Dependencies or Parent/Child Relationships
Allow devices to be dependent on one another. If a router goes down, the switch behind it will most likely go down or have an error as well.

Has using an empty value for the depends_on property been tested to have negative results? My testing shows no ill effect. Adding this property at the group level obviously speeds deployment. However if the primary device is within the group I don't want to make it dependent on itself. Adding the depends_on property to the primary device with an empty value seems to resolve this.
