AiMesh

Limitations

Identity

AiMesh node identity is a base information about the node / router. It is exposed in the lists of nodes and events. The following attributes are the part of node identity:

AsusRouter >= 0.17.0

• mac - MAC address of the device
• ip - IP address assigned to the device
• alias - alias of the node (as set by user through device Web UI)
• model - device model
• type - type of node [router, node]
• connected - current connection status (boolean)

Device

AsusRouter >= 0.17.0

For each AiMesh node a Home Assistant device is created, providing the basic device info:

• Model
• Manufacturer
• Firmware version
• Connected via (a link to the main router device through which node is connected)

Device name is set via model value.

Binary sensor

aimesh_{model}_{mac}

AsusRouter >= 0.17.0

• Details:

  The current state of AiMesh node. This binary sensor is automatically added to the AiMesh device.

  Attributes

  • identity attributes

    • except: connected

  • level

    • Type: int
