#### A retro green radar that finds the IoT devices on your network

IoT Radar by Team of Monkeys .com sweeps your local network and plots every device it finds on a green phosphor radar scope, straight out of the 1990s. Then it tells you what each contact actually is.

* Smart speakers, TVs and streamers, cameras and doorbells, smart plugs and lights, thermostats, hubs, printers, NAS boxes, game consoles, Raspberry Pis, ESP32 boards, phones and computers: 19 device types in all
* Identifies devices from several clues: MAC address vendor (IEEE registry), mDNS / Bonjour (Chromecast, AirPlay, HomeKit, Matter, ESPHome...), SSDP / UPnP descriptions, open ports and web page titles
* A confidence score for every guess
* Click a blip or a list entry to see the model, vendor, IP and MAC address, open ports and services
* IoT only: hide phones and computers with one click
* Search by name, type, vendor or IP, auto-rescan every minute, and export the contact list to CSV

Distance from the centre of the scope is how quickly a device answered on the network: closer blips answered faster.

No root access required. No telemetry and no accounts: nothing leaves your local network.

**Show MAC addresses and vendors:** IoT Radar reads your computer's ARP table for these. Allow it once with:

```
sudo snap connect iot-radar-monkeys:network-observe
```

Without it, IoT Radar still finds devices by probing, mDNS and SSDP.

Only scan networks you own or have permission to scan.
