Ever needed to force your media box to restart after the media player software has locked up? Ever finished your lately hacking session with a cluster of Raspberry Pi’s and wanted to just shut them all down? Ever wanted to double-check that your home Internet-of-Things is all still pingable and responsive? Well here’s the app for you! Command and Control allows you to easily scan for all pingable devices on your subnet, name them, set their type (even setting their default username/password, though of course you’ve all changed your default root password, right?). Once added, you can easily select just the ones you want to control, then ping them to check they’re up, or restart/shutdown all of them with one tap of your finger (okay, two, there’s a confirmation screen just to be safe)!
I’m also intending to keep adding functionality to C & C; there’s a whole stack more features in the pipline, including:
• Improved scanning for devices, to try and check for SSH availability and device type detection.
• Track more details of each device.
• (For some device types) Show some vital statistics for devices that expose stuff.
• Add ability to have multiple batches of devices, for people with even more stuff than me!
• Improve ping, to allow multiple ping attempts before failing.
• Provide ability for users to customise device types.
• Add ability for user to create their own "Actions".
• Ability to SSH into devices via your favourite SSH client.
• And any user suggestions! Please check the site for a contact email!
