@lrstanley I'm open to seeing how your suggestion works out in practice. My main concern here is that I'd prefer to abstract away the need to know what type a device is for the caller. The device object has a deviceType field, but the rules around what qualifies as a basestation are a little fuzzy. For instance, an Arlo Go camera is both a basestation and a camera.
