I don't follow these devices closely enough to recommend anything, so

Knowing nothing, I'd expect to need to write some kind of program
which periodically extracts some kind of Attached Devices report from a
WAP or router (DHCP server?) which has current info, using that to
create and maintain a (very) simple data base, and check for novelty.
Assuming a web-browser interface, a program/library like Wget or
curl/libcurl might be helpful.
