guys please can you helpo the Hoime Assistant noob
firstly, WOW!! Excellent product
thank you
I have two questions
How do i setup Home Assistant to Alert me of Any New Devices that Connect to my Network ie: my kids friends connect with their mobile phones on my wifi. How?
When i receive an Alert from Home Assistant of a New Device(s), is there an Option to Block ALL New Devices from having Internet Service?
IE: The New Device(s) will receive an IP Address from DHCP however will be in a Quarantine State Until Approved Internet Service(s) are given? How?
Can i create GROUPS and Place my Devices eg: Mobiles, Printers, Laptops etc. in Groups to Monitor? How?
You know what I would do. Not over think it. Just lock it down.
Turn off DHCP, if you add a device, add the IP address manually. TBH it’s what I do anyway but I let guests connect, just all my home stuff is locked in, and I have a hundred at least.
Kids bring their junk over, they have to use their data unless you approve them, then they have to have a static mac address and you need to give them an ip address.
Automating it sounds like a fun project, but the fact that you are asking these questions up front tells me you don’t know how to do it and Kids be Kids they will find the thing you forgot and hack around you. Just close the door.
