Howdy,

First off -- thanks for all the feedback!  Many of the responses were what
I
thought, but wasn't sure of (that's good -- at least I'm thinking in
somewhat compatible/similar ways :-)

A clarification on this though:

I guess I got the impression that asking for status was a pretty generic
thing -- that all devices could be queried for their current status.  As
such, I was hoping there was a uniform pattern that could be applied to be
able to detect that a device is having it's status requested.

It appeared the key was using a schema type of .request and then a
command=status -- should all schemas/devices support this?

Thanks!

Gerry
