Configuration

The preferred way to setup the Orange Livebox platform is by enabling the discovery component.

Add Livebox module via HACS

Add your device via the Integration menu

Open your Home Assistant instance and start setting up a new integration.

Initial setup

You must have set a password for your Livebox router web administration page.

The first time Home Assistant will connect to your Livebox, you will need to specify the password of livebox.

Supported routers

Only the routers with Livebox OS are supported:

  • Livebox v3
  • Livebox v4 (not tested)
  • Livebox v5 (not tested)

Presence Detection

This platform offers presence detection by keeping track of the devices connected to a Livebox router.

Ability to disable this option by integration options

Notes

Note that the Livebox waits for some time before marking a device as inactive, meaning that there will be a small delay (1 or 2 minutes) between the time you disconnect a device and the time it will appear as "away" in Home Assistant.

You should take this into account when specifying the consider_home parameter. On the contrary, the Livebox immediately reports devices newly connected, so they should appear as "home" almost instantly, as soon as Home Assistant refreshes the devices states.

Sensor

This platform offers you sensors to monitor a Livebox router. The monitored conditions are instant upload and download rates in Mb/s.
