An eclectic set of tools and reports for the Indigo Home Control Server.

Usage

The Multitool Plugin uses individual plugin menu items to access an array of tools to do such things as print server status information to the log, or "Object Dictionary" which prints information about the selected object (action, device, etc.)

When installed, the plugin does not use any Indigo system resources unless called upon by the user. The plugin may require access to the Internet depending on the tool used; however, many functions of the plugin do not require it.

Changes in this release

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.

This release catches up changes to the plugin for Indigo 2022.1 and subsequent bug fixes.

A note about one of the fixes -- during a prior update, the plugin ID was inadvertently changed. This caused a few minor issues with respect to integrating the plugin into the Indigo Plugin Store. This release should fix this issue. Users may need to delete an existing plugin installation before installing this update.

Consolidated changes: - Fixes bug where plugin ID was inadvertently changed from com.fogbert.indigoplugin.multitool to com.fogbert.indigoplugin.Multitool - Fixes bug in "Indigo Inventory" tool (unhashable type: 'list'). - Hides hidden methods for "Methods - Indigo Base..." and "Methods - Plugin Base..." tools by default. - Adds enabled state to device inventory output. - Standardizes Indigo method implementation.
