Does anyone have issues with the “occupied” and “vacant” part working? I tried to set it up and test it but i have had no luck. I want the mirror to turn off when i leave and turn back on when i return. I love this idea but need a little help configuring it to work.

My config is below:

{
	        module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
	        position: 'top_right',
		header: "Network Scanner",
	        config: {
	            devices: [
	                    { macAddress: "lower case", name: "B Phone", icon: "mobile"},
	                    { macAddress: "lower case", name: "B Work Phone", icon: "mobile"},
			    { macAddress: "lower case", name: "B Work Laptop", icon: "laptop"},
	                     ],
	            showUnknown: false,
	            showOffline: true,
	            keepAlive: 300,
	            updateInterval: 10,
		    showLastSeen: true,
	            residents: "B Phone",
	            occupiedCMD: {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', payload: {action: 'MONITORON'}},
	            vacantCMD  : {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', payload: {action: 'MONITOROFF'}},
	        		}        
    		},

I am also getting duplicates as well. Any help on this?

@bluedoors modify the js file to scan your subnets? If your subnets were 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 you could scan 192.168.1.0/23 to scan both subnets, right? Same gateway for both subnets?

Ah, nice: Is this doing, what I suspect it’s doing? ;)
occupiedCMD: Notification to be sent when a resident returnes home e.g. {notification: ‘REMOTE_ACTION’, payload: {action: ‘MONITORON’}} would turn the mirror on when a resedent returnes home.

What does “returnes home” mean: Changing from “offline” to “online”: trigger the action (vice versa for vacantCMD). It does only trigger once? Would it be possible to call an external URL with this? - and then: does it trigger if any resident leaves or can I specify which resident leaves?

bminer1

@binderth I tried testing it by turning my WiFi off on my phone, waiting a few minutes to see if it turns off and it doesn’t turn off. I even physically left the house for dinner and came home to it still on. I love the feature and would do almost anything to get it to work. I’m new to all this stuff so i don’t have the skill to debug on my own.

binderth

@bminer1 yes, this is nice! would be killer, if it were to be configured per device! ;) it seems from the way in the config, it was intended to fire regardless of which device leaves or comes up again…

bminer1

@binderth When i read through the Read ME, it says that the Residence determines when to turn on and off. I want this to work for me so then i can put my wifes phone in there as a resident and that way, when both of us leave, it shuts off. when one of us is home, it stays on.

binderth

@bminer1 ah. ok, I get it (didn’t have “residents” in my config either). So, this one is realy “every resident is offline”: i do something. “At least one resident is online again”: i do something. So this would then be a generic presence detection.

Would be cool, if it could also be bound to specific residents. So I can have Actions regarding on them also.

bminer1

@binderth I think you are on a right track. We just need to debug the “simple” task of turning on and off and then the fun can begin with other stuff.

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.

@derek7467

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 ;)

@bminer1, @binderth

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

zdenek

@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

zdenek

@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.

zdenek

@Mykle1 You are the best! Thanks. Finally it works. The problem was with the array. But see home page of module https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-NetworkScanner - there is an example config and there is
residents: “Mobile”,
The only difference is that I’ve 1st icon and then name
The time difference i’ve to check. Thanks a lot
BTW, Hot to format text as code? If I tried the icon it place ```, than row
//my code
and again the same three signs. I tried to add row between the weird signs, but it’s normal text
Thanks
