Network Insights

The Fing Desktop and Web App provide at-a-glance and granular information on your network devices at the brand, model, and device levels.  These insights include distribution spread by model and type, product classifications, for example,  price or popularity, and warranty information so you can easily know when your devices will be out of warranty.

View Network Insights

When you launch Fing Web App or Fing Desktop, the Network Insights window is included as part of the Dashboard display.  To display this window at any time, select Insights from the left navigation bar or scroll down on the Dashboard to view the Insights About Your Device section. 

The Fing Insights feature presents a layered view and you can easily navigate between overview information providing a collective view of all device types and individual device information using the Explore option on each window as shown in this Fing Web App example.

To expand and discover a detailed breakdown of device information by profile or type, device model, smart home integration use, and lifecyle and warranty, select See All Insights.   

Device Distribution

The Device Distribution graph shows Devices By Profile, Device Recognition (Full or Partial), and Smart Home Integrations.  Full recognition means that the Device Brand, and Model are identified and displayed.   Partial recognition means that some of these characteristics are not recognized.   In this example, the Samsung and home router are partially recognized.    Brand, family, and model are not available for the home router, and brand is recognized for the Samsung but family and model are not available.   The information provided depends on the information available to Fing.

Devices by Profile

You can view your devices by type in the Device Profile window, for example, networking or personal.

Device Model Recognition

You can view exact device model, brand, online/offline status, and when the device last changed status in the Device model recognition window. 

Smart Home Integration

The Smart Home Integration lists the type of smart home integrations for each device.    You may have more than one smart home integration for each device as in this example, which shows 5 integrations and 4 devices.   In the Integrations column, you can see the smart home integrations for each device.

Lifecycle and Warranty

The Lifecycle and Warranty window shows a graphical display of the warranty status of your devices.  Select Explore from the Lifecycle and Warranty window to display device brand, model and name.   You can also mouse over the status column (online) to show the option to check the warranty information, and whether the product is within its warranty period or not.  Information is categorized in these areas:
