It has 457 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 26, 2026. OpenWrt is a Home Assistant integration that monitors and controls OpenWrt routers locally. It talks to the router through the native OpenWrt Ubus interface, or over SSH, rather than SNMP or ping checks. It adds device tracking, system sensors for CPU, memory, load, uptime and temperature, plus switches and buttons for radios, WPS, services, internet access and backups. Further coverage includes VPN status for WireGuard and OpenVPN, multi-WAN, and cellular modem signal readings. Firmware updates, including custom firmware, are exposed as update entities, and actions can run shell commands, read or set router configuration values, and generate a report. Optional MQTT presence detection is available, and the integration is set up in the UI, with discovery on the network. Automatic summary of the README and code of FaserF/ha-openwrt.
