|
|
- **Name**: Friendly device name
|
|
- **Owner**: Device owner (The list is self-populated with existing owners)
|
|

|
|
Laptop, TV, router, ....) or type a new device type
|
|
- **Vendor**: Automatically updated by Pi.Alert
|
|
- **Favorite**: Mark the device as favorite and then it will appears at the
|
|
begining of the device list
|
|

|
|
your own Group name
|
|
- **Comments**: Type any comments for the device
|
|
|
|
## Session Info
|
|
- **Status**: Show device status : On-line / Off-Line
|
|
- **First Session**: Date and time of the first connection
|
|
- **Last Session**: Date and time of the last connection
|
|
- **Last IP**: Last known IP used during the last connection
|
|
- **Static IP**: Check this box to identify devices that always use the
|
|
same IP
|
|
|
|
## Events & Alerts config
|
|
- **Scan Cycle**: Select the scan cycle: 0, 1', 15'
|
|
- Some devices do not respond to all ARP packets, for this cases is better
|
|
to use a 15' cycle.
|
|
- **For Apple devices I recommend using 15' cycle**
|
|
- **Alert All Events**: Send a notification in each event (connection,
|
|
disconnection, IP Changed, ...)
|
|
- **Alert Down**: Send a notification when the device is down
|
|
- *(Userful with "always connected" devices: Router, AP, Camera, Alexa,
|
|
...)*
|
|
- **Skip repeated notifications during**: Do not send more than one
|
|
notification to this device for X hours
|
|
- *(Useful to avoid notification saturation on devices that frequently
|
|
connects and disconnects)*
|

# 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).
