This is nice way of getting the live device data out from the router - I've made a few scripts in the past for logging into the router web interface and scraping connected device data as a "Who's in the house" display.

Pulling the DHCP functionality out into something more accessible is a great idea!

Not for me on FIOS (I have one year left on my contract UGH! but I was told NO Contract sign here I'm a Noob)

I use to have my own DNS on my server for these purposes and could get a text or email whenever my kids started pulling data on wifi (Teenagers who "can't sleep" than I pulled this trick and they were sleeping)

Fios TV must have the DNS going through their crappy router.
