Monitors selected devices and sends a notification if any have not updated within a specified time period. Messages may be sent via Pushover, Prowl or email. This is especially useful for connected devices such as security panels, networked thermostats etc., and battery-operated devices.
Also monitors external device IP addresses and sends a notification if a device IP address has changed. (Note that this functionality requires the FingScan plugin. Only IP devices created by FingScan can be monitored.)

Add option to specify a separate notification priority for each monitored device.
Allow selection of multiple devices when adding items to be monitored.
