 ====== Integrate FreshTomato with Home Assistant ======
-Integrating Home Assistant with FreshTomato allows you to track devices connected to a wireless router running FreshTomato firmware.  \\   \\
+Home Assistant can be integrated with FreshTomato. This allows you to track/monitor devices connected to the FreshTomato router. Currently, there are two known implementations of HA-FreshTomato integration.
-See this Home Assistant article for an example of how to configure a basic setup:
+ \\
+==== Option 1 ====
+ \\ The first implemenation is on the Home Assistant website. See this page to configure a basic setup:
 [[https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tomato/]]  \\   \\   \\  {{:ft_stats_showing_in_home_assistant.png?600}}
- \\   \\  The github page containing the Home Assistant source code for Tomato integration can be found here: [[https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/tomato]]  \\   \\   \\
+ \\
+This integration is confirmed to work with FreshTomato (ARM) since r2020.8. However, this implementation has a **large limitation**. \\
+Excerpt from the webpage: \\ "This particular Tomato integration allows one to track devices which are connected to a //wireless// router that is running Tomato as firmware. Because of a limitation in Tomato’s API, //this integration will only track wireless devices."//
+ \\
+While the contributor's code is greatly appreciated, technically speaking, the above statement is only partly accurate. It's not a FreshTomato limitation that prevents wireless clients from being tracked. It's more so the way the integration code was written.
+ \\
+==== Option 2 ====
+ \\
+ha-freshtomato, the other implemenation, may work better. It tracks //both wired and wireless// clients. It also appears to add more functionality.
