FIXED:
when no value for "sleep between pings ..." is selected it errors.

CHANGED:
for ASUS and MERLIN router only enter the IP number -- the web page address is now part of the program
instead of 192.168.1/Main_WStatus_Content.asp/ just enter 192.168.1.1

NEW:
- Now has up to 21 devices in an event group, the first 5 of them can be Find my iDevices types
- can generate the following EVENTS:
++++ allHome = all devices in an event group have to be home to trigger <== NEW
++++ oneHome = at least one devices of the event group has to be home to trigger
++++ oneAway = at least one device of the event group has to be away to trigger <== NEW
++++ allAway = all of the devices in the event group have to be away to trigger
When you use the FINGSCAN events in YOUR TRIGGER, select amongst these event types.

==> YOU WILL NEED TO RESELECT THE EVENT TYPE in EXISTING triggers as the names have changed. <==

Fixed:
- using ASUS router with std op-sys caused devices to duplicate, (*)


Improved:
- when USE PING is selected, management of launch of PINGs is improved, reducing restarts of PINGs (behind the scenes change .. reduces load on MAC, minor impact).

(*)thanks to Jeff for helping to debug.

Fixed:
added some more error control

ADDED
Interface from MOTHER/COOKIE plugin.

You can add 3 COOKIES to an event and use the same time parameters as for IP-devices.

The application for this is a very stable accurate home/away detector:
You will have to have your iPhone and YOUR cookie with you.
Setup and EVENT with iPhone + your cookie.
Then Trigger on "at least one device home" EVENT to open your door automatically. The cookie pings the MOTHER device constantly and when you are close enough to the door it will connect and change its state to Present. The MotherPlugin will tell FINGSCAN that the cookie is back home and with this info you can initiate the trigger.
In order for this to work you should have the MOTHER device near to the door best would be a window. Then within a distance of ~ 20 meters the communication will happen. That leave enough time to actually open the door before you get to it.

If you then leave the range of the MOTHER-COOKIE in the house it would go back to "absent". Here you would either add 1..2 more MOTHERS or leave the cookie at the entrance and take it with you when you leave. I have 3 Mothers that cover my house completely (they are now $130 with 4 cookies at eBay)

With the combination of iPhone and Cookie you will not have iPhone away issues as Wifi turns itself off to save battery power. As the cookie is present and continuously communicates with MOTHER. The combination of iPhone+ cookie is always home when one of them is connected.

Set the re-trigger Home to 2 minutes and you will not have any false home/away events.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad61fha8sfn25 ... 3.zip?dl=0 version 4-12-3

ADDED:

option to reset all IP-Devices.

steps:
- the devices will be saved to file
- all ip-devices will be deleted from indigo and all variables are reset to "" = empty
- read the saved file and restore all devices

this is useful if you have some bad data in your devices.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ugtyj2wdcmrl0 ... 2.zip?dl=0 v 4-13-2

ADDED:

- Tries to deal with the situation if FING lists 2 ip numbers fro the same device (MAC#). It should replace the string "changed" with "double" in the address field.
In addition we have added a switch(in edit device) that can suppress the trigger messages regarding changed / double IP#s, the default is to show that message
This is difficult to test as I don't have that situation .

- a little bit improved interface to MOTHER, better formatting of log file.

last version introduced a bug by adding functionality for devices (one MAC #) that have 2 ip numbers. Should be fixed.

New
- improved interface to MOTHER (speed and formatting of messages)

fixed:
-fingscan error in Line '3374' variable for device with double IP numbers was not check properly
-suppress double / changed IP number did not work properly


Added
- now supports 1024 devices.. for those that check out Hotel networks
- changed log file text for changed/ double IP#'s to make it more understandable

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibjop43xt5tuy ... 6.zip?dl=0 v-4-13-6

fixed:
- "show" is correct now
- password in config should show "Password already entered" after you enter pwd. it worked only correct the first time you setup router, after that the code was skipped.

clarification:
the ASUS router selection now shows:
ASUS
MERLIN =< 378_54
MERLIN = 378_54

( used => ; the >= does not work in xml (I know there is a replacement for that but could not find it. it is some &xx string )

improvements
-better integration of AMAZON-DASH buttons. they go through various sites connected to the router. FINGSCAN now will set then UP if there is any connection.
-set priority of information to WIFI / ETHERNET(= FING, PING). It can be overwritten in the device edit menu for each device.
i.e.: sometimes the router / WIFi already knows when a device is offline, but FING does not. As default WiFI gets precedence. This can be set.
