Set variable to device online/offline status?

May not be the right forum but ...

Is there a way to set an Indigo variable (or some other mechanism) to true/false based on a device being online or offline? Or perhaps issue a command to a device and use the error of the device not responding to set a variable that it is offline?

There might be another way to do this, but what I'm trying to do is use a Wi-Fi attached device (no bridge or hub) and conditionally send it commands only if it is online.

Trying to avoid just continually sending the command every few minutes as a brute-force alternative.

One of the plugins, but I can’t for the life of me remember which, monitors IP devices for online/offline and I’m sure will be your answer here.

Hopefully someone else knows which.

Maybe the Network Devices plugin will do what you need.
