#Question: Can I get hostnames of clients connected to each interface? #19

I want to setup a presence detection that uses hostnames instead of IP. How would i accomplish that. I already have the basic sensors working

While this may be possible I was not able to figure out how to do it with fauxapi.

Why not utilize nmap? ref: https://nmap.org/book/man.html ref: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nmap_tracker/

Example: 

➜  ~ nmap -v -sn 192.168.1.2

Only able to get devices on my .0.1 AP not the .1.1 nor .2.1

That sounds like a NAT or firewall issue.

I'm working on a new integration (that doesn't require faux api). I've currently got over 100+ sensors available on a basic pfSense machine (the numbers go up based on how many interfaces, etc you have). I'll be implementing device_tracker as well using a pfSense api which gets the arp table (this is similar to how the opnsense integration works). I'm not quite ready to implement it just yet as I'm still putting a bow on the sensor platform but let me know if you're interested in testing.

Device tracker support using the arp table implemented here: https://github.com/travisghansen/hass-pfsense
