Gah. I feel like I have to debug thread pairing every time I get a new device... I definitely haven't checked my router settings though...

Great in theory, not so great for simple automations like seeing of people are home based on connected MAC addresses instead of relying on an app (that can't even run on the background consistently on modern mobile OSes).
