apologies in advance for what may be a dumb question.
i understand fing actively monitors devices connected to networks. i think i understand what up status means - i.e. a device is actively connected to the network (presumably tested by sending it a packet and getting the expected response). i can guess what down means - i.e. the opposite of up - a device is not responding to active requests such as pings. i don't really understand what expired means or how it differs from down.
also how do these states translate into a status of home vs. away?
i just caught on to the fact (by reading the description - "DUH!" - should have done that earlier) that FINGSCAN's primary purpose seems to be home/away tracking and triggering on those transitions (akin to geo-fencing sort of?), so perhaps my questions about using it for monitoring connectivity/health of devices are off-the-mark? if so, please let me know.
