      Well, knowing what we know about the phones, you could try disabling the power-saving feature on them so that their wifi doesn’t drop off the network. This way NetworkScanner won’t “lose” them, theoretically. However, you’ll likely see huge battery loss on the phones.

      I have that disabled on my phone (Galaxy S7) and it didn’t work. Maybe it has something to do with the ARP on the PI, I cant see all of my things in ARP that is on my network either. Maybe you shouldn’t?

        Hi all

        Really sorry about the lack of progress/development on this module. I’ve been consumed by renovations at home and starting a new job.

        There are clearly still issues with the module. Unfortunately I am not going to be able to look into them for some time yet. So, if there is someone who can pick up the baton and submit a pull request that would be great.

          Hi,

          I’am pleased with the module as it is, I just can’t seem to get the keepAlive working.

          Part of my config:

          {
          			module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
          			position: 'bottom_left',
          			config: {
          				devices: [
          					{macAddress: "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", name: "Kleine iPad", icon:"mobile"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Telefoon Hein-Jan", icon:"android"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPhone Nicole", icon:"phone"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPad Nicole werk", icon:"apple"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Tesla", icon:"car"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "Grote iPad", icon:"tablet"},
          					{macAddress: " xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ", name: "iPhone Hein-Jan", icon:"phone-square"},
          				],
          				showUnknown: false,
          				keepAlive: 300,
          				showLastSeen: false
          			}
          		}
          
          

          The keepAlive is in there, but if a device is detected (highlighted), it also “disappears” (un-highlighted) in aprox 5 seconds.
          I was under the impression that the keep alive would keep it highlighted (alive) for at least 300 seconds (5 minutes).
          Is my understanding wrong?

          Kind regards,

          Hein-Jan

            No, it’s not. I had the same problem when I was using MAC addresses instead of IP addresses. Also, I’m behind one or two commits on the version. Once I had it working to my liking I stopped updating it. I’ve had no trouble with it since.

            {
            	disabled: f,
                    module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
                    position: 'top_left', 
                    config: {
            		debug: false,
                        	devices: [
                                	{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.2", name: "Dove", icon: "medkit"},

                            		],
                        	showUnknown: false,
                        	showOffline: true,
            		showLastSeen: false,
                        	keepAlive: 1200, // in seconds (20 min)
                        	updateInterval: 30, // in seconds

              After a few hours of having fun with this module (wanted to track phones vs MAC), here is what finally worked for ME:
              I added one “dummy” IP address (eg of my home NAS). Once the program saw the IP address, it also found all the MAC addresses.

              NO idea why, so don’t knock this. Banged my head against it for hours.
              [then again, maybe the black cat I sacrificed helped too]

              Anyway, that’s my 2c.

                  Is it somehow possible to sort the list of devices not by alphabet?
                  I would like to have it sorted, like it is set in the config.
                  (Only macaddresses are working in my case, with a IP in only get offline clients)

                    Hi guys,

                    I added a feature to show devices in different color. I created a pull request with all relevant changes.

                    Enjoy.

                    Thanks for this cool plugin.

                    Ralf
