Like the new Ping feature, working great!
Would be nice to also be able to Ping based on a string variable, or an HTTP address.

Bruce - minor point, I noticed that the Hub Variables aren't being shown as in use when used by the Ping feature. Here's the hub variable display, both variables are in use in my Ping app and working great.
Any chance of pinging a web address in the future vice just an IP address?
Thanks!
Good catch. Fix will be in for that. We will do web address, just not sure of exactly when. Watch the release notes.

Where do I find the new Ping Feature?
It's under Send/Speak/Log a message.
@bravenel - recommend adding additional description there - I also had a tough time finding it at first.

Got it, Thank you
I treat the zero packets transmitted as an indicator that the ping failed, i.e.
if (packetsTransmitted == 0 || packetLoss == 100) pingFailed = true
I believe effectively the same. I believe that RM only returns %value%, the result of packetloss, and %text%, the full PING response, but I could be mistaken.
