MMM-NetworkScanner

[amanzimdwini]

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.

Hi there, hope you can help… i have tried everything and cannot get this to work. I just receive the “NO DEVICES ONLINE” message…(been working on it for two days)

But as i was writing this message… and inserting my config code i noticed my config said “device:”

Just changed it to “devices:” and now it works… god knows why i had “device”… i dont know if this is in some code somewhere haha

If others are having trouble or getting error messages… just double check that haha… oh man feel like an idiot…

[AshDarko]

I do however get this from time to time…

Glad you got it sorted.

I think all the documentation and code uses devices, but if you spot otherwise, please raise an issue.
