How is a parent supposed to work under Dude 6? I was under the impression if a device was a child it would not alert if the parent went down. Is this not the case or do I have something not set right?

hello j2sw,

As described in the wiki:

Parents - Which device is the hierarchical parent of this one, builds reachability dependencies to avoid multiple notifications in case parent device fails (in which case child devices are also unreachable)

.

But there may be some issues with this configuration: Dude v6 - Dependencies - How does it work?
