Display dependencies for devices

Post by dlmorgan999 »

On occasion it would be nice to be able to easily display all the dependencies for a given device. It appears that this information is fairly easy to get since it is displayed if you try to delete a device and there are dependencies. Having this easily availalble would make troubleshooting much quicker (trying to find which task is triggering a given device for example).

YES!! I second this!

It would be nice to build a tree view of the devices to show the dependencies. I've often wondered where all my property values are being used, and which task depend on which device, etc. It happens if I haven't touched HB in a long time.

Which really a testament to how stable and solid HB is - once I've got it set up, I never really touch it again - kudos to Scottbot!

P.S. that last sentence was really a blatant attempt to ingratiate myself to Scottbot so I can get on his HB 3.0 beta testing list.... if there is such a thing.

P.P.S. Housebot really IS stable for me... really!
