cisco_ewc

A presence detection plugin for Cisco Embedded Wireless Controllers and homeassistant

Overview

99% ripped from @fbradyirl's cisco_ios HA integration. I changed a few lines to get the list of associated wireless clients and made modifications to select the proper fields.

Requirements

Your homeassistant must be able to connect to the embedded wireless controller via SSH.

Recommendations

Create a read-only user on your EWC for homeassistant

Installation

• Create a cisco_ewc directory under your custom_components directory.
• Upload the three files from the repo, or pull from github.

Configuration

Add some lines to configuration.yaml

  - platform: cisco_ewc

    username: presence
    password: Presenc3
