Is it possible to get the ping status (preferably the number of seconds a device has not been responding to ping) via the JSON API?  DeviceRouter::getInfo(uid) doesn't seem to return that.  Any thoughts on how I could get this bit of info via API?

getInfo seems to do the trick for me, although I only see up/down in the form of the 'status' field. True when up, False when down. I'm exploring if the time down is accesible via the events

Thanks for pointing out the status field.  It appears that it's set to False if device is down. 

I was also wondering if down time could be gleaned from /Status/Ping events.  Maybe that's the way I'll have to go with this.  Seems kludgy to scour events for that kind of info. but it might just work.
