MMM-NetworkScanner-loading...indefinitely

@sdetweil
This is one of the devices from the config.js{ ipAddress: "192.168.1.11", name: "Champagne", icon: "server"} MMM-NetworkScanner received a notification: IP_ADDRESS Object { ipAddress: "192.168.1.11", name: "Champagne", icon: "server", color: "#ffffff", showOffline: true, online: true }
This is from the console:
MMM-NetworkScanner.js:70:30 MMM-NetworkScanner IP_ADDRESS device: Array [ "Champagne", true ] MMM-NetworkScanner.js:80:31 MMM-NetworkScanner is updating device status. Array [ "Champagne", true ] MMM-NetworkScanner.js:284:31 MMM-NetworkScanner Champagne is online
Strangely when I run sudo arp -scan -l, this device doesn’t appear. But doesn’t the information from the console suggest that it should be displayed?
Conversely, the arp scan does find 192.168.1.15, but console displays this:
MMM-NetworkScanner received a notification: IP_ADDRESS Object { ipAddress: "192.168.1.15", name: "Millie", icon: "server", color: "#ffffff", showOffline: true, online: false } MMM-NetworkScanner.js:70:30 MMM-NetworkScanner IP_ADDRESS device: Array [ "Millie", false ] MMM-NetworkScanner.js:80:31 MMM-NetworkScanner is updating device status. Array [ "Millie", false ]
I would think that one of these would be displayed on the MM.
Any further thoughts? Thanks.

@jthirasilpa are those wireless? The arp scan only did Ethernet connected devices

Those devices are ethernet connected. Also, I was just checking the logs and there are a lot of ip addresses and:
0|mm | [20:52:38.389] [LOG] MMM-NetworkScanner is performing arp-scan 0|mm | [20:52:38.419] [LOG] MMM-NetworkScanner is performing ip address scan
but no MAC addresses - which you seem to have in your logs.

After a complete reinstall of MM, I finally managed to resolve this. After reinstalling the original NetworkScanner module and using macaddresses to add to the config.js, I kept getting the “sudo requires your password” message. I went through node_helper.js and the only command that appears to require sudo is arp-scan. So I amended sudoers to allow sudo arp-scan without password using:
sudo visudo
and then adding:
# Allow arp-scan without sudo username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/arp-scan
This allows sudo arp-scan to run without a password, while maintaining password requirements for other sudo commands.
Many thanks to Sam et. al. for input on this issue.

@jthirasilpa cool. Thx for the update. Using the updated file w password support should have allowed without sudoers
