FINGSCAN - download program

Hi Karl,

Most of the other errors are gone - still having this one left:
fingscan Error ''F0:9F:C2:10:EC:C7''
getfingData @line 3174: 'if self.fingStatus[kk] == "up" and self.allDeviceInfo[theMAC][u"status"] != u"up":'

Please let me know when a new version can be pushed, hopefully capturing this error.

Appreciate all your work on this!

Thank you,
Daniel

I don't have that file in the plugin download. I downloaded the latest version from Fing but I'm getting these errors. Latest version of everything. macOS 2022.1.1 and fingscan .33.74

Any ideas? I deleted the log and data file but no dice. I did forget to add my "Mac Password" the first time I started fingscan but have since entered it

I am having the exact same issue. My theory is that I changed my Mac's password and somehow fing is keeping my old password. I have tried overwriting in "Configure" Your MAC password, but it doesn't work. I also tried deleting most of fing preferences in the Perceptive Automation folder and it did not work either. After 10 or 12 attempts, the error persists and the event log still shows my old password. I believe anyone changing their computer password will run into this issue.

Reverting my Mac to its old password works, however I need to change it to keep it in sync with my other devices.

Thanks in advance for looking into this (no rush!).

I think this is what happened to me... sort of. I overlooked the password the very first time the config dialog box opened... now it doesn't appear to save the changes when I do enter it.

Added features / changes in v2022.34.75 @ 2022-06-27
===================================================

1. changed password storage, was stored in mac keychain. that apparently does not work anymore.
now stored in preferences file
the plugin will convert to preference stored password automatically.
2. will require indigo 2022, py3


Karl

Added features / changes in v2022.34.80-81 @ 2022-08-11
===================================================

1. fixed wake onlan decode() not ... error. was left over from py2 --> py3
2. moved network detection to front, in case config is started immediately, some variables are not initialized

Karl

Added features / changes in v2022.36.86 @ 2022-09-03
===================================================

1. some bug fixes
2. removed nickname info as this is not consistent and creates more confusion that it adds value
3. new devices are now called FING_mac# instead of MAC_mac#. This makes new devices names more unique. There might be other dev names with MAC_...
you can rename them later as you see fit.



Added features / changes in v2022.36.85 @ 2022-08-31
===================================================

1. removed dead code (findmy , pibeacon, unifi interfaces)
2. fixed restore devices
3. fixed one py2->py3 i/o issue (in network scan, write to log)
4. streamlined menu structure
5. fixed lookup of vendor
6. status-date stamp is fixed at startup if datestamp is empty.
previously it was changed once device changes state up->down ..
now also initial datestamp is not 0 but proper datestamp
7. reload / restart of plugin is now configurable in config to be [disabled, start at 0:19, 1:19, 2:19]

Karl

Added features / changes in v2022.36.87 @ 2022-09-12
===================================================

1. bug fix: dev states for email after new device event where not populated in time
hence ip# and hardware info where not available in time. after some seconds they were populated
this was introduced with the last update
2. added menu option to reload vendor info

Karl

Code: Select all

Added features / changes in v2022.36.90 @ 2022-09-20
===================================================

fixed:  'Plugin' object has no attribute 'M2V'
  this happens when vendor loockup is disabled
  variables are now properly initialized


Code: Select all

Added features / changes in v2022.37.90 @ 2022-09-20
===================================================
name of newly created devices are now:
  MAC-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-Vendor info
like:
  MAC-5C:87:xx:0A:xx:xx-Apple


Naturally after creation you can change the name to anything you like

Karl

Added features / changes in v2022.37.91 @ 2022-09-24
===================================================

statusDisplay date stamp was changed during reload of the plugin ( e.g. during auto reload at 1pm, can be switch off in config )
that is fixed now: no device state updated until 100 secs into the plugin running.
this was due to data loaded from differnt sources during startup.
after everything is loaded the internal data is correct.


Karl

Added features / changes in v2022.37.93 @ 2023-05-08
===================================================
added start fing debug option in config

added features / changes in v2022.37.95 @ 2023-05-08
===================================================
new fing app included in zip file: Fing-5.5.2-osX.pkg

added features / changes in v2022.40.97 @ 2024-04-06
===================================================
To track devices outside the current subnet that is not reachable from FNG directly and hence the plugin can not listen to that network traffic

== added option in device edit to overwrite IP# or create a new non FING controlled device
- use this to edit an old expired device or create a new device and enable "use ping only" to track devices outside the local subnet
- set expiration times for up-> down and down-> expired
This then can eg be used to track internet up/down or another device in a different subnet, or any web page you like eg. weather.com

To track internet up/down status:
1. select 2/3 websites, create a FING device for each with "use ping only" (will not use any fing capabilities) and use the ip numbers of the webpages, define a valid random MAC number that is not used in the plugin (the MAC number is THE key in the plugin used to track everything, hence it must be unique and valid)
2. create a FING event with these 2/3 devices as members
--> internet is up if at least one member is up/home
--> internet is down if all members are down/ away
you can trigger on these 2 states of the event.
