A web browser tab

There are so many devices these days that are used on the lighting network that have web config and status pages. Having a tab on the console would be so much quicker than opening my laptop, changing IP settings, and navigating to the device. Having a view saved to be able to confirm a device is online or quickly make a config change would be a great boon to efficiency. A list of devices hyperlinked in a magic sheet would be convenient. The ability to code an HTTP command into a macro would be incredible, and could make linking CRMX devices a button on the console.

There are obvious security concerns, but restricting the browser to only communicating with its own local subnet should alleviate most of them. I would hope most if not all lighting networks are not internet enabled anyway.

  • I came here to post this exact wish.  I was going to add: I understand the "security risk" but it would be fairly simple (I say from my couch with no knowledge of the matter) to block all websites that are not on the same IP scheme as the console.  Don't let it use a DNS. 

    In some venues adding another device to the network isn't possible or easy without preplanning with the IT department.
