MMM-NetworkScanner

I’m quite new to this and would like the line seperator with headline which is missing for me, can you explain (eli5) to me how to add it like in your screenshot with a custom title?

The header config is actually not specific to MMM-NetworkScanner, and can in fact be configured for any module. Try this

    {
        module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
        header: 'Who is home',
        position: 'top_left', 
        config: {
            // Optional config options
        }        
    },

@ianperrin Well. I feel kinda stupid but thank you!

@DevilRev there no such thing as a stupid question so keep asking away… ;)

Cool module, shows directly the mobiles based on their MAC adress nicely. However, the online status is not displayed (yes, wifi is on and the mac addresses are correct :)). Any idea?

EDIT; seems that only lowercase MAC adress work. My mobile phone just popped up, after changing the MAC address from uppercase (copy of advanced ip scanner) to lowercase.

Could you post a copy of your config for the module - masking the MAC addresses ;)

@ianperrin I tough the problem was solved by what I stated in the edit of the previous post. But my mobile just went to offline on the mirror, even though wifi is still on…

{
module: ‘MMM-NetworkScanner’,
header: ‘Aanwezig in huis’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
devices: [
{ macAddress: “1xxx”, name: “mom”, icon: “mobile”},
{ macAddress: “xxx”, name: “dad”, icon: “mobile”},
/**** { macAddress: “xxxc”, name: “Laptop”, icon: “laptop”}, /
/ { macAddress: “xxx”, name: “Mobile”, icon: “mobile”}, ****/
],
showUnknown: false,
showOffline: true,
keepAlive: 300,
updateInterval: 60
}
},

Feature that turns off the mirror when you leave the house.

I was looking at this module and your other module MMM-ModuleScheduler and was looking for something to turn my monitor off when I am not home.
Your other module already lets me turn it off the display while I am asleep when combined with MMM-Remote-Control, and so I looked into doing the same for when I am out of the house (When my phone is not connected to my LAN).

With a little help looking at MMM-ping I also managed to integrate IP address lockups and hostnames, so that if you have the option of IP addresses you can use them, and if not you can use MAC addresses, as I found IP addresses were more stable.

I am just about to send a pull request, but for now I have the forked version here. I am very new to node.js still and so any feedback from anyone willing to try this out would be appreciated.

Is it possible to add some color to the icons?

I do love this module! I have one bizarre problem. Whenever my “Kirsten” device is not home, the module will not get past “Loading”. As long as she is home, the module loads OK. If I take her out of the list, it also loads OK.

		   {
		        module: 'MMM-NetworkScanner',
		        position: 'bottom_right', 
		        config: {
            devices: [
        	      { macAddress: "cc:29:f5:36:ca:fe", name:   "Kirsten", icon: "female"},
	              { macAddress: "c4:9a:02:8c:50:72", name:   "Robert" , icon:   "male"},
                ],
            showUnknown: false,
            showOffline: true,
            keepAlive: 75,
            updateInterval: 5
        }               

Any thoughts? Thanks!
