Hi,
I am trying out Fing and am having trouble trying to identify a device on my network. It's called Sky Light Digital.
Can anyone shed any light on how to best figure out what device this might be?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Masseychusetts , by any chance to do you have a connected digital picture frame? If you do, check the IP addressed assigned to it against what Fing is telling you it has. If it matches you know what it is.

No digital frames. I find that online as well.
I'm stumped!

A challenge @Masseychusetts ! If you know its IP address you can try to HTTP to it from your browser. Sometimes, if the device has a web server built in, you could get a response telling you what it is.Thats Daphnee, she's a good dog...0

No go. It requires a username/password.
