Privacy & Random MAC's
The latest versions of some operating systems (IOS and Android) incorporate a new & interesting functionality to improve privacy: Random MACs.
This functionality allows you to hide the true MAC of the device and assign a random MAC when we connect to WIFI networks.
This behavior is especially useful when connecting to WIFI's that we do not know, but it is totally useless when connecting to our own WIFI's or known networks.
I recommend disabling this operation when connecting our devices to our own WIFI's, in this way, Pi.Alert will be able to identify the device, and it will not identify it as a new device every so often (every time IOS or Android decides to change the MAC).
IOS
Android
