Occasionally, I open my Smartthings app to discover a disconnected device, but Smartthings provides me no automatic notification of this offline status. Does anyone know of a software solution (Tasker, etc.) that can detect if a device(s) is/are disconnected and push a phone notification?
Agree. Device Monitor is a great tool for tracking and notification of devices dropping off the mesh. Iāve used it for a long time and it makes administering SmartThings devices much easier.
Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like exactly what I need.
As I am new to Smartthings and have not previously used SmartApps, Github, etc., could you kindly outline the steps involved in implementing this app or provide a link to a primer or wiki on doing so?
Thanks for the links. I installed the app, but, unless Iām missing something, I donāt see any option to detect offline devices and receive notifications of same.
Not all devices support Health Check so in the āThreshold Settingsā section you need to fill in the āLast Event Thresholdā option and enable āOverride Last Event Threshold for Offline Devices?ā.
In the āNotification Settingsā section you have to enable āSend Push Notifications?ā and āSend Last Event Notifications?ā.
If youāre talking about the āCheck at this intervalā setting within the Device Monitor App, yes. I have mine set at 30 minutes. If youāre talking about SmartThings āDevice Healthā, no. I have that turned off. I also have the āRun a check each time one of the selected devices sends an eventā choice enabled within Device Monitor.
Nope. I have the 'Simple Device Viewer too, but Iām talking about, āDevice Monitor:ā. This one is the one I rely on to notify me that something is disconnected and/or not communicating:
