Description

Is it possible to restrict sniffing to a single interface? - E.g. only sniff on wlan0.

I believe this will free up a lot of CPU.

When starting up with defaults I see it puts eth0, wlan0 and lo into promiscuous mode.

Yes, you can use the interface option. It is not documented but the option exists.

(amazon-dash) [nekmo@homura ~/Workspace/amazon-dash] (develop)$ amazon-dash discovery --help
Welcome to Amazon-dash v1.3.1 using Python 3.6.6
Usage: amazon-dash discovery [OPTIONS]

  Discover Amazon Dash device on network.

Options:
  --interface TEXT  Network interface.
  --help            Show this message and exit.

It should also be available in the configuration file:

# amazon-dash.yml
# ---------------
settings:
  delay: 10
  interface: wlan0

I don’t get the interface option and the config fails if added for me. Running amazon-dash version 1.3.1 python 2.7.9
