Device Tracking

Monitor and track device presence over time

Device Tracking

PwnPower tracks every device it sees, building a database of presence patterns and behaviors.

Device List

The device list shows all tracked devices with key information:

  • MAC Address - Unique identifier (with vendor lookup)
  • Trust Score - Automatically calculated reputation
  • Status - Present/Away based on last 5 minutes
  • Sightings - Total number of times seen
  • Last Seen - When the device was last detected

Device Actions

Click any device to access these options:

ActionDescription
Mark as HomeFlag as a home device for presence alerts
TrackEnable tracking to prevent eviction and get alerts
View DetailsSee full history including associated APs

Automatic Tracking

Devices with trust scores above 50 are automatically tracked. This means:

  • They won’t be evicted when the 64-device limit is reached
  • They’re eligible for webhook alerts
  • Their full history is preserved

Device Details

Expanding a device shows:

  • Vendor name (from OUI lookup)
  • First seen timestamp
  • Total sighting count
  • Days tracked
  • Last associated AP/SSID
  • 24-hour presence heatmap
  • List of all APs this device has connected to

Smart Eviction

When the 64-device database limit is reached, PwnPower evicts the lowest-priority device. Priority is calculated from:

  • Recency of last sighting
  • Total sighting count
  • Home device status (protected)
  • Tracked status (never evicted)

Tip: Mark important devices as “tracked” to ensure they’re never automatically removed.
