I’m still working through the issues introduced last weeekend, but have just added a commitwhich attempts to resolve the duplicate devices issue. I’d be grateful if you could try it out and confirm.

If you can provide the arp-scan command for this, an option could be added to support it - once the current issues are fixed of course ;)

I’m going to be taking a look at the notifications functionally after the issues with the current release have been resolved.

Nice to make a output gpio in this module, so I can installed a relais, to switch thinks on, only when I am in the house.

I’ve also issue - “resident” doesn’t work for me:

and here ic config:

	       {
      		module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
        	position: 'bottom_right', 
        	config: {
            		devices: [
	                    	{ macAddress: "ab:ab:ab:ab:ab:ab", name: "Mobile", icon: "server"},
                	],
            		showUnknown: false,
			debug: false,
            		showOffline: true,
            		keepAlive: 60,
            		updateInterval: 30,
            		residents: "Mobile",
			showLastSeen: true,
 	                occupiedCMD: {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', payload: {action: 'MONITORON'}},
            		vacantCMD  : {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', payload: {action: 'MONITOROFF'}},
 			}        
    	      },

any idea? module get started, Icon and name appers, but it’s still “grey” (like offline - wifi is on, I can see Raspberry and also Server on the same network via Fing)
Tried also with IP - the same. Tried another device, the same. And arp-scan --localnet I can see the devices I want to monitor

thanks for help

you could use an earlier version that does work until this one gets fixed

@Mykle1 thanks fir help. Stupid question - how? I can download source code of v0.0.1 and these files simply copy/paste to /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NetworkScanner folder? And subfolder node_modules leave as it is? If I did (and nothing else changed), module starts and on screen is just “Loading…” forever.

MMM-NetworkScanner received SCAN_NETWORK
MMM-NetworkScanner is scanning for mac addresses

and it continue on the same way

You can delete your existing MMM-NetworkScanner folder, seeing as it’s not working for you. Then go here, where you’ll find previous versions:
https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-NetworkScanner/commits/master

I am using late January or earlier February. I can’t remember which and I’m not with my Pi right now. Note: I am using only IP addresses, not MAC addresses, but it works perfectly for me

@Mykle1 thanks. Module starts, but “residents” doesn’t work for me.

MMM-NetworkScanner is scanning for ip addresses
Recived payload: [ { ipAddress: ‘192.168.1.11’,
name: ‘Mobile’,
icon: ‘server’,
online: true,
lastSeen: ‘2017-04-28T12:50:02.107Z’ } ]

So, device is online, but in Raspberry is “NO DEVICE ONLINE”

in config is:
residents: “Mobile”,

if I turn on “show unknow”, it lists about 10 devices in my net, include MAC belongs to 192.168.1.11

one more thing - the time of “last seen” (lastSeen: ‘2017-04-28T12:50:02.107Z’) is 2 hours lower compared to system time. It’s cause of time zone+winter/summer time. How to avoid the thime difference?

residents: [] belong inside the array. That is why residents: "Mobile", won’t work. However, I don’t fill the
residents:array at all, leaving it simply as, residents: [] See my config entry:

{
			disabled: f,
        		module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
        		position: 'top_left', 
        		config: {
			debug: false,
            		devices: [
                    	{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.2", name: "Dove", icon: "medkit"},
			{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.15", name: "BabyJesus", icon: "futbol-o"},
                    	{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.8", name: "BottlePop", icon: "globe"},
                    	{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.11", name: "Donna", icon: "venus"},
			{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.10", name: "Nikki", icon: "coffee"},
			{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.7", name: "Jason", icon: "fire-extinguisher"},
			{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.18", name: "MJD", icon: "child"}
                		],
            		showUnknown: false,
            		showOffline: true,
			showLastSeen: false,
            		keepAlive: 1200, // in seconds (20 min)
            		updateInterval: 30, // in seconds
            		residents: []
		}        
 		},

and the result:

I don’t know about your time issue, sorry.
