Home assistant integration

IoT

Hi,
I'm using Flint 2 router as my main router in my local network.

As you probably know there is no official gl.inet integration for home assistant. There are a few official apps on google play store for managing gl.inet routers but there isn't any official home assistant integration for it.

As home assistant is very popular home automation platform, gl.inet app on google store have more than 50.000 users, I think it would be nice if we have home assistant integration for gl.inet routers.
At least for the best selling models like flint 2.

Flint2 support to install this third-party plugin HA in the op24 firmware.

GL is not considering integrating this plug-in into the GL firmware for the time being, but users can install it manually. Thanks.

That's a full version of Home Assistant.

I don't want to run Home Assistant on the router, I just want an integration to show stats and soforth inside HA for the router..

Oh sorry, I have no idea about this, can google to find more.

Integrations are pieces of software that allow Home Assistant to connect to other software and platforms. More on this link.
As home assistant is probably the most popular platform for home automation it, by my opinion, lacks proper openwrt integration. The are some openwrt official and unofficial integrations but all of this just look like some unfinished project that someone started.
When you look on other router integrations they are way more better then opnewrt. They have gui, most if not all the sensors for nearly everything on the router and usually you can get list of all devices connected to it.
This is why I originally asked for integration. As home assistant is basically linux distribution as it is openwrt, integration for that should be way better then it is now. This is my opinion.

Well, a router is a router — not a home automation device.
So it's up to the OpenWrt community to integrate it.

Well yes and no. Router outside home automation system is just a router, but if you integrate it in some home automation environment like home assistant than it became home automation device. Because you can monitor router sensors, add automatons based on various things etc.
