Sensors

• Download — cumulative received traffic
• Upload — cumulative transmitted traffic
• Download Rate — current download speed in kB/s

IPFire API

HA-IPFire reads the following IPFire endpoint:

/cgi-bin/speed.cgi

The rx_kbs and tx_kbs values returned by IPFire are intentionally ignored because they may report 0 kb/s.

The current transfer speed is calculated from the cumulative rxb and txb counters instead.

SSL certificates

SSL certificate verification can be disabled to support the self-signed certificates commonly used by IPFire installations.

Verification can be enabled when IPFire uses a trusted certificate.

Installation

HA-IPFire can currently be installed through HACS as a custom repository.

Repository:

FMainz/HA-IPFire

After installation, restart Home Assistant and add HA-IPFire through:

Settings → Devices & services → Add Integration

Validation

This release has successfully passed:

• Hassfest validation

• HACS validation
