# IoT IP Beacon
|
||
|
|
||
|
Simple daemon that helps you find your lost IoT device on the open sea of IP addresses.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## How it works?
|
||
|
|
||
|
This simple daemon broadcast some basic system information every 10 seconds to the local subnet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These information are the following:
|
||
|
- Configured IP address of the sending interface
|
||
|
- Hostname
|
||
|
- Birbox software version
|
||
|
- Uptime
|
||
|
|
||
|
The messages is formed as the following UTF-8 encoded string:
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
BIRBOX|{ipaddr}|{hostname}|{version}|{uptime}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The messages are broadcast to the 6969 UDP port.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All you need is to listen to such packets on the network, so you can find your lost IoT device in no time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
Just start the script as a system daemon. You may have to change the interface name.
