# Home assistant add-on: NetAlertX Full Access


I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## About

[NetAlertX](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX) is a WIFI / LAN scanner, intruder, and presence detector that helps you monitor your network for new devices and potential security threats.

**This is the Full Access version** that provides additional privileges and network access capabilities compared to the standard NetAlertX addon.

Key features:
- Network device discovery and monitoring
- Presence detection for known devices
- Intrusion detection for unknown devices
- Web-based dashboard for network visualization
- MQTT integration for Home Assistant
- Network scanning with enhanced privileges

## Configuration

Webui can be found at `<your-ip>:20211` or through the sidebar using Ingress.

### Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `TZ` | str | `Europe/Berlin` | Timezone (e.g., `Europe/London`) |
| `APP_CONF_OVERRIDE` | str | | Additional app configuration overrides |

### Example Configuration

```yaml
TZ: "Europe/London"
APP_CONF_OVERRIDE: "SCAN_SUBNETS=['192.168.1.0/24']"
```

### MQTT Integration

This addon supports MQTT integration and will automatically connect to your Home Assistant MQTT broker if available. NetAlertX can publish device presence information to MQTT topics for integration with Home Assistant automations.

### Custom Scripts and Environment Variables

This addon supports custom scripts and environment variables through the `addon_config` mapping:

- **Custom scripts**: See [Running Custom Scripts in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Running-custom-scripts-in-Addons)
- **env_vars option**: Use the add-on `env_vars` option to pass extra environment variables (uppercase or lowercase names). See https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add-Environment-variables-to-your-Addon-2 for details.

## Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in
comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA)
   [![Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/supervisor_add_addon_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falexbelgium%2Fhassio-addons)
1. Install this add-on.
1. Click the `Save` button to store your configuration.
1. Start the add-on.
1. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
1. Open the webUI to configure your network scanning preferences.

## Full Access vs Standard Version

This **Full Access** version provides:
- `full_access: true` - Complete system access
- `host_network: true` - Direct host network access
- Enhanced privileges (`SYS_ADMIN`, `NET_ADMIN`, `NET_RAW`)
- `udev: true` - Hardware device access

Use this version if you need enhanced network scanning capabilities or if the standard NetAlertX addon doesn't provide sufficient network access for your setup.
