MMM-NetworkScanner

[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

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:

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.

@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

Yes, I’ve changed mine to suit my liking.

BTW, Hot to format text as code?

To display code, wrap it in one back tick character (for inline code) or three back ticks (for code blocks).Note that the back tick character isn’t the same as the single quote — ’ — mark; the back tick is located on the same key as the ~ on most keyboards.

@Mykle1 great, thanks. The last (I hope) question is about CSS - I would like to have online devices not white, but let say green. Or just “icon” to have green. Or just Name of device. (depends, what is easier) And the offline keep grey. Do you know, how to do that? Thanks
