Monitor and control your AsusWRT-powered router from Home Assistant

AsusRouter is a custom integration for Home Assistant to monitor and control your AsusWRT (and AsusWRT-Merlin)-powered router using the AsusRouter python library.

The integration uses the native HTTP(S) API (the same way as WebUI) and relies on direct communication with your device.

Firmware limitations

Firmware versions 3.0.0.4.x are fully supported (older versions might have a limited amount of sensors available). When talking about the FW, 3.0.0.4 might be missed since it is the same all the time. Important is only the last part, e.g. 386.48631 for the stock or 386.7 for Merlin FW.

Firmware 5.x.x (some DSL models) is NOT supported (not AsusWRT).
