It has 52 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 7, 2026. From the [repository description](https://github.com/darek-margas/wifi-association-presence): > Home Assistant presence detection from Wi-Fi access point association tables: a device is home while it is associated (joined) to one of your APs, not merely seen in ARP or a switch's MAC table... [Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/marketplace_repository/?owner=darek-margas&repository=wifi-association-presence&category=integration) On Home Assistant 2026.10 or older? [Open it in HACS](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=darek-margas&repository=wifi-association-presence&category=integration) ## Supports - **Works locally**: Talks to your devices on your own network. No vendor cloud in between. - **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS. - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services. ### After setup - **Grace period**: How long a device stays home after it was last seen associated to any access point. Covers roaming between access points, coverage gaps and a failing access point. Values under 30 s act as 30 s (away after one missed poll). - **Instant arrivals**: Access points that can report changes as they happen (MikroTik, OpenWrt, D-Link DAP through SNMP traps, and UniFi through its controller's event stream) make the integration poll at once, so arrivals show in seconds instead of up to a minute. Keeps one SSH connection open to each such MikroTik or OpenWrt access point or CAPsMAN controller, and one event stream to each UniFi controller; D-Link DAPs need their SNMP trap server set to Home Assistant's address. Departures still wait for the grace period, unless fast departure is on. - **Fast departure**: Off at 0. Otherwise, when an access point reports that a client left it (OpenWrt, D-Link DAP, UniFi; with instant arrivals on), a device missing from it is away this many seconds later instead of after the grace period. MikroTik, Cisco and TP-Link don't report clients leaving, so it changes nothing for them. Faster, but a device that drops off Wi-Fi for longer than this and comes back (power saving, a reconnect) shows away in between. Never under 10 s. - **SNMP trap port**: UDP port for SNMP traps from D-Link DAPs. They send to 162; use another port only if something else has 162 and the traffic is forwarded to this one.
