[SOLVED] Search through connected MAC addresses possible?
-
Is something like this possible?
The idea is that known MAC addresses are queryable and I can trigger a http call to set a status bit
I have searching all day.. trying to find appropriate script commands to do something similar..
this is what works on DD-WRT
#!/bin/sh # seconds between checks WATCHDOG_SLEEP_SEC=2 # MAC Address 1 MAC_ADDRESS_1="[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX]" # MAC Address 2 MAC_ADDRESS_2="[YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY]" # Vera VSwitch 1 Device ID VSWITCH_1="[99]" # Vera VSwitch 2 Device ID VSWITCH_2="[100]" #This loop will check if a device is registered on the AP and send the on/off command to vera. while sleep $WATCHDOG_SLEEP_SEC do if wl assoclist | grep -Fq $MAC_ADDRESS_1 then #echo Device 1 user is in wget -qs "http://[YOUR_VERA_IP_ADDRESS]:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=$VSWITCH_1&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1" else #echo Device 1 user is out wget -qs "http://[YOUR_VERA_IP_ADDRESS]:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=$VSWITCH_1&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0" fi if wl assoclist | grep -Fq $MAC_ADDRESS_2 then wget -qs "http://[YOUR_VERA_IP_ADDRESS]:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=$VSWITCH_2&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1" else wget -qs "http://[YOUR_VERA_IP_ADDRESS]:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=$VSWITCH_2&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0" fi done &

Look at /usr/local/www/status_wireless.php, modify that above accordingly, run from cron.

Hi
thanks very much for looking at this..I should add.. I am really trying to look up any device is connected.. not just wireless devices..
So far I am playing with things like arp lookup and also trying to see if I can vary this command to get what I want … ifconfig vtnet0 | grep ether
i thought I might get something back from this command
arp -na | grep -Fq e8:5a:8b:b6:71:5cbut my inexperience is showing

What's the problem with that? It works just fine - will return 0 on success, 1 on failure. You can see that with
arp -na | grep -Fq aa:bb:cc:ff:ee:ff; echo $?
arp -na | grep -Fq
is exactly what you need for the script as far as wired clients are concerned. -
yes you are right… i didn't test that command thoroughly enough..
thanks again
