Hey there @kennedyshead, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (asuswrt) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

More information and history in #18643 that got closed due to inactivity.

Hmmm thanks for the info. As there is no solution, it looks like nobody cares. My router reports proper amount of transferred data and because there is a 4.3GB max value it looks like counter overflow. This overflow can be a risky or can cause memory leaks.

I care about this, Its just that I have not found the solution yet ;)

Ok, THX ;-) Just a wrong assumption as the previous thread was closed because of inactivity. Sorry.

Also able to reproduce this issue.

Im having the same issue, when the download and upload counter reaches 4.3gb it individually resets.
I have Home assistant 109.6 and asuswrt to the latest version 3.0.0.4.385_20490 - router RT-AC88U.

I would love to have a proper meter for this.

Not sure if it helps, but at the post #18643 (comment) looks like @arigit found a workaround. Im not technically capable to perform it with such overview guidelines though.
I holp there's a solution to this.

All the best,

Throwing my hat in the ring as I care about this as well. Having the same issue as the other commenters. This renders the upload/download sensor data meaningless. Would hugely appreciate any commentary whether a fix may be available "soonish" or if a viable workaround like using a template counter is possible.

I have the same problem.

I care about this. There's 2 threads I've been following for years now:

#18643 and #19002

Any ideas?

I also have this problem. It appears the library aioasuswrt the following to get the RX / TX amounts:

_RX_COMMAND = 'cat /sys/class/net/{}/statistics/rx_bytes'
_TX_COMMAND = 'cat /sys/class/net/{}/statistics/tx_bytes'

The problem is that file is not accurate, and there doesn't seem to be any other way to get an accurate value out of it.

So at this point I think there's no way to solve this unless HA starts maintaining historical data for this, which is probably not ideal.

It looks like nobody willing to fix this...

ASUS AC66U, ASUS AC68U - same problem:

I suppose this issue is similart to what you could see in snmp: when the counter is "too high", it resets to zero. and does not increment itself.

It may depend on type of variable used to calculate traffic: if it is 32bit integer then the max value is 2^32=4294967296 which may be presented as ~4.3 (which is not actually right).

This should not be closed.

Would be good to see a solution.

Maybe one day this will be fixed, until then I added some sensors using the integration platform that seem to work okay.

- platform: integration 
  source: sensor.asuswrt_upload_speed
  name: asuswrt_upload_integral_total_mbit
  unit_time: s
  round: 0
  method: left
  
- platform: template 
  sensors:
    asuswrt_upload_integral_total_gb:
      friendly_name: "Upload total"
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.asuswrt_upload_integral_total_mbit')|float / 8192) | round(1) }}" 
      unit_of_measurement: GB

      
- platform: integration 
  source: sensor.asuswrt_download_speed

Yes still an issue.

I think we can consider this abandonware, move to https://github.com/Vaskivskyi/ha-asusrouter

Nothing to do with this issue that will not be fixed by a different integration version.

Imo. the stastics integration is the way to go here, its either that or saving the value somewhere and appending to it but that seems to me as the same solution as statistics integration with the difference that its supported and a native solution to homeassistant.
maybe the new http version will handle this once merged

Until/if this issue is resolved, consider passing the data into a template sensor with a state_class: total_increasing. That sensor should not reset to zero even if the source sensor does so. Best also to convert to MB or GB units in the template sensor. (Note: I'm not sure what the units are from the native sensor so you may need to adjust the divisor).

platform: template:
  sensors:
    - unique_id: asuswrt_cumulative_upload
      name:      ASUSWRT Cumulative Upload
      state_class: total_increasing
      unit_of_measurement: "MBits"
      state: >-
        {{ 
              sensor.<your router>_upoad | int(0) / 1024
        }}
