PoC UPnP binary sensor for Home Assistant

  • Get instant notifications when turning UPnP-enabled devices on and off.
  • Works by listening for SSDP "ssdp:alive" and "ssdp:goodbye" notifications, for this the device has to be in the same network.
  • May or may not work for you, different devices seem to behave differently regarding to their notifications.

Installation

  1. This sensor requires upnpclient to be installed.
pip install upnpclient

  1. Copy custom_components/binary_sensor/upnp.py to its correct place.

  2. Find out the UUIDs of the devices you want to track somehow, there is a small script in this repository to do that.

python list_devices.py
  1. Configure home assistant.
