Device_tracker questions: nmap vs arp-scan

Looks like on HA, nmap_tracker and arpscan_tracker are doing the same thing. Correct?

1. Is there a reason to use one over another?
2. Why don’t either of these log IP addresses within known_devices.yaml?
3. Is there an easy way to auto-generate on/off glance of all “known_devices”?
   • at least some way for a glance on device_tracker.MAC to show on/off instead of “home/not_home”

And lastly: according to the device_tracker page, known_devices.yaml is being deprecated. Does that also mean for nmap_tracker and arpscan_tracker? (I honestly just spent the last couple hours mapping friendly names and ip addresses. )
