... I'd like to do the following, for no reason other than my own curiosity:
Every device I have is both in the PLC and either part of a group or linked to the PLC, so PH can hear any traffic to/from the each device.
Because PH is polling every-so-often (say, 15 seconds), then each device would update about every 10 minutes if I've got 40 devices. In theory the status poll isn't necessary if PH is aware of the device state, but in the event PH gets out of sync (say, it wasn't running or the PLC got locked up) then it could poll the device and update its own status to reflect the polled status.
So, what I'd like to do is find out how often this happens. Version .12 has been amazingly stable w/ the PLC. I'd like to basically keep track of every time PH polls a device, and corrects its internal state of the device. Maybe this could be a report? (Status Corrections?)
Suggestions?
Thanks!

One time the status poll is useful is if someone turns on a lamp at the lamp itself, trigging local load sensing on the lamplinc module, which does NOT send out any signal. in v.12 it will pickup the new status and update the system. Very useful when you are also updating external software (such as xLobby in my case)
But I digress. In response to your question, it would be interesting as well to see this type of report. might lead you to some further communications issues.
