In #3, it was proposed to add sensors for the number of devices connected to the guest network.

Unfortunately, Huawei routers allow guest devices to connect only to the primary router, and not to the entire mesh network, which makes it impossible to create triggers for the number of guest devices outside the coverage area of the primary router (because guest devices will simply not connect to the network).

Perhaps an alternative would be to create device tags at the component level.

Tag name	Tagged Devices
homeowners	Michael's phone, Michael's laptop
visitors	Victoria's phone, Eugene's phone

Michael's phone is connected to the "Garage" router
Michael's laptop is connected to the "Living room" router
Victoria's phone is connected to the "Living room" router
Eugene's phone is connected to the "primary" router

In this scenario, the sensors for the number of connected devices will provide the following attributes:

Sensor	Attributes and values
`sensor.huawei_mesh_3_clients_garage`	`guest_clients`: 0 `hilink_clients`: 0 `wireless_clients`: 1 `lan_clients`: 0 `wifi_2_4_clients`: 0 `wifi_5_clients`: 1 `tagged_homeowners_clients`: 1 // Michael's phone `tagged_visitors_clients`: 0
`sensor.huawei_mesh_3_clients_living_room`	`guest_clients`: 0 `hilink_clients`: 0 `wireless_clients`: 2 `lan_clients`: 0 `wifi_2_4_clients`: 0 `wifi_5_clients`: 2 `tagged_homeowners_clients`: 1 // Michael's laptop `tagged_visitors_clients`: 1 // Victoria's phone
`sensor.huawei_mesh_3_clients_primary_router`	`guest_clients`: 0 `hilink_clients`: 2 `wireless_clients`: 3 `lan_clients`: 0 `wifi_2_4_clients`: 0 `wifi_5_clients`: 3 `tagged_homeowners_clients`: 0 `tagged_visitors_clients`: 1 // Eugene's phone

The list of tags and the mapping of MAC addresses of devices to specific groups should be placed in the component's settings.

Multiple tags can be attached to each device.

maybe this can help you?

Tags can already be used in version 0.7.4. I hope this will be a sufficient alternative to an unusable guest network
