Abstract
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices, the method begins by identifying devices with a power connection. The method continues by obtaining status information for each device with the power connection. The method continues by updating an associated persistent indicator based on the obtained status information for each device.
Claims20
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices, the method comprises:
- identifying a device with a power connection;
- obtaining status information for the device;
- and
- updating an associated persistent indicator based on the obtained status information for the device.
A computing device comprises:
- an interface;
- a local memory;
- and
- a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the local memory, wherein the processing module functions to:
- identify one or more devices that share a common power connection;
- obtain status information for each of the one or more devices;
- and
- update an associated persistent indicator based on the obtained status information for each device of the one or more devices.
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices, the method comprises:
- identifying a group of electrical components that share a common power connection;
- obtaining status information for each electrical component of the group of electrical components;
- and
- updating an associated visibly persistent indicator based on the obtained status information for each electrical component of the group of electrical components.
