[Home Assistant addon] NetAlertX only detects the router and PC. What am I missing ?

[stamandr]

NetAlertX only detects the router and PC. I added the Networks to scan

192.168.0.1/24 --interface=eth0
192.168.0.9/24 --interface=eno1

But after days nothing else appears. What am I missing ?

Hi @stamandr ,

1. Could you please share your docker-compose? (I'm looking to confirm your network_mode:host configuration)
2. Could you please share a screenshot of your interfaces from System Info -> Network Hardware ? (I'm looking to confirm your eth0 and eno1 and your network masks which look a bit unusual - I'd expect something like 192.168.9.0/24, not 192.168.0.9/24 but I'm no network expert)

Please also read the troubleshooting tips in this doc: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/SUBNETS/?h=subnets

Hi @stamandr ,

Can you please provide these, otherwise I can't help:

My IP segment is 192.168.0.x not 192.168.9.x.

Hi @stamandr ,

2. Please provide a screenshot of your interfaces from System Info -> Network Hardware , not Network (EDIT: System Info is either in the navigation root or under About depending on the version you are using. )
3. Did you read the troubleshooting tips in this doc: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/SUBNETS/?h=subnets ?

[stamandr]

yes... I have read the troubleshooting tips

2. Please provide a screenshot of your interfaces from System Info -> Network Hardware , not Network (EDIT: System Info is either in the navigation root or under About depending on the version you are using. )

It will look similar to this one (from the above doc link): https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/img/SUBNETS/system_info-network_hardware.png

Thanks a lot @alexbelgium - let us know @stamandr if that helps after you upgrade to the latest version. I still think it's something environment or permission related, but unsure what to do to remediate.

Hi Alex, The new addon with full access works perfectly. I have as of now 58 devices reporting, however most report the device as (name not found). Will they update over time, or do I have to manually ?
?

[stamandr]

jokob-sk Thanks for all the help.....

[alexbelgium]

Thanks then I'll keep both in parallel as for the scrutiny addon : normal vs full access

Thanks @alexbelgium 🙏
