Intermittent presence for Android device

[adebrouvier]

Hi, I have a Google Pixel 9 running Android 15 and presence detection seems to work intermittently, I get multiple sessions even if the device never disconnected from the WiFi network. It might be an Android setting, but I did not have the same problem with my older Android 13 smartphone and my tablet with the same NetAlertX setup.

Is there anything NetAlertX setting that I could modify to improve this or any log that I could share to help debug?

Hi @adebrouvier,

I saw similar behaviour of some of my devices so I think it's a device specific issue. Arpscan simply checks if a device responds, if it does not, its marked as disconnected. It's not an issue for me so I didn't look into device settings which would influence the behaviour.

You could try completing arpscan with NmapDev or ICMP or both to see if you get different results, but if the device doesn't respond to e. G Ping requests of the ICMP plugin, then NetAlertX will mark it as disconnected. You could potentially use the down notification instead, which supports a custom delay. Check the mark down after setting.

Let me know your findings,
Thanks,
J
