Configuration missing in HOOBS #27

I had been using this when running Homebridge from my iMac. However, I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 4B and installed HOOBS on it. When I installed this plug-in, the configuration options to add devices seem to be missing. Is there something I need to do to get it to work, or am I going to have to type it in manually in the advanced section? To clarify some things. I only entered the MAC addresses, since IP addresses can sometimes change. It still worked perfectly in the original setup.

I copy/pasted it from my Homebridge setup on my iMac into the HOOBS Advanced setup, and while it added all of the presence sensors, none of them triggered. Could it have anything to do with the phones being connected to WiFi while the HOOBS is connected directly via ethernet?

I finally figured out what was happening. I wasn't able to get the configuration to appear correctly in the HOOBS desktop app, but I was able to get my devices to connect. I was running HOOBS on a brand new Raspberry Pi 4B. Somehow net-tools were not installed, so the arp command was not present on my device. I noticed it while trying to use one of the other apps called People Pro, and the missing command came up in the log. As soon as I installed net-tools, this plugin started working.

I have the same issue on my raspberry pi so you are saying you got the options to show up in the configuration in visual mode after installing net-tools? How did you install net-tools?
