I am just getting going to home assistant.  I am most likely in over my head using this open source software, but figured I would give it a go.  I have gotten so far are to get it running & also successfully connected to my ASUS router.  I opened my "known_device.cvs" file and see all the stuff on my network.  For the mobile phones I want to track, I changed the "0" to a "1".  Is this correct?  I have not put in a path to a photo yet.  I restared the app when I did this.  But I don't see anything on the UI.  The only thing i have on the UI is the "sun" and my chromecast which it auto discovered.  What am I missing in order to get my family members up at the top of the UI like the demo?...   Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here’s what I did to get the tracking working:

 

Set the 0 to a 1 on the devices you want to track (which you did) – I also replaced the name (since an IP address showed up).

 

device,name,track,picture

64:76:00:C0:00:73,192.168.10.103,0,

B8:00:61:CC:00:78,192.168.10.101,0,

B8:00:56:00:94:BF,Carlo,1,https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/598142944/UFQKavw9_bigger.jpg

 

And load the device tracker in the configuration.yaml file.

 

device_tracker:

  platform: nmap_tracker

  hosts: 192.168.10.100-250

  home_interval: 10

 

I restarted HA and ended up with this in my UI.

 

Good Luck.

CARLO.

Thx for the note!  Still did not work.  I might have more wrong with my setup.  I see some messages about the device tracker not able to update new devices..   This is what I have in my config file:
device_tracker:
  platform: asuswrt
  host: 192.168.0.1
  username: admin
  password: XXXX
  home_interval: 10   #(I added this based on your suggestion)

My device file is:
"device,name,track,picture"

"6C:AD:F8:5E:C9:97,Chromecast,0,"

"40:0E:85:7A:A9:17,Dad,1,REB.jpg"

"00:21:9B:05:39:92,Media-Dell,0,"

"E0:63:E5:B4:23:DD,android-7b75233d98fa26cb,0,"

etc...

Let me know if there is a good place for tutorials, beginners guide, etc.  I searched around the Home Assistance site and could not find stuff at the simple level I need.

Thx again for any advice / point me in the right direction.

Try changing the device tracker to the NMAP for a test.

 

I also used a full URL for the picture.
