Hello, as a new user i probably use the wrong search options.  
Tried: node, host, ip node, network node

Is there a device that enables me to monitor LAN devices based on network name or ip address. I want to see if it is online/offline. Examples are: (old) printer, telephone, computer  
Couldn’t find a SNMP option either. Read SNMP data from a node.

A pointer to documentation will be ok too.

If you happen to have a Netgear router, that app would do it. [Netgear Router App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.netgear)

Thanks @Adrian_Rockall  
That seems to do what i requested. Have to spent some time looking into all the homey apps.  
Will have to wait for Homey controller device to test it.
