Ruckus

This platform allows you to connect to Ruckus access points.

Ruckus Unleashed, Ruckus ZoneDirector, Ruckus SmartZone, and Ruckus One access points are supported. Access points running Standalone/Solo firmware are not supported.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

  • Presence detection - The platform will look at devices connected to the access point and will create a device_tracker for each discovered device.

Prerequisites

  • IP address / hostname, Username and Password which you use to connect to your Ruckus controller’s web dashboard.

Ruckus Unleashed

You may enter the IP address / hostname of any access point as the Host. If you’ve configured an Unleashed Management Interface, then use this instead.

Ruckus One

You’ll need to use your Ruckus One dashboard to create an Application Token. Go to the bottom of the Administration > Settings screen and select the Add Token link. Choose any Application Name, for example Home Assistant. The Token Scope can be Read Only.

When Home Assistant prompts for Ruckus connection details, use the full URL of a Ruckus One dashboard page as the Host (such as https://asia.ruckus.cloud/5dd1000334cc2a01fcf28a740a6c95cf/t/dashboard), your Token Client ID as the Username & your Token Shared Secret as the Password.

Configuration

To add the Ruckus hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

Limitations

This integration is not currently suitable for large multi-venue SmartZone or Ruckus One networks: there is no way to filter devices by Venue or Zone.

If you’ve configured your access points with an extended Client Inactivity Timeout, then this is how long you’ll need to wait for devices to be detected as not_home.

Troubleshooting

For this platform to work, the Ruckus controller or Unleashed AP will need to be accessible over HTTPS. If you are having trouble with Home Assistant not connecting, make sure the user you have specified can log in to the web dashboard and view AP, WLAN, and Client information.
