Manually add a known device not currently on the network

Is there a way to manually add a (known) device that is not currently on the network and rarely accesses it? I have no way to wake it up, etc., to get detected via scanning.
Thanks very much

There isn't a direct way to manually add a known device that isn't currently on the network. However, you can work around this by using the XML import feature:
- Simply create an XML file in any text editor, copy the text from below, and edit it by replacing the sample MAC address and comment with your device details. Alternatively you can download, unpack and edit this XML file.
- Once done, go to All Devices - Import in WiFi Guard and select your XML file.
