New device alerts for known devices - 2 Networks - 2.4 GHz or 5GHz

[mikegodin23]

Hi.
I love your app - Thank you for your all your work.
In my house I have 2 (3) networks:

• Network1 - Company router - With 2 networks: 2.4 GHz and 5GHz
• Network2 - Mesh router

I have all my devices assigned with Static IP and listed on the app.

Everyday I receive alerts for "new device" that are already listed.
An example: I have my laptop connected to Network1. If I connect to the 5GHz network I receive an alert. If I change it to other room in the house (connecting to other Mesh module) I will get another alert.

Can anyone please help me?
Thanks.

Hi,

I assume this is caused by the devices generating a random Mac on your network. The devices are identified by Mac. If you have random Mac turned on on your device, you can disable it.

Hi @jokob-sk . Good afternoon.
Thank you for the answer.
I get it. I changed the settings on my phone but I keep receiving the alerts other devices - laptops, iot...

Hi there,

If the reports stopped getting sent for the phones after you changed this then a similar thing may be happening to other devices.

1. Try researching the device if there is a setting to disable this behaviour. Laptops especially.
2. If you still get unexpected notifications, you can surpress them at per this guide: https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/NOTIFICATIONS.md
3. If you still receive unexpected notifications, please post:
   • screenshot of the device before a notification
   • the notification itself
   • screenshot of the device after the notification

Thanks,
J
