Has anyone considered making a component that connects to Ubiquiti routers running on Edgemax to do presence detection?
Some examples:
- Edgerouter Lite (https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/)
- Edgerouter X (https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x/)
While there’s no great and straightforward API, the routers are accessible over ssh and a simple “show arp” command would work reasonably well as a starting point for connected devices.
