@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.

@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.

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

@zdenek said in MMM-NetworkScanner:

any idea?

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.
