Is there an existing issue for this?

Am I willing to test this? 🧪

• I will do my best to test this feature on the netlertx-dev image when requested within 48h and report bugs to help deliver a great user experience for everyone and not to break existing installations.

Can I help implement this? 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I have an automation in home assistant to notify if any changes to my network, such as if a new device joins the network etc.
In the automation, i would like to include info such as IP, vendor, MAC address at a minimum. currently these are spread between multiple entities.

Describe the solution you'd like

copy the same info from these other entities and include them as attributes for the device_tracker "device_tracker.DEVICE_is_present"

Describe alternatives you've considered

it's honestly not necessary. One can build a more complex automation to hunt and parse this info. I think it's just a matter of optimisation to make the entities more user friendly.

Anything else?

i should raise a different bug issue for this but can you remove the underscores for these entity names?

This should be available in the next release. Please have a look at the netalertx-dev docker image, 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.

It would be great if you could test this (backup everything first or use a new container) on your end by switching to the above image and letting me know if the issue was resolved/the new feature is working.

Thanks in advance,
j

Entity names are used in multiple places (e.g. in the topic) so I won't remove underscores unless really necessary. I don't want to introduce unnecessary complexity into the code if it can be avoided.
