Recover device status after power outage

Here is my CoRE solution that I’m very happy with in my world of ST.

Power Outage and Zigbee Bulbs

Power Failure - One Solution with CoRE It looks like the healthPoll() function runs every 5 minutes. It is that which will see the bulb is now on/100 and update things. From the silence on this site, I take it there is nothing in core to run a healthPoll() like function. Armed with the 5 minute cycle, I wrote a simple script that runs every 5 minutes. It tests if the light level is greater than 99. Why 99? I changed my other scripts to set the light levels to a maximum of 99 so that when there is a power failure, I can detect the bulb is set to 100 and thus a power failure occurred. Before you begin, turn on Advanced Mode by going into Settings->ExpertFeatures->Expert Mode [image] FAR from perfect, but a start. It will break if the bulb is connected to a remote. My case is a sta…

Another thing you can set into motion with CoRE are ‘Sanity Checks’. Little scripts that would turn things off when you know they should be off. For example, nobody is home during the day, so every day at noon, create a CoRE piston that turns off all the lights. Maybe set the same piston to fire off at 3AM for good measure.
