Nmap with a Windows phone (specifically Windows 10 Mobile

Configuration
1

I just wanted to throw this out there to help any of the few others that currently are working with HA and using a Windows 10 mobile device with Nmap

I found that Nmap would NOT see my phone for the life of me, everything with the server worked fine, no errors but it would not find my 950xl. After a bit of digging I found that by default Windows 10 mobile is invisible to the network. So in order to get it working those few of us with a Windows 10 mobile handset will need to do the following.

Settings --> Update & Security --> For Developers. Set the device to “Developer mode” and turn on “Device discovery” and Device Portal

That should set the phone into a visible mode for discovery by Nmap.

hope this helps the few using a Windows 10 handset.

Cheers!

Nice work Noahma.

Do you use also a app to track your phone outside in HA? If Yes, what is the app name.
I have search al lot of time, but can’t find a compatible app for Windows phone.
