The mikrotik platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a Mikrotik Routerboard based router.

You need to enable the RouterOS API to use this platform.

Terminal:

/ip service
set api disabled=no port=8728

Go to IP -> Services -> API and enable it.

Make sure that port 8728 or the port you choose is accessible from your network.
