Easymesh Satellite Routers #51

Open mediacutlet opened 4 months ago

mediacutlet commented 4 months ago

This is more of a discussion point / request than an issue. I have an Archer AX73 as my primary router and two C80s as backhaul satellite nodes (plus a couple traditional mesh extenders) which make up my easymesh network.

I have an automation which utilizes the 'Restart Router' sensor/button from this integration. The issue is that this does not also reboot the satellite routers, only the primary AX73. The only way to restart satellite routers seems to be buried within submenus in the Tether app. I'm currently exploring programming a couple Tasmota plugs to provide a power on/off solution but I'd love to do this all from this integration if possible. Thanks for the work on this as it already provides a ton of function and data for me.

Hi! I have 3 routers and I have connected each separately to the integration. So I have a full control for every router.

Unfortunately, C80 is not supported by this integration. It would be great if you could add the support for your router by implementing methods for TplinkC6V4Router class here https://github.com/AlexandrErohin/TP-Link-Archer-C6U/blob/main/tplinkrouterc6u/client.py#L644

Thanks for the reply @AlexandrErohin -- I'll add this to my list of 'weekend projects'

I just got an AX3000 Range Extender (RE705X). After installed, i find that my device tracking on my iphone is unavailable as my iphone is connecting to the range extender, instead of the main router. It would reappear as HOME as i walk back to near to the main router. Is there a way to fix this?
