Simplify Network Monitoring: Building an ESP32-powered Solution

Take control of your network by using this easy-to-build tool! In this episode, Mark uses an ESP32 board to set up a system that will monitor your network and the devices that are accessing it. You can receive a Telegram message when someone starts accessing the network or see the user's IP address and other info in the blink of an eye.

Interesting project, thank you! I like the idea of getting information about the wifi logging, adding it in telegram means that you will receive notifications even if you are not home, which is greath!

I really like the WiFi configuration page. That's so convenient. I may have to add a configuration with a log file / web page for an easy check of recent IPs as well.

Perhaps allow the storage of known mac / friendly names in nvs on the esp32. That way you could always have a description for known devices on your network, meaning any device that was unknown would be much easier to spot.

If you have any question, feel free to ask, I will do my best to answer all

What make and model is your microscope on your desk ? I need a good one for working on smd boards but so many choices.

Excellent project, the mqtt connection is all that is missing in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!

I do not have a ESP32. Is it possible to replace with a maker uno or a raspberry pi as I have that connected to my network running pihole.

[MAYERMAKES]

poor mans wireshark! that would have come in handy so many times when I made wifi projects! certainly gotta make one of these for my own usage!

The default password, ForElement14 does not work. Changed it in the .ino, recompiled and upload and does not take the value I set either.... What password should we use?

This is a very interesting project but it only seems to report when our mobile phones connect to the network. When my other ESP8266 devices or my laptop computer connect to my network, no notification gets sent or shows in the serial monitor.
Any idea why this is happening ?

I have installed unmuted but dont show any device

Interesting project, but the router's admin web page should give you all of that information.
