Action when Specified device connects to wifi

[deursen]

Hi i have an Vera home automation controller.
What i would like to do is trigger certain events when i enter or leave my house.
Is there a way to trigger a cron job or something else when for example my phone gets connected to wifi?
The Vera home controller can be controled by specific http 'commands'

When not possible on the router. Is there a way to get the names of connected devices with a certain router page? I do not mean the graphical one. Maybe i am able to write a script to filter out the device name i have.


thanks for everyone that can help me

I don't know all the technical details...but Merlins software has a jffs script called dhcp-event which passes the event name as a parameter , so , I'm wondering if something could be scripted to take advantage of that.

DHCPDISCOVER would mean a device has connected to the router.

Apr 5 11:13:18 dnsmasq-dhcp[528]: DHCPDISCOVER(br0) <MAC address>

DHCPOFFER shows the IP address being offered for that device.

Apr 5 11:13:18 dnsmasq-dhcp[528]: DHCPOFFER(br0) 192.168.1.139 <MAC address>


Maybe someone more in the know might be able to suggest something around those events in that script.
