Device offline in routines

Hi, and yep, for all the reasons you outline that is all I really want to do. May not be as useful as it could be but would be nice to give it a go

SmartThings knows when a device goes offline, and there should be a function to send you an alert. It would be a nice feature if they added it.

Taustin has one solution.

Build automations based on device online/offline status

If you have critically important devices in SmartThings, and you need to know if they ever go into an ‘offline’ state, then this Edge driver can help you build the needed automations in the post-Groovy world. Be forewarned that this driver requires my edgebridge app running on an always-on computer with internet access. I know this isn’t ideal for a lot of people, but it is needed to access the SmartThings API. If you already use edgebridge, you may still need to update or create your edgebridge configuration file to provide your SmartThings token. Please see this README for all the details for installing, configuring, and using this driver. Please note that device Controls screen labels are still broken - particularly for iOS users. For those suffering from this, know that the butt…

You could also do it with Sharptools but it would be quite a bit of work!
