 *invert red/green circle by configuration
 *renamed scene events and result description ("Got response?" -&gt; "Device responded") to describe the actions more appropriate
-== Version 1.2 ==
+== Version 1.2  ==
 *Changed file I_PingSensor.xml
 *Now that device acts less "aggressive" when no state change occurs. Formerly it triggered the scene event after every ping. E.g. if you turn a lamp out by hand which is also controlled by the ping sensor It was turned on after every ping again. Now only state changes from "ping -&gt; no ping"&nbsp;''or''&nbsp;"no ping -&gt; ping" fire events.

 For every ip you want to observe a own Luup device has to be created. After installation you only have to configure the IP or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FQDN FQDN]&nbsp;in the "Address" field and a delay time in seconds when a ping should occur has to be put in the "Period" field.
 Use the Arm / Bypass buttons to activate/deactivate your sensor
 The field "Tripped" and the red/green circle shows you, if your observed network device is reachable or not.
