I am officially releasing Survey v2.
What is the Survey Plugin?
The Survey plugin is primarily used for helping diagnose or identifying issues with the Indigo device network. The plugin will send a “ping” out to each device on the network and track how long it takes the device to respond. These metrics can help identify devices that are slow to respond, or responding erratically.

Basic Usage:
- From the Plugin Menu, choose the Survey Plugin, and choose How many Passes to run.
- Each Pass is a complete examination of all Insteon devices. So the more passes (and more devices you have) the longer it will take to process the report.
- While the report is running Indigo maybe slower to respond to other Home Automation requests. While I have written the software to allow Indigo to process other requests, it is a good idea to run the survey’s when the system is reasonably idle.
- Survey’s will be stored in ~/Documents/Surveys, and can be deleted, or preserved as required.
- This plugin currently supports all Insteon devices that support the Insteon StatusRequest command. Generally that means that any battery powered Insteon device will not be tested with this plugin.
The Plugin does not have a Indigo Web Interface.
The search feature does allow you to filter the report, so you could restrict it to Keypadlincs, by simply typing "keypadlinc" into the search box.
The inspiration of this is from the iHealth application.
I hope to be able to extend this to support Zwave, X10, etc. At this time it is not possible, but I am hopeful that eventually we will be able to do so.
I welcome any feedback, comments, and concerns. I especially would like your feedback regarding the reports. Is there additional data that you think would be useful? Do you think there is a better way to present the data? etc.
