Clear Device List

Issue #1183 new
Dan created an issue

The device list can become saturated with inaccurate IP addresses for devices, usually having the same device listed under multiple IP addresses. There are two potential ways to resolve this.

  1. One would be to store the MAC address along with the IP address, and when a new IP address is discovered with the same MAC address simply update the IP address of the device already listed. If no matching MAC address is found in the DB, then add it as a new device.
  2. I would also suggest a way to clear devices contained in the Status list faster than clicking each one to edit, then delete. I suggest adding a checkbox to each row, and clicking a Delete button will remove every checked device. Add a button that checks/unchecks all to allow a complete device purge, which would then populate the device list with only the newly detected devices.

I realize this is likely too much to quickly throw into version 2.3. But if you could add it for the next update, that would be great.

    Petr, you tagged this as assigned to 2.4, but I don’t see it in the beta. Did it not make it into that build?
