MQTT Attributes - add additional fields

[weissbre]

How can additional data be added to the device_tracker attributes for each device in netalertx? As an example, I would like to have the Network Node included for filtering purposes in home assistant.

Hi,

Could you please let me know which attributes you would like to add? I assume that you are after the devSyncHubNode. Maybe a screenshot could help. I can then add these in code.

I created a test build with the Sync node in the attributes:

This should be available in the next release. It would be great if you could test this. Can you please switch to the netalertx-dev docker image (backup everything at first or, ideally spin up a separate container with a separate db and config), in about 15 minutes (or after the last action finishes) from now?

👉If I don't get a confirmation that this is working I might pull out the feature to prevent bugs.

Make sure you refresh your browser cache - and click the 🔄 refresh button in the top right corner.

Thanks in advance,

FYI no force an update of existing devices follow this guide: https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/_publisher_mqtt/#forcing-an-update

I appreciate the speedy response! I'm actually running this as an add-on in Home Assistant and I am not sure how to switch to the dev version (I am fairly new to NetAlertX but loving it!)? I was imagining what is described in the UI as the Network Node. I am wanting to group by access point to better filter devices but I could imagine a desire to use other criteria (location, ssid, etc.)

I have successfully been able to pull the table_devices.json file and parse from there so my need is not urgent, just seemed useful and perhaps cleaner to be able to add additional fields in the MQTT sync process.

This will be available in the next release
