What is the Survey Plugin?<\/h2>\n

The Survey plugin will go through your Indigo Devices, and “Ping” (Status Request) any devices that support the Status Request command.\u00c2\u00a0 This allows you to get a survey of all your devices, and ensure that they are online easily.<\/p>\n

The idea for this plugin occurred when I was trying to map out our new circuit breaker box.\u00c2\u00a0 It while we were able to identify some of the circuits easily, there were 6 that were non-obvious\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.\u00c2\u00a0 So I thought about the problem, and realized that if I left Indigo running, I would be able to perform status requests, to see what devices did not respond.<\/p>\n
