Pi.Alert
Older downloadable versions and complete release notes.
Releases
Pi.Alert (2026-05-07)
Released: 2026-05-07
New:
Support for AdGuard Home (#516 ). Detecting active hosts using only AdGuard Home is difficult, as AdGuard Home provides very little information about the hosts it manages via the API. Pi.Alert attempts to detect active hosts itself based on the most recent DNS queries (default = 1000). Hosts that do not make regular DNS requests are therefore quickly identified as inactive, so this detection method is somewhat less accurate.
Support for Opnsense (#542)
Prepare AdGuard Home and OPNsense support for Pi.Alert-Satellite
Fixed:
Security Advisory (https://github.com/leiweibau/Pi.Alert/security/advisories/GHSA-m929-j7w8-334j) (thx to @JarrodCameron)

Security Advisory (https://github.com/leiweibau/Pi.Alert/security/advisories/GHSA-xg85-f8qw-7c5f) (thx to @aslein1413-sys)
Import toggle switches in settings
Tools screen in a device shows the wrong language text on buttons (#604)
Updated:
Import Alias Name from Unifi (#496). If the alias is not set, the hostname is used.
Another attempt to make WAN IP detection more robust. After three failed attempts, a fallback server is used. After three more attempts, the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. This is intended to catch the occasional exceptions I've noticed during remote testing.
Documentation
Fix/Workaround regarding to missing tables in the tools database (#600)
Initial db
Language files
Maintenance
Changed:
During a new installation, a random password is generated and displayed at the end, and the login is activated
For security reasons, it is no longer possible to change the installation directory path via the WebGUI. Although the option to edit these settings appears to be available, any changes made to the PIALERT_PATH, DB_PATH, and LOG_PATH entries will be ignored.
Hide the "GUI Settings" download button if no settings file is available (#603)
Improvements in handling passwords that contain special characters
Note:
I used the coding agent Codex when implementing AdGuard and OPNsense. I also used it to secure passwords with special characters and to enhance the documentation.

Pi.Alert (2026-03-16)
Released: 2026-03-16
Fixed:
Fix for missing device details (#587). Manually cleaning up backups via the "Maintenance" tab on the settings page has resulted in the accidental deletion of the outsourced database pialert_tools.db. Every version since v2025-12-14 is affected by this behavior. (thx to @TheCableGuy99 for pointing out the source of the error and also @myssv for reporting via mail)

Pi.Alert (2026-02-28)
Released: 2026-02-28
New:
A table has been added above the services that shows changes to the services in a journal style. This is intended to improve the overview.
Specific information per device via MQTT (Devices and ICMP Monitoring). If a device that also provides its status via MQTT is to be deleted, MQTT should be deactivated for this device beforehand. Once the device is no longer available via MQTT, it can be deleted. The reason for this is that the device must be actively deactivated, otherwise the last status via MQTT will remain even after deletion. A cleanup can only be performed for "known" devices.
Fixed:
Correction of the update command displayed on the UpdateCheck page (#584)
Placeholder text

Language files
Documentation
The static pages for reboot and shutdown have been revised
Changed:
Reboot and shutdown is now performed by the backend. This has the advantage that ongoing scans can be finished. (#517, #540)
Ookla's Speedtest client can no longer be used for manual speed tests. However, it is still required for automatic speedtests. (#517, #540)
The results of the alternative speed test (Speedtest-cli) are now also stored in the database. In addition, “Speedtest-cli” has been renamed “Speedtest.” (#517, #540)
Outsourcing of various database transactions. The results of the speed test are now written to a separate database that is explicitly available for data outside of device management. Manual nmap scans are also written to this database. (#545)
New installer. In order to meet the growing security requirements of the software used, the new installer installs Pi.Alert in the "/opt/pialert" directory. The old installer will remain available for the time being as "pialert_install_old.sh". (#517, #540)
Adjustment of sudoer files to allow restarts and shutdowns via the backend (#517, #540)
The user crons on the System Info page are no longer queried during page rendering, but are created as a log file during the scan (#517, #540)
Removed:
Some options from pialert-cli (#517, #540)
Step-by-step installation document removed (unnecessarily high maintenance requirements)
Note:
Special thanks to @Andykr76, @myssv, @gsarris and @lastsamurai26 for their support with logs, time for testing, and patience (#517, #540).

Pi.Alert (2025-06-12)
Released: 2025-06-12
New:
Add hostname based ignore list. It is important to note that the NetBIOS host name and the DNS name may differ. Which name Pi.Alert uses for identification depends on the respective responses of the host. In the event that a device is only recognized by an arp-scan, this device is added to the database as a new device for a short period of time during the scan. As soon as the hostname resolution is complete, the device list is searched again for matches in the ignore list. If there is a match here, the device is removed from the database again. No notification is sent for this device.(#487)

If a satellite has not reported a new status for more than 10 minutes, its uptime is marked red in the system overview, otherwise it is green
The layout of the reports has been changed so that from a certain window width, 2 reports are now displayed next to each other in order to make better use of the space on the screen.

Support for AdGuard Home (#516 ). Detecting active hosts using only AdGuard Home is difficult, as AdGuard Home provides very little information about the hosts it manages via the API. Pi.Alert attempts to detect active hosts itself based on the most recent DNS queries (default = 1000). Hosts that do not make regular DNS requests are therefore quickly identified as inactive, so this detection method is somewhat less accurate.
Support for Opnsense (#542)

Fix/Workaround regarding to missing tables in the tools database (#600)
Initial db
Language files
Maintenance
Changed:
During a new installation, a random password is generated and displayed at the end, and the login is activated
For security reasons, it is no longer possible to change the installation directory path via the WebGUI. Although the option to edit these settings appears to be available, any changes made to the PIALERT_PATH, DB_PATH, and LOG_PATH entries will be ignored.
Hide the "GUI Settings" download button if no settings file is available (#603)
Improvements in handling passwords that contain special characters
Note:
I used the coding agent Codex when implementing AdGuard and OPNsense. I also used it to secure passwords with special characters and to enhance the documentation.

2026-03-16 - Released: 2026-03-16Fixed:
Fix for missing device details (#587). Manually cleaning up backups via the "Maintenance" tab on the settings page has resulted in the accidental deletion of the outsourced database pialert_tools.db. Every version since v2025-12-14 is affected by this behavior. (thx to @TheCableGuy99 for pointing out the source of the error and also @myssv for reporting via mail)
2026-02-28 - Released: 2026-02-28New:
A table has been added above the services that shows changes to the services in a journal style. This is intended to improve the overview.
Specific information per device via MQTT (Devices and ICMP Monitoring). If a device that also provides its status via MQTT is to be deleted, MQTT should be deactivated for this device beforehand. Once the device is no longer available via MQTT, it can be deleted. The reason for this is that the device must be actively deactivated, otherwise the last status via MQTT will remain even after deletion. A cleanup can only be performed for "known" devices.
Fixed:
Correction of the update command displayed on the UpdateCheck page (#584)

Update Notification (#581)
"Internet" device activated for satellites. Although satellites have previously performed their own internet tests, the data from these tests was not processed in Pi.Alert. Now, additional "Internet" devices are supported. The satellite attaches its token ID to the device to allow assignment (#569)
Fixed:
German language (thx @lastsamurai26)
Updated:
Documentation
Changed:

Add sudo to the update message (#558) (thx to @lastsamurai26)
Handling of Pi.Alerts own interface (#570)
Note:
If the dashboard remains open in an inactive tab for a long time, a DataTable error message may appear. This is because the dashboard wants to update regularly, but encounters errors due to "inactivity." So far, I have not been able to eliminate this behavior.

The static pages for reboot and shutdown have been revised
Changed:
Reboot and shutdown is now performed by the backend. This has the advantage that ongoing scans can be finished. (#517, #540)
Ookla's Speedtest client can no longer be used for manual speed tests. However, it is still required for automatic speedtests. (#517, #540)
The results of the alternative speed test (Speedtest-cli) are now also stored in the database. In addition, “Speedtest-cli” has been renamed “Speedtest.” (#517, #540)
Outsourcing of various database transactions. The results of the speed test are now written to a separate database that is explicitly available for data outside of device management. Manual nmap scans are also written to this database. (#545)
New installer. In order to meet the growing security requirements of the software used, the new installer installs Pi.Alert in the "/opt/pialert" directory. The old installer will remain available for the time being as "pialert_install_old.sh". (#517, #540)
Adjustment of sudoer files to allow restarts and shutdowns via the backend (#517, #540)
The user crons on the System Info page are no longer queried during page rendering, but are created as a log file during the scan (#517, #540)
Removed:
Some options from pialert-cli (#517, #540)
Step-by-step installation document removed (unnecessarily high maintenance requirements)
Note:
Special thanks to @Andykr76, @myssv, @gsarris and @lastsamurai26 for their support with logs, time for testing, and patience (#517, #540).

Disable PHP messages in web server logs
The PHP memory limit for events.php (backend for the web interface) has been increased to 512 MB. (#527)
Note:
A custom bash script for copying the devices, events, and sessions tables from an older database to a new database. Time overlaps between the databases were not within the scope of the script's creation. (#537)
2025-10-31 - Released: 2025-10-31New:
pfSense Import (#522). During import, the hosts that pfSense lists as "active" and "online" are imported from the DCHP server. In addition, the ARP table is imported from pfSense and all hosts whose validation has been refreshed in the last approx. 10 minutes are marked as "online" in Pi.Alert.

Note:
Add debug information
This update is only an interim update to improve support for Debian 13. The pfSense integration already integrated in the frontend has not yet been implemented in the backend.
2025-07-30 - Released: 2025-07-30New:
Send general status via MQTT. With the switch from Home Assistant Docker to Home Assistant OS, it became apparent that integrating Pi.Alert as a sensor is not as easy as desired, as Home Assistant OS has different requirements. For this reason, I integrated MQTT. So far, however, only the general status.

2025-06-12 - Released: 2025-06-12New:
Add hostname based ignore list. It is important to note that the NetBIOS host name and the DNS name may differ. Which name Pi.Alert uses for identification depends on the respective responses of the host. In the event that a device is only recognized by an arp-scan, this device is added to the database as a new device for a short period of time during the scan. As soon as the hostname resolution is complete, the device list is searched again for matches in the ignore list. If there is a match here, the device is removed from the database again. No notification is sent for this device.(#487)

I would like to use this update note as an opportunity to thank you for the many constructive messages, suggestions for improvement and bug reports that have brought the project to where it is now. My special thanks go first and foremost to the sponsors for supporting my work. Almost as important for my motivation are the more than 300 stars that my project has already received. Nevertheless, I am also happy about every feedback that helps to make the project better, even if I can't or don't want to implement every idea. In the end, all I want to say is: THANK YOU

Instead of a hard-coded time at which the update check took place, a variable has now been introduced that can be used to configure the time in the crontab syntax. The shortest interval is 3 minutes. All larger intervals must be integer multiples of 3 minutes (15, 30, 36, etc).
Removed:
Older config-file updates from update script
Note:
Since some "settings files" are now used in a different directory, I tried to move the existing files to the new directory in the update script. The "setting_*" files from the "pialert/db/" directory are moved to the "pialert/config/" directory

The counter of the currently active scans in the status box (settings page) has been replaced by a simple display (Scans running / No Scans running). Depending on the Linux distribution, the counter varied by +/- 1. The original reason for the introduction of the counter was a ramping up of arp-scan processes, which has not been a problem for many Pi.Alert versions.
Update Check: Check for a special installation directory to avoid issues like #283 or #281
Nmap scan infos moved to faq/help page

Cleanup
pialert-cli set_sudoers
Changed:
Detailed nmap scan: The operating system detection has been deactivated. Instead, some UPD ports have been added for scanning and the size of the TCP port ranges has been increased. To be able to scan UDP ports, nmap was added to the sudoer file of the frontend.
2024-02-07 - Released: 2024-02-07New:
A new optional column added to the device list. It is now possible to execute the WakeLonLAN command from the device list. The column required for this can be activated in the settings. No WoL buttons for devices where it probably makes no sense (Smartphone, Router, Switches, Tablets)
For smaller resolutions (Smartphones), a "sticky" back button has been added at the bottom of the screen on the details pages.
Automatic update check three times a day. A configuration of the number and timing is not yet planned at this point. The notification of an update is initially only implemented in the frontend. Notifications via email or the configurable push services may follow later.

An error handling has been implemented in case github.com is not reachable during the update check or the Github API rate limit has been reached.
Pagination CSS in darkmode
Updated:
Documentation
Language files
Speedtest page: The times at which a speed test is performed are displayed below the diagram.
Journal function
Changed:
Set db file permissions before each scan. The code extension requires that the user under which Pi.Alert was installed has executed the command "$HOME/pialert/back/pialert-cli set_sudoers". This is normally done during the update or installation. (#250)
Minor log file changes
2024-02-01 - Released: 2024-02-01New:
If several Mac addresses with the same beginning are to be filtered out, it is no longer necessary to enter all the individual addresses. The addresses aa:bb:cc:12:34:56, aa:bb:c0:22:24:26 and aa:bb:ce:a2:a3:a4 can now be filtered out with the entry 'aa:bb:c'.

Changed:

Note:
BREAKING CHANGES: A new entry called "NETWORK_DNS_SERVER" has been added to the configuration file. If the currently valid DNS server is not entered here, "localhost" is assumed as the DNS server for determining the host names. This can lead to errors, which I have tried to catch as well as possible.
2024-01-21 - Released: 2024-01-21New:
Show user cron on system info page
Fixed:
If the browser window/tab is not active, it is possible that the server time, which is calculated by a JavaScript, runs out of synchronization. For this reason, the server time is now queried again every 60 seconds.
If the browser window/tab is not active, it is possible that the scan countdown, which is calculated by a JavaScript, runs out of synchronization. For this reason, the calculation resets after every 15 seconds.

Now it is possible to manually configure ports when configuring a switch on the network page.

Layout on maintenance page
Network page. The mode of operation has not changed. However, with the new update, the first two characters are missing in the display of the "Device Type". This can be corrected by editing the device and selecting the same type (router, switch, ...) again. The background is that I insert numbers at the beginning to be able in the representation of the tabs the devices by type. Previously, the devices were "sorted" according to the order of creation. Now by Router, Switch, WLAN and Powerline
Note:
Network page: But you can't map one client or router to multiple nodes. An example to explain. You can assign a router to several switches. However, you can assign only one switch to the router. In the Router tab you can see the connected switches. But you can only see the router on one switch tab.
