Method of Determining Gateway Connected
Hi Bob,
I have been using the BLTED plugin for some time now and getting a lot of value from your plug-in.
I recently setup notification events to tell me when a gateway becomes "not connected" and I am getting a lot of these for some but not all of my five gateways. In most cases this condition is brief with the gateway reporting connect again within minutes or even seconds sometimes. I don't believe the monitor is incorrect and often I find the gateway unresponsive but usually only briefly. This could be a PLC or network issue.
I was wondering how you determine if a gateway is "connected" vs "not connected". Are you using data from the livedata xml file, the stats xml file, or some other method?
