This device tracker provides a number of additional attributes for each tracked device (if it is at home): flags, ip, device, and host. The first three attributes are taken from the ARP table returned by the luci RPC. The host attribute is taken from the platform configuration and can be used to distinguish in which router a device is logged in, if you are using multiple OpenWrt routers.
