Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

device-monitor

Device monitor is a node-red plugin that pings all devices on your local network and then checks arp table to check whether the device is still connected to the network. Ping result will be used to check whether device is active, arp result whether device is connected.

Installation

Run the following command in your .node-red/ directory:

npm install node-red-contrib-device-monitor

Setup node

intervalSeconds

Set the intervalSeconds value to an integer > 0. It is the time between iterations. Note that shortest interval is the duration it takes to check device status. Actual interval is: maximum(intervalSeconds, scriptDuration);

devices

Devices are defined as an array. Each element consists of a name and macAddress property. E.g.:

[
  {
    "name": "name of device",
    "macAddress": "00:11:22:33:44:55"
  }
]

Response

Every {intervalSeconds} seconds an event is emitted with the following payload:

{
  name: string, // matches input name
  mac: string, // matches input mac
  ip?: string, // ip address if device was found
  active: boolean, // indicator whether device was pingable
  connected: boolean, // indicator whether device was found in arp table
  notActiveCount: number, // counter how many times device was not pingable, (resets when pingable)
  notConnectedCount: number, // counter how many times device was not in arp table, (resets when found)
