now integrated. Awesome video and details.
Fab!
No configuration file now
What do you mean?
Nice video. I’m new to these, you r too fast. I thing I have to c this video many time to understand. Any way thanks
Sorry about that - I've slowed down since my earlier videos!
Will...please talk faster😉
Just kiddin..
I have to pause this video 120 times...😣
Haha sorry!
pretty dificult!
The price you have to pay I'm afriad!

Fair enough - I haven't had any problems, but if ping works then thats great!
