Request for metadata & name mapping

Just started using the SQL Logger recently... Not sure why it took me so long :D

I'm using it for some external scripting, more than internal Indigo stuff. It would be really helpful if there was another table that had a mapping of device & variable names to their ID's. There are ways to get around this, but having that simple mapping would be really useful.

As a bonus, it would be very nice to have some way to represent the custom state names & types as well. Maybe just a dump of the XML structure for the states along with the name map? That would make it easier to not only get the device column names but also their types.

Re: Request for metadata & name mapping

Good ideas, both. Not sure we'd do it as part of this plugin - it might make sense to make those additional API calls. The former is pretty easy either way. The latter is actually more difficult than one might expect, but it's still a valid request. I've added those to the request list.
