Make your SmartThings aware of the availability of things on your network. This simple device attempts to open an HTTP GET request to a port of your choice on a LAN IP address of your choice. No response? The device will report "Down" in the status. Did the port respond with valid content (even a 404 or Authentication Required?), then the device will report "Up" and the round trip packet time in the "ttl" field.
