rzuastiandClaude Opus 4.8 4e975598f9 Add DHCP scanner to frontend status displays
Add a DHCP scanner card to the Status screen and a DHCP row to the
consolidated Status card on the Home screen, mirroring the existing
mDNS/SSDP implementations. Also label DHCP-discovered device events as
"DHCP" instead of the raw "Dhcp".

OOTT ToDo list

  • Add linting to CLAUDE.md for both Rust and Dart

Backend

  • Add configuration options to enable/disable each scanner
  • Call out in README.md that the system needs to be run as root (to bind the network card and listen on lower ports)
  • Add the scanner that triggered the event to the device_events table
  • Improve notifications layout/text
  • Implement the pushover API call directly to support HTML content and review notification text to use it
  • Add SSDP/uPNP scanner
    • Make sure the new config options are in the TOML files and Nix module
    • Document in README.md the port needs/bindings
  • Add DHCP scanner

Frontend

  • Add the SSDP/UPnP status to the status screen and home screen
  • Add the DHCP scanner status to the status screen and home screen
  • In the notifications list, modify the behavior so that you can fully see the text of the notification before navigating to the device details
  • Can we add front-end tests?
  • In the devices list, add a color dot to reflect the last seen status (less than 10 minutes green, otherwise grey)
  • Change the URI for the homepage from /notifications to /home
  • In the devices list, the order by name is not consistent (iPad... before Lutron when ordering by name descending, maybe it should be case insensitive)
  • In the devices list, when the width is "medium", the list looks bad. Maybe make status pills not wrap to new lines
  • The ARP scanner status change the yellow to gray (yellow conveys problems, the scanner is just waiting)

Improve engine

Several complementary approaches work well alongside ARP:

Passive (low noise, no probing):

  • SSDP/UPnP — similar but for smart devices/IoT; multicast on 239.255.255.250:1900
  • DHCP snooping — monitor DHCP DISCOVER/REQUEST packets; new devices must ask for an IP before doing anything else, so this catches them very early
  • Passive packet capture — observe any broadcast/multicast traffic; a device that never responds to ARP still generates traffic

Active (you probe the network):

  • ICMP ping sweep — ping every host in the subnet range; more universal than ARP but generates traffic
  • TCP/UDP SYN scan — probe common ports (22, 80, 443, etc.); finds devices that silently drop ICMP
  • NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) — IPv6 equivalent of ARP; important if the network uses IPv6

Via infrastructure:

  • SNMP query to router/switch — pull the router's ARP table or switch MAC table directly; no need to scan at all
