Get visibility of what’s going on on your WIFI/LAN network. Schedule scans for devices, port changes and get alerts if unknown devices or changes are found. Write your own Plugins with auto-generated UI and in-build notification system. Build out and easily maintain your network source of truth (NSoT).
Why use NetAlertx?
Most of us don’t know what’s going on on our home network, but we want our family and data to be safe. Command-line tools are great, but the output can be hard to understand and action if you are not a network specialist.
Net Alertx gives you peace of mind. Visualize and immediately report 📬 what is going on in your network – this is the first step to enhance your network security 🔐.
Net Alertx combines several network and other scanning tools 🔍 with notifications 📧 into one user-friendly package 📦.
Set up a kill switch ☠ for your network via a smart plug with the available Home Assistant integration. Implement custom automations with the CSV device Exports 📤, Webhooks, or API endpoints features.
Extend the app if you want to create your own scanner Plugin and handle the results and notifications in Net Alertx.
