This have the problem that most phone devices does not reply to ping; that's why software like fing[1] need to send an ARP to each ip in the network space; every client in the network is required to answer those.

- combray 12y agoThere is code in there to pull the arp table and use that, but it's commented out because I never found a good way to determining how long things stay in the ARP cache. Since we don't know how long they stay in there, you will lose all of the "xxx left the network" notices, so we made that trade off.
