Most home and office networks quietly accumulate dozens of devices nobody can name, and LAN Orangutan answers the basic questions about all of them: what is connected, what changed since yesterday, and what should not be there at all. It scans one or several networks with nmap and merges in the host ARP table, resolving MAC addresses, manufacturers, hostnames, and device types so a phone, printer, TV, and server each show up as themselves rather than as bare IP addresses. You label devices, file them into your own groups and locations, and attach notes that survive every rescan, turning a one-off scan into a maintained inventory. Snapshots freeze the network at a moment in time, and comparing two of them shows exactly which devices appeared, vanished, or moved to a new address. Mark the devices you expect, and the dashboard flags newcomers and missing hardware, with webhook notifications to Telegram, Discord, Slack, ntfy, or Home Assistant when something changes. Tailscale peers appear next to local devices, so the laptop on your tailnet and the printer downstairs live in the same list. Risky exposures such as Telnet or FTP get flagged, scans show live progress you can cancel, and a password you create on first open guards the whole dashboard.

NetMap answers the four questions every homelab owner asks in four different tools: what is on my network, what address did it get, is it still up, and why is the firewall shouting about it. Devices you add appear automatically on a visual canvas where you can drag them into place, draw the links between them, and group them into VLANs or separate sites, and the layout is still there when you come back. Behind the map, every device is watched continuously: ping times graphed over history, service checks on the ports you care about, a heartbeat strip that betrays intermittent dropouts, and an uptime percentage that settles arguments. Address management stops being a spreadsheet: define subnets, import the leases your router already handed out, see used and free addresses as a grid, and get warned before a duplicate assignment causes a mysterious outage. Firewall logs stream in live and each entry links to the device it concerns, ready to search by address, port, or protocol. When something new appears, a network scan discovers hosts with their names, hardware addresses, and open ports for review before they join the inventory.

HomeLabInfo gives your homelab one dashboard where the network itself and everything running on it finally appear together, instead of scattered across router pages and terminal sessions. It watches for new devices the instant they ask the network for an address, identifies who made them, and can fire a webhook so you hear about a stranger joining your LAN before you notice it yourself. Scans keep track of which devices are online and which have gone quiet, and the interactive topology view lets you arrange the map of switches, access points, NAS boxes, and servers the way your rack actually looks. Lightweight agents installed on each machine report their containers back to the hub, so running and stopped containers, uptime, health, and host CPU, memory, and disk all show in one place without opening a separate tool per server. When an agent falls behind, its card tells you a newer version exists instead of leaving you guessing. You can add a username and password login before putting the dashboard anywhere beyond your desk, and arrange container layouts that stay put between visits.

Mapping every physical server, virtual machine, container, and network link across a sprawling homelab into a live interactive canvas, Circuit Breaker gives infrastructure operators real-time topology visualization, IP address management, and rack elevation modeling on a single screen. Operators can switch between hierarchical, concentric, cortex ring, radial, and force-directed graph layouts where animated edges reflect link speeds and color-coded status rings display live hardware health. Automated discovery scans local subnets using nmap, SNMP, and ARP while querying Proxmox VE clusters, TrueNAS storage pools, and UniFi controllers, staging newly detected nodes in a review queue before adding them to the map. For multi-site labs or isolated VLANs, lightweight remote agents connect outbound over Noise-encrypted links after fingerprint approval to report host telemetry and run scoped network scans without opening inbound firewall ports. Rack diagrams let administrators drag servers into U slots with cabling overlays using a built-in catalog covering Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Synology, and APC gear alongside live iDRAC, iLO, and UPS metrics. Role-based access control, OIDC single sign-on, TOTP multi-factor authentication, encrypted full-state snapshots, and a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log keep multi-user operations accountable.

TapMap draws a computer's live network connections on an interactive world map, so you can watch which applications are talking to which services, where those services sit, and what normal looks like for that machine. A local pipeline scans active sockets, extracts the remote addresses, and enriches them with geolocation from databases stored on the machine itself. Every connection carries the owning application or process, its network operator, and the operating system's verification status for that app, and places that share a location are highlighted when connections overlap. The same view lists local open ports, both TCP listeners and bound UDP sockets, established services on your LAN, and public services whose location could not be mapped. A rolling 30-day history turns raw connections into awareness: an Insights panel surfaces new applications, providers, countries, and ports, plus the most frequent activity, while a Significant Connections log records first sightings and failed verifications. A Daily Activity Report goes further, sorting applications into seen-once, occasional, recurring, and stable patterns, analyzing provider concentration, and charting country activity with detailed timelines. New significant connections can raise a desktop notification or publish to an MQTT broker you configure. Nothing is sent anywhere by default: processing happens locally, with no telemetry.

Neko Master watches every connection flowing through your Clash, Mihomo, or Surge gateway and turns the stream into a live map of devices, domains, countries, and proxy nodes, so questions that once needed packet captures get answered at a glance. The dashboard refreshes over WebSocket as traffic moves, charting upload and download trends across thirty minutes, one hour, or a full day. Domain views rank every host your network contacts by traffic and connection count, and IP views add ASN and geographic detail, so an unfamiliar endpoint explains itself instead of raising an alarm. Proxy statistics break traffic down per node and per rule, which makes a saturated exit, a misrouted application, or an underused subscription obvious in seconds. One panel watches several gateways at once: add OpenClash backends directly, or install the one-command agent on OpenWrt, Linux, or macOS machines beside remote gateways and let each agent report home. Because agents open the connection outward, gateways behind NAT still report in, and the panel never reaches into your network uninvited. History persists in SQLite by default, and busy networks can dual-write traffic statistics to ClickHouse for larger histories while configuration stays in SQLite. Token-based access control protects the dashboard, dark mode and an installable PWA keep it comfortable on a phone, and the interface switches between English and Chinese.

Network traffic stops being a mystery once ntopng names the hosts, applications, and protocols behind every flow, live in your browser. To find the host saturating an uplink, open the dashboard, which ranks top talkers, countries, autonomous systems, and protocols beside historical charts. To see what a suspicious host is contacting, open its page for traffic, ports, DNS queries, TLS details, and visited sites, plus a map of its conversations. Deep packet inspection recognizes applications such as Facebook, YouTube, and BitTorrent, so charts name the app behind the bytes instead of relying on port numbers alone. The console reads packets from a SPAN port or TAP and NetFlow, sFlow, or IPFIX records from routers and switches through nProbe, so it can cover a single switch or many remote sites. Behavioural checks raise alerts for flows, hosts, and interfaces and send them to email, Discord, Telegram, or webhooks. Active monitoring probes remote hosts over ICMP and HTTP/S, and network discovery lists the devices on your local network. A REST API and Lua scripting pull statistics into your own tools and add custom checks.

Your house already has lights, locks, sensors, thermostats, and speakers from many brands, and Home Assistant gives them one local control room with no vendor cloud in the loop. To close the shutters when the outdoor temperature holds above 25 °C, or to be alerted when the garage door is left open, build the routine in the visual editor: When, And if, Then do. Scenes, scripts, and blueprints package it for reuse, and run traces show what it did. More than 1,500 integrations cover Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, MQTT, ESPHome, Bluetooth, Hue, and Sonos, and network discovery offers known devices for one-step setup. To see the house at a glance, drag tile, thermostat, gauge, graph, and map cards into a dashboard, then put it on a TV with Home Assistant Cast. The Energy dashboard answers where the power goes, drawing solar, grid, battery, gas, and water as one distribution diagram with cost totals and per-appliance tracking. To talk to the house, use Assist: natural-language commands, wake words, and custom sentences run locally or through Home Assistant Cloud. The map panel shows who is home, plotting people against zones such as Home, Work, and School from the iOS and Android companion apps. Areas and labels keep large setups tidy, and multi-factor authentication guards each account.

Over 400 technologies and thousands of smart devices from any manufacturer, unified under one roof: openHAB is the vendor-neutral home automation platform with a pluggable binding architecture. Each binding translates a device or service into openHAB's clean abstraction: Things expose Channels, Channels link to Items, and Items feed a rules engine that runs your home. That engine meets you at your skill level: Blockly gives non-programmers drag-and-drop visual logic, JS Scripting (GraalJS with the openhab-js library) is the modern text-based standard, the classic Rules DSL remains supported, and JSR223 opens the door to Python, Ruby, and Groovy. Time- and event-based triggers, scripts, notifications, and voice control compose into automations of any complexity, and users report decade-old rule sets still running rock solid. The Main UI handles configuration, semantic modeling, and now built-in charting - no external Grafana required. Built in Java on Apache Karaf's OSGi runtime and stewarded by the non-profit openHAB Foundation, it requires no cloud to function: everything runs locally, talking directly to your devices. Optional connectors bridge to Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit, with iOS, Android, and web apps for control from anywhere.

If cloud-dependent smart home hubs and YAML-heavy configuration files leave your household at the mercy of vendor outages and broken scripts, Gladys Assistant puts your entire home under clean, point-and-click local control. Zero YAML required. Pair thousands of lights, thermostats, smart plugs, locks, and sensors directly through native Zigbee2MQTT, Matter, Z-Wave, and MQTT support, or install hundreds of sandboxed community integrations for Philips Hue, Shelly, Sonos, TP-Link Tapo, Netatmo, and Reolink cameras in a single click. Visual scenes make automation effortless. Trigger multi-step routines from motion sensors, sunrise schedules, house presence, calendar events, or electricity tariff changes, and chain conditional actions with delays, HTTP webhooks, and Telegram alerts.
