Device_tracker questions: nmap vs arp-scan

Configuration
1

Looks like on HA, nmap_tracker and arpscan_tracker are doing the same thing. Correct?

  1. Is there a reason to use one over another?
  2. Why don’t either of these log IP addresses within known_devices.yaml?
  3. Is there an easy way to auto-generate on/off glance of all “known_devices”?
    • at least some way for a glance on device_tracker.MAC to show on/off instead of “home/not_home”

And lastly: according to the device_tracker page, known_devices.yaml is being deprecated. Does that also mean for nmap_tracker and arpscan_tracker? (I honestly just spent the last couple hours mapping friendly names and ip addresses. :laughing: )

Also interested in this given the netgear device tracker is now broken for me for some reason :slight_smile:

Figured it out. Router needs to have uPNP enabled.

Yeah it is broken for me too. How did you get it back up? I tried to install uPnP but it isnt loading for some reason.
