Field Sensor
A drop-in, headless sensor that shows what’s really on a network: unknown devices, rogue Wi-Fi, and anything probing back.
Small offices and clinics rarely have eyes on their own network. This project is a palm-sized box you plug into a switch port that quietly reports what it finds.
Design
HardwareBeelink Mini S, headless.
PlatformProxmox, so each tool runs in its own container and can be swapped without touching the rest.
Reach-backTailscale. The sensor dials home; nothing on site has to be opened up.
Watches forUnknown devices on the wire, rogue or look-alike Wi-Fi, and anything that tries to talk to the sensor itself.
Open questions
- Which discovery and Wi-Fi survey tools give the best signal with the least noise.
- Where alerts should land: the lab dashboard, Telegram, or both.
- How to wipe and redeploy it between sites in one command.
