v1.2.0 - Switch-mode device discovery
Exaviz PoE Management v1.2.0
First release since v1.1.4. Adds switch/bridge-mode device discovery, a
diagnostics hint for ports on another subnet, and completes the move to a
pure MIT license.
New features
- Switch-mode PoE device discovery (#10, opt-in). When a Cruiser is run
as a flat-L2 switch (all ports bridged onto one router-DHCP subnet), the
integration can now resolve the device attached to each PoE port. It reads
the bridge forwarding database (FDB) to map each port to a MAC, then runs an
arp-scanof the bridge subnet to attach an IP. Off by default; enable it
per integration under Configure -> Switch-mode device discovery.
Note: when enabled it performs an activearp-scanon the bridge subnet.
Improvements
- Traffic-but-no-ARP hint (#1). When a PoE port shows traffic but the
device has no ARP entry (typically because it sits on a different subnet
than Home Assistant, e.g. in switch/bridge mode), the UI now surfaces a
hint instead of appearing to find nothing.
Licensing
- Relicensed to pure MIT. The Commons Clause rider has been dropped from
every file, restoring standard MIT terms. This also clears the HACS/HA brands
validation that the rider was blocking.
Housekeeping
- Documentation correction for the
sudo-rswildcard note in the switch-mode
discovery setup (#12). - Routine dependency bumps for the Lovelace card build toolchain.
Upgrading via HACS
Open HACS -> Integrations -> Exaviz PoE Management -> Update, then restart
Home Assistant. Switch-mode discovery stays off until you enable it under
the integration's Configure options.
