This release adds a simple lorem tool to the plugin menu. There are three options -- sentence, paragraph, or text (several paragraphs). Outputs to the Indigo Events Log.

This update installs one dependency: https://github.com/sfischer13/python-lorem

New Tools and Refinements

This is a fairly big update to the plugin. Changes include:

• Adds Network Ping Test - Allows users to initiate a network ping (as opposed to an Indigo device ping) from the plugin menu, as well as a Network Ping Device type which allows users to create routine ping schedules.
• Adds Tool to Find Indigo Objects with Embedded Scripts - Generate a report of all Indigo objects that have embedded scripts. This tool includes a simple search filter to limit the objects returned.
• Adds Tool to Find Indigo Objects with Linked Scripts - Generate a report of all Indigo objects that have linked scripts. This tool does not include a search filter since it would require granting the plugin access to user file areas.
• Removes Generate Substitutions Tool - tool no longer needed because substitutions are available directly from the Indigo UI.
• Numerous refinements to reports and tool functions.
• Bumps the plugin API version to 3.4.

Important

The Linked Scripts tool is only available to users on Indigo 2024.1 and above.

Caution

The plugin now requires at least Indigo 2023.2.

See the plugin wiki for more details. Post bug reports and feedback to the plugin forum or create an issue on GitHub.

Bug Fix

• Fixes bug in network quality test, "could not convert string to float".

All users on 2023.2.1 should apply this update.

Adds Network Quality Tool

This release adds a new Network Quality tool. The implementation is:

• Network Quality Report Menu Item - Run the tool from the Multitool plugin menu. This tool prints the results to the Indigo Events log. It does not save the results anywhere. This is the "on-demand" implementation.
• Network Quality Report Action Item - Run the tool from an Indigo Action item. This tool prints the results to the Indigo Events log. It does not save the results anywhere. This is essentially the same and the Menu item tool, but it allows you to run it based on schedules or triggers.
• Network Quality Device - the Network Quality Device is available if you'd like to save the test results for future inspection or to fire automation based on the results. The device does not run the test on its own; you must tell the device to run the test by using an Indigo Action. You can create as many devices as you like to use different configurations.
