Edit: I mean, talk about flexibility, your code allows me to know my mailman's phone's MAC address. That's just impressive!
How do you get the MAC address of phones that don't attach to your wifi?

That doesn't seem possible to get the MAC address of any device not connected to your network. I mean, just the basic network layer would require it because the MAC address has to broadcast on a network, so unless you have have an open Wifi in your house and someone is auto connecting to open Wifi's then that should be technically impossible.

If the mail carrier's WiFi is turned on and is constantly searching for broadcasting SSIDs, it is possible that interaction exposes the MAC address. I haven't looked into that process, but it wouldn't be unthinkable that in the probing of the SSID the address is exposed and the Unifi equipment logging it.
