[Feature] Add attribute in device tracker "connected_in" (Node in Aimesh)
The problem
Is it possible to add an attribute in device_tracker that shows which node (Aimesh) the device is connected ?
This would help a lot in bayesian sensors for presence detection or device balancing
Specific device(s)?

Hello, @wallacemreis,
Thanks for your feedback! 👍🏻
The full AiMesh functionality is planned for the integration. Unfortunately, I still don't have a second device for all the needed tests, so I cannot yet guarantee any timeframe. But it will be implemented. I'll check if a node attribute for the device_tracker can be implemented sooner.
Please, check the new version 0.17.0 of the integration which implements some of the AiMesh features. More details here
The AiMesh functions in 0.17.0 are good. I'd love the feature that @wallacemreis requests as well, and this looks like a promising start.
A question out of curiosity, the "level" attribute that is displayed on my AiMesh nodes is always 0. What does it mean?
@dennisgranasen,
Hello. Actually, device trackers already have attribute showing which node they are connected to. It's called node and shows the MAC address of the node.
The level is literally the level in the AiMesh hierarchy. The main router is always 0. All the nodes connected with a wired connection are also 0 (by AiMesh definition). Nodes connected wirelessly to level 0 (parents) are level 1 (children). The next children will be level 2 and so on.
In case all of your nodes are level 0 - I suppose - they are connected in the wired mode? If not, please, open a new issue regarding the topic.
Wow, thanks. I failed to notice that attribute on device trackers, that's great! You are right that my mesh nodes use a wired backbone, so level 0 is correct then! Thanks for clarifying. Perhaps this information should be in the wiki, or maybe it is too obvious to everyone but me?

@dennisgranasen,
Unfortunately, I did not have time yet to add all the details to the documentation - development itself and debugging is taking too much time to fit into 24 hours. But I will add this info as well as some more soon
