Who Is Online? (or WIO in short) has finally arrived on IPFire (as of core 113). It was ported by the original author Stephan Feddersen and Alex Marx and is available as a usual add-on package called wio.
It is a builtin monitoring service for the local network showing what devices are connected, which ones are online and can also send alarms on various events.
Installation
WIO can be install over Pakfire or via Console:
pakfire install wio
Configuration
Go to the IPFire menu Status > Who is Online? to start the configuration.
