Hey Patrike, I appreciate you adding the ability to auto-add miners and perform a perpetual scan... Some things I've noticed, it appears as though it doesn't work properly? It's arranged under adding a new miner and you have to add criteria for miners you add? It feels as though this should be it's only function unrelated to manually adding a miner and maybe add custom criteria to incrementally change miners added, then permanently adjust them if they're ever changed via MAC address (so AM always knows which is which).

Also, while this has some technology overlap, when using MAC address identification please have the software set the IP address and remembered settings of the miner when it shows up again. Such as if the software or firmware changes. I understand you could use static addresses on your router, or with a active directory, however this combines the functionality all in one place and ties it specifically to AM. Makes overall management easier.

Using the autoscan and add function, you could also immediately assign a new miner to a IP range specifically for miners and have them statically present. Routers are not smart enough to understand what devices are being added to the network.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is your question about "Run rule after adding miner"? That one is optional to use and only required if you want to run actions of a rule - for example to send a notification once new miners are added. It doesn't affect how new miners are identified and it doesn't affect the MAC/IP mappings.

Please note that "MAC address identification for network discovery" setting is only used in combination with Automatic Network Discovery, where Awesome Miner scans the network for new miners in the background. When enabled, all External Miners within the specified IP address range will automatically be updated in case of and IP address change. If the IP address of a miner changes, the External Miner object will be updated with the new IP address. This way Awesome Miner will automatically handle IP address changes for your miners - as longs as the MAC address remains the same.
