doesn’t work for me…
Go up about 8 or 9 posts from here and you’ll see what I recommended to someone about using an earlier version.

@Mykle1 Aha, I thought the latest would work now.
I’m now testing a version from early February, seems to work but I must have “showOffline: true” otherwise “No device online”. -

I use “showOffline: true” (see post above) so I don’t see that.

@Mykle1 for me it works also weird. For my iPhone (7, latest iOS) and Samsung (Android - don´t knwo which version, but the latest supported by phone) it works perfect. But for iPhone (5S, lates iOS) of my wife it works “randomly”. When is she is at home, module sometimes detects her phone, sometimes not. Sometimes it works, but after some time it makes her phone oflline even she still at home, iPhone on wifi (if I run any app detecting devices in the same network - Fing on my iPhone - it detects her iP5S). Any idea?

@zdenek @Mykle1 For me, it’s the same error on iPhone and Android. I think the phones turn off WiFi or use some energy saving mode because they log on and off all the time when they are passive/inactive, When I keep the screen ON, they are visible all the time. Therefore, the “KeepAlive” is a “must have”.
Now that I use early Februray, it works better, the phones only log off sometimes when inactive.But I would really like to hide devices that are not logged in, so you can add other friends and family who do not need to be visible all the time.

I would like that, too, but that is out of my hands. You could post an option request to the author. I understand he is away at the moment. Or, better still, you could fork the repo and develop that feature yourself. Then send a pull request to the author and he might add it permanently to the module.

I think @zeular is right when he said, " I think the phones turn off WiFi or use some energy saving mode because they log on and off all the time when they are passive/inactive, When I keep the screen ON, they are visible all the time. Therefore, the “KeepAlive” is a “must have”.
So, try increasing the “KeepAlive” value

@Mykle1 I also agree with @zeular but to increase KeepAlive (actually I´ve 5 minutes) will not give me accurate information. If person leaves, the system will give me wrong info for longer time). And as I said - weird is that to run Fing o iPad/iPhone and MyNet on Mac detects iPhone of my wife even module says she is offline. This module is perfect for me - when I came home I can immediately check, who is at home (I´ve quiet more kids than it´s common, so will be nice to know, who of them is at home) - so to get it works as good as possible is what I want…

I wish a could develop it my self… But I’m too bad at this. :)

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.
