It has 360 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 24, 2026. GL-iNet is a custom integration that connects Home Assistant to GL.iNet routers running 4.X firmware. It works locally and is set up in the UI with the router host and admin credentials. Connected devices are tracked as presence entities across wired, wireless and guest networks, with a configurable delay before a device counts as away. Clients that use randomized MAC addresses can be ignored, tracked as disabled or tracked as enabled. Sensors cover CPU temperature, load averages, memory and flash usage, uptime, WAN status and client counts. Switches control Wi-Fi interfaces, WireGuard clients, Tailscale and the router LEDs, and a button reboots the router. The router can be found automatically on the network, and a repair notice appears if the default router password is still in use.

No vendor cloud in between. - **Found by itself**: Home Assistant spots it on the network and offers to add it. - **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. ### Connect - **Username**: This is always 'root' by default on GL-iNet devices - **Host**: The hostname or IP address of your GL-iNet router. - **Password**: The password you use to login to your router's admin page, this is unlikely to be the same as your WiFi password - **Consider Home**: Seconds to wait before deciding that a device is away - **Verify SSL certificate**: Enable SSL certificate verification (disable for local self-signed certificates; ignored for HTTP connections). ### Sign in again - **Password**: The password you use to login to your router's admin page, this is unlikely to be the same as your WiFi password ### Change the connection - **Username**: This is always 'root' by default on GL-iNet devices - **Host**: The hostname or IP address of your GL-iNet router. - **Password**: The password you use to login to your router's admin page, this is unlikely to be the same as your WiFi password - **Verify SSL certificate**: Enable SSL certificate verification (disable for local self-signed certificates; ignored for HTTP connections). ### After setup - **Consider Home**: Seconds to wait before deciding that a device is away - **Verify SSL certificate**: Enable SSL certificate verification (disable for local self-signed certificates; ignored for HTTP connections). - **Randomized-MAC devices**: How to handle clients that use MAC-address randomization (e.g. phones). Warning: each new connection of a randomised MAC will create a new short-lived entity. Texts from the code of [HarvsG/ha-glinet4-integration](https://github.com/HarvsG/ha-glinet4-integration). ## Entities - **Buttons**: Reboot - **Sensors**: Connected clients, LAN clients, Router Wi-Fi clients, Guest clients, CPU temperature, Load avg (1m), Load avg (5m), Load avg (15m), Memory usage, Flash usage, Uptime, WAN status - **Switches**: Tailscale, LED ## Troubleshooting - **Diagnostics**: Downloads a diagnostics file to attach to a bug report. - **Repair notices**: Notices it can show in Settings, Repairs: Default router password in use ## From the README > A Home Assistant custom component for GL.iNet routers powered by their API version 4 via the gli4py library. > > - Automatic Client Tracking: Tracks devices connected directly or indirectly to your GL.iNet router across wired LAN and wireless interfaces. > - Broad Interface Support: Identifies connections on 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz, MLO, LAN, Dongle, and Guest networks. > - Detailed Attributes: Exposes MAC address, IP address, connection interface type, and last seen timestamp (last\_time\_reachable). > - Configurable Presence Timeout: Customize the "Consider Home" duration in seconds to prevent devices flapping when they enter low-power sleep. > - Randomized MAC Handling: Choose whether clients using randomized MAC addresses are ignored (default), tracked as disabled, or tracked as enabled.
