homebridge-network-presence v1.2.3

homebridge-network-presence

Homebridge plugin that provides occupancy sensors for devices presence on your network based on mac address or IP.

Requirements

check with: node -v & homebridge -V and update if needed

Description

This plugin was inspired by the old homebridge-people plugin by @PeteLawrence and it's fork, homebridge-people plus by @Glavin001.

I created this plugin due to the lack of updated, supported and maintained plugin to check devices on your current network.

With this plugin you can easily configure devices to monitor based on their mac address, ip address or hostname.

Installation

This plugin is HomeBridge verified and HOOBS certified and can be easily installed and configured through their UI.

If you don't use Homebridge UI or HOOBS, keep reading:

1. Install homebridge using: sudo npm install -g homebridge --unsafe-perm
