Pi.Alert is a self-hosted WIFI/LAN intruder detector that scans the local network for connected devices using arp-scan, Pi-hole, and dnsmasq, and alerts on unknown devices, disconnections, and IP changes. It includes a backend scanner with email reporting and a web frontend for managing a device inventory and viewing sessions, events, and presence.

Use cases

  • detect unknown devices joining my wifi network
  • get alerted when a device disconnects from my lan
  • monitor always-connected devices going offline
  • track ip address changes on my home network
  • keep an inventory of all devices connected to my network
  • integrate network scanning with pi-hole and dnsmasq
  • run an intrusion detection system on a raspberry pi

When to choose

  • you run a home or small-office network and want self-hosted device monitoring
  • you already use Pi-hole or dnsmasq and want complementary network visibility
  • you want email alerts for new or disconnected devices on a Raspberry Pi or Linux box

When to avoid

  • you need enterprise-grade IDS with deep packet inspection or signature detection
  • you need a cloud-managed or multi-site network monitoring solution
  • your environment is not Linux or lacks access to arp-scan/Pi-hole/dnsmasq data
