Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way to have a notification if a device drops out of the network for any reason (low battery, malfunction, bad signal reception,…).
I have seen some things about polling but it is not yet clear for me.
Can it be done? What are the side effects?
Thanks a lot in advance.
This SmartApp can do that and a lot of additional things;
Allows you to easily see a list of information about your devices like battery percentages, temperatures, how long since last event, switch state, etc.
Receive Push and/or SMS notifications based on temperature, battery level, and/or time since last event.
New Dashboard Feature allows you to view all your device information using any web browser. See the Version 2.0 Release Notes for more information.
It can automatically poll the devices at a specified interval.
Turn Off All Lights and/or Switches with a push of a button.
The first time you open the application, I recommend hitting Done as soon as you see the Setup screen because if you back out of the app instead of hitting Done, the app won’t install and you’ll have to reconfigure everything.
The Setup screen allows you to choose…

I haven’t used either the Simple Device Viewer mentioned above, nor the Device Monitor below:
2017-06-08 - Update: Added support for new Ask Alexa features: Message Queue, message expiration, and message overwriting.
2017-03-11 - Update: Added the ability to be notified if your Hub goes offline / online.
2017-03-08 - Update: Added support for SmartThings “Health Check” capability. If the device supports it, Device Monitor will look at the online/offline status of the device. This can be more accurate than looking at events sent by the device.
2016-09-06 - Update: Added support for Ask Alexa .
2016-08-22 - Update: I have made a few changes. I am using a more accurate event detection, battery levels can be checked, and you can be notified when devices come back online. Check post 63 for more info.
