Offline Device notifications?

I would like to set a routine to notify me when a device goes offline. Seems pretty simple. I do not see how to do it in routines

Not directly. There was a discussion about offline notifications last year in this topic.

Sensor offline notification?

I’m not sure how well this would work as sensors could go on and offline regularly in short stints. But when my sensor batteries go dead, sometimes all of a sudden, it can take me days before I realise they have. Can we add in automations an option to select, if offline for a period of time, notify me. I thought setting the battery percentage lower then would work, but my sensors can go from something to offline before it triggers. Mainly sensors on doors where it’s cold and batteries are not constant in their drops.
