kandi X-RAY | WhoIsHome Summary

WhoIsHome is a PHP library. WhoIsHome has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

A simple network based presence detection system. It works by using nmap to do a ping sweep of the network every 5 minutes. It matches the MAC address to each device found to a list of known devices and compares the last time it was seen to the current scan time to determine if the device is Home, Away, Online, Offline or Unknown. (Note: Some devices go online/offline a lot to conserve battery power. That is the reason for the 30min window when determining that a device is away.). I have the event on my system set to send an email to the SMS gateway of my service provider to send a text message to my phone. The event can be configured to do just about anything though. Currently I am running this on a PogoPlug v2 E02 and Arch Linux with Apache. I have also tested this on a Windows machine running IIS.
