About

Live radial map of your home network for Home Assistant. Finds your gear, places devices under the right hub, and lets you fix the rest by drag and drop, a pasted client list, or an AI assistant.

Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

Set up NetOrbit

SubnetIn CIDR form, for example 10.0.0.0/24. Up to 1024 hosts.
Router IPYour router. It becomes the center of the map.
Tracking modeAutomatic tracks everything it finds. Manual only tracks devices you add and lists the rest as new.
Ping intervalHow often tracked devices are pinged.

After setup

Tracking mode
Ping interval
Discovery scan intervalHow often the whole subnet is swept for new devices.
Mark as not seen afterA device that has not answered for this long turns red and fires a netorbit_device_stale event.
Ignore randomized (private) MAC addressesPhones and laptops often use a private address per network. Leave this on to keep them off the map.
Add hubs automatically when NetOrbit is sureWhen off, everything NetOrbit finds is listed under Review suggested hubs instead.
Group devices by type when the layout is unknownOn networks where nothing reports which access point a device uses, the card groups devices into TVs, computers, smart home and so on.
Show the internet on the mapEach ping round also pings two public DNS servers (1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8). The Internet node turns red when neither answers for two rounds while your router still does, and fires netorbit_internet_down and netorbit_internet_up events.
Read MAC tables from managed switches (SNMP)NetOrbit asks each device once an hour whether it is a managed switch, using read-only SNMP, then reads the switch's MAC table to place devices automatically.
SNMP community (password)Leave empty to try the factory default. If you changed your switches' read-only community, enter it here.
Name
IP address (optional)Leave empty for unmanaged switches with no IP. Hubs with an IP are pinged like devices.

From the README

A live, radial map of your home network for Home Assistant. Every device orbits the router, switch, access point or mesh node it connects through, colored by whether it's answering right now, was seen recently, or has gone quiet.
Install it, click Submit, and NetOrbit draws the best map your network can tell it about. Then fix anything it couldn't work out by dragging devices around, pasting a client list, or asking an AI assistant to do it for you.
Watch the first scan happen. Right after you add NetOrbit, the card shows a radar sweeping around your router with a live count of what it has found ("Scanning your network... found 12 devices") and…
Share your map. The Share button makes a picture of your map to download or copy, or a short video of the scan animation. Device names are hidden by default, so a TV shows up as "TV 1" and a camera…
Finds every device. Sweeps your subnet, learns MAC addresses from the ARP table, and names devices from what your setup already knows: Home Assistant's device list, device trackers, Ping sensors…
Finds your network gear. Spots routers, switches, access points and mesh nodes from who made them, what they call themselves, what they announce on the network, and what other integrations already…
Works out where each device connects, when your network will say:
Managed switches with SNMP: NetOrbit reads their MAC address tables and works out which switch port, and so which access point, every device is behind. No port mapping needed.
