I have got the following error log details:

"Logger: homeassistant.components.huawei_lte
Source: components/huawei_lte/init.py:392
integration: Huawei LTE (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 11:36:25 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 11:36:25
Could not resolve serial number to use as unique id for router at http://192.168.8.1/html/home.html, setup failed. Try setting up credentials for the router for one startup, unauthenticated mode can be enabled after that in integration settings"

The mysterious part is about setting up credentials for the router for one startup. I have LTE e3372 HiLink router. There is no password at all. The router requires only to connect to the LTE network from http://192.168.8.1/html/home.html page.

How can I connect to the LTE network and use the Huawei LTE e3372 router as an Internet access point in Home Assistant?
Is it possible with Huawei LTE addon ?

The documentation is not clear at all in this field.

Hey there @scop, @fphammerle, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (huawei_lte) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I think with the routers that require no credentials one can use admin as the username, and leave password blank.

Anyway it would be interesting to see if we could do something to be able to find a serial number for that device. https://github.com/Salamek/huawei-lte-api contains two scripts in examples/ -- device_info.py and data_dump.py -- that could help with that.

Could you try those out and see if their output contains the serial number somewhere? Typically I believe it's in Device.information->SerialNumber or Device.basic_information->SerialNumber (those are the two places we look from in the HA huawei_lte integration). (If you find the serial number there, let us know the path to it, not the serial or all other output of those commands as they may contain info you may not want to share in public.)

JFTR found one more place we may consider looking into, System.deviceinfo->SerialNumber
