Tomato


The tomato platform requires an extra config variable called http_id. The value can be obtained by logging in to the Tomato admin interface and search for http_id in the page source code.

Because of a limitation in Tomato’s API, this platform will only track wireless devices. If tracking wired devices like a Philips Hue Hub is necessary, it is possible to use another platform like NMAP.

To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: tomato
    host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS
    username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME
    password:  YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
    http_id: YOUR_HTTP_ID

Default value: 80/443 (automatically detected)

SSL Certificate:

Gathering the SSL Certificate of your router can be accomplished with this (or a similar) command:

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect 172.10.10.1:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM > router_cert.pem
