Presence detection (opnsense) does not work for me

Feedback

My problem is that all device-trackers are being shown always as at Home and never as Away. It does not depend on the connection status of the device in the network as it should.

Homeassistant seems to connect to Opnsense. It showed a SSL connection error at first, but that was fixed by adding my custom CA. I get no error in the logs now.

Here is my Homeassistant configuration:

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 172.30.33.0/24
  ip_ban_enabled: true
  login_attempts_threshold: 5

additional_ca:
  my_private_ca: lan.crt

opnsense:
  url: https://router.lan/api
  api_secret: U+sfLniJujz94...
  api_key: JdjDxeaxhOs3cL...
  verify_ssl: True
  tracker_interfaces:
    - Trusted

group:
  smartphones:
    name: "Our Smartphones"
    entities:
      - device_tracker.phone_alice
      - device_tracker.phone_bob

The interface Trusted is the name of the opnsense interface where both devices are in.

Here is my Opnsense user configuration:

The devices show up in homeassistant:

When I open a device tracker in homeassistant I get this warning, but this might be normal:

Hi @klaasnicolaas,

thank you, I will do that. One further remark: I landed in the issue section here because of this page: Link. On the bottom, it asks me to "provide feedback for this page" and sends me right here. I find this misleading, if this is only intended for confirmed issues.

That button is for documentation feedback, from your issue I have not been able to determine that there is anything that can be improved in the documentation. More like an issue with the integration or a support question.
