Right now if you pay someone to get a device scan for you, there is basically no way to verify what they give you. Especially since a -lot- of devices have the same commands available. It would be nice to be able to get the 'name' of a device via program. It also would be nice to be able to read the location ID out of a device for the same reason.


#device-execute-command
1234
report_model_number // returns 'name' of device
#enddevice-execute-command
#device-execute-command
1234
report_current_location // returns location ID
#enddevice-execute-command

The device name is the grid if, essentially. We aren't going to provide meta info like 'security camera'. Not everything has a unique IC name.

Including the locations geocoded ID is interesting and possibly not game breaking.

However, you're looking for a coded solution to an IC problem. I need more reasoning than 'deckers can lie to me' if I'm going to implement a feature.

Deckers should be able to lie. Just like a solo could lie and say they clone deathed a target when they didn't.

That's fair. Getting a geocode would still be quite useful.

I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but being able to query the geocode of a device might enable the ability to 'track' it. It's not like you'd be able to pinpoint globally it unless it was in some location that you already know IC (right?). E.g. scan a progia and plant it on someone.

If the general case is too much, then perhaps it could work if you can just query if it is at a known geocode and get true/false.
