Does not seem to work with NAS Docker Homebridge #10

I installed this one on a Docker Homebrdige on a NAS. I believe I have everything setup correctly but rebooting the server would hang and cause all other accessories not to be loaded.

Just a note that I tried one of the other "predecessors" to this plugin - People-X - and everything works as it should. Rightfully, this plugin should be even easier since it only does the pinging part of People-X. But it can't seem to load correctly on my system.

this is not working in the same way as other plugins... it checks the network via arp, look for all available devices and try to ping them to check if they are alive in the network... I might add a feature to use only ping instead of arp in the future...
