## Supported Device Types & Detection Methods

### Home Assistant
- **Primary Detection**: Port 8123 (default Home Assistant port)
- **Secondary Detection**: HTTP title/headers containing "Home Assistant"
- **Tertiary Detection**: aiohttp server signature
- **API Endpoints**: `/api/`, `/auth`, `/api/config`, `/api/states`
- **Confidence Calculation**: 30% (port) + 50% (HTTP match) + 20% (headers) = 100% max

### Shelly Devices
- **Primary Detection**: HTTP title/headers containing "Shelly"
- **Secondary Detection**: `/shelly` API endpoint response
- **API Endpoints**: `/shelly`, `/status`, `/settings`, `/rpc`
- **Confidence Calculation**: 60% (HTTP match) + 40% (API response) = 100% max

### Ubiquiti Devices
- **Primary Detection**: Port 8443 with UniFi signatures
- **Secondary Detection**: lighttpd server with UniFi/Ubiquiti in title
- **API Endpoints**: `/api/auth`, `/api/system`, `/api/s/default`
- **Confidence Calculation**: 50% (port 8443 + UniFi) + 40% (signatures) = 90% max
- **Device Subtype**: Distinguishes "UniFi Controller" from generic Ubiquiti

### Ajax Security Hub
- **Primary Detection**: HTTP title/headers containing "Ajax" or "Ajax Systems"
- **Ports**: 80, 443 (standard web ports)
- **API Endpoints**: `/api/panel`, `/api/devices`
- **Confidence Calculation**: 60% (HTTP match) = 60% max

### NVR/Camera Devices
- **Primary Detection**: Port 554 (RTSP protocol)
- **API Endpoints**: Common API paths
- **Confidence Calculation**: 40% (RTSP port) = 40% max

## Script Features

### Performance Optimizations
- Parallel scanning using PowerShell runspaces
- Configurable timeout (default 100ms)
- Configurable thread count (default 50)
- Efficient CIDR range calculation

### Error Handling
- Try-catch blocks in all network operations
- Graceful handling of connection timeouts
- Null checks for all external data
- Informative error messages with Write-Error

### User Experience
- Progress bars during scanning
- Color-coded console output
- Verbose logging support
- Automatic JSON export with timestamps
- Grouped results by device type

### Security Considerations
- No credential storage or authentication attempts
- SSL certificate validation disabled for scanning (necessary for self-signed certs)
- Read-only operations (no device configuration changes)
- Respects HTTP status codes (doesn't bypass 401/403)

### Test Environment Setup

**Recommended Test Network Setup**:
1. Windows 11 machine on local network
2. At least one IoT device or security device for detection
3. Various network devices (router, printer, etc.) for generic detection
4. Multiple subnets (optional, for multi-subnet testing)

**Required PowerShell Permissions**:
- Administrator recommended (for ARP cache access)
- Network access required
- Execution policy: RemoteSigned or Unrestricted

---

## Assumptions Made

1. **Windows 11 Environment**: Script is designed specifically for Windows 11 but should work on Windows 10 with PowerShell 5.1+

2. **Network Access**: Assumes ICMP ping is not blocked by firewall (required for host discovery)

3. **No Authentication**: Script does not attempt to authenticate to devices (respects 401/403 responses)

4. **Standard Ports**: Device detection relies on devices using standard ports (e.g., Home Assistant on 8123)

5. **HTTP Access**: Assumes devices have accessible HTTP/HTTPS interfaces for identification

6. **Subnet Size**: Optimized for typical home/small office networks (/24 or smaller subnets)

---

## Known Limitations

1. **Device Detection**: Detection depends on devices responding to pings and using standard ports

2. **Certificate Validation**: Disabled for HTTPS to allow scanning of devices with self-signed certificates

3. **Authentication**: Cannot discover API endpoints behind authentication walls

4. **Performance**: Large networks (multiple /24 subnets) may take several minutes to scan

5. **Linux/macOS**: Script is Windows-specific (uses Windows PowerShell features like Get-NetAdapter)

6. **False Positives**: Generic "Network Device" category may include many unidentified devices

---

## Notes for test-agent

### Testing Priority

**High Priority**:
1. Core scanning functionality (subnet scan, host detection)
2. Device type identification for all 5 requested types
3. API endpoint discovery
4. Windows 11 compatibility

**Medium Priority**:
1. Performance with various thread counts
2. Error handling and edge cases
3. Output formatting and JSON export

**Low Priority**:
1. MAC address retrieval (depends on ARP cache state)
2. DNS resolution (depends on network DNS configuration)

### Expected Behavior

**Successful Scan Output**:
```
=== LAN Device Scanner ===
Starting scan at 2025-12-13 14:30:00

Detected subnets: 192.168.1.0/24
Scanning 254 hosts in subnet 192.168.1.0/24...
Found 15 alive hosts in subnet 192.168.1.0/24

Total alive hosts found: 15

Performing device discovery on all hosts...

=== Scan Complete ===
Scan completed at 2025-12-13 14:33:45
Total devices discovered: 15

=== Summary ===
IoT Hubs: 1
IoT Devices: 3
Security Devices: 2
Other Devices: 9
Total API Endpoints Found: 12
```

### Common Issues to Test

1. **No Administrator Privileges**: MAC address retrieval may fail
2. **Firewall Blocking ICMP**: No hosts will be detected
3. **Large Subnets**: May timeout or run very slowly
4. **No Network Connection**: Should fail gracefully with error message

---

## Extension Points for Future Enhancement

The modular architecture allows easy extension:

1. **New Device Types**: Add new `Test-*` functions and register in `Get-DeviceType`
2. **Additional Ports**: Modify `$Ports` array in `Get-OpenPorts`
3. **Custom API Paths**: Add to `$deviceSpecificPaths` in `Find-APIEndpoints`
4. **Output Formats**: Add new output functions (CSV, HTML, etc.)
5. **Authentication Support**: Extend HTTP probing functions with credential parameters
