How to configure a Thing/Model to display whether the Hue Bridge is Online?

My local network is DHCP and so the IP address of my Hue Bridge changed. (I get that I need to lock it down in my router).

The temperature on my page stayed the same, since it wasn’t getting updates.

I want to display the “online” status of the Hue Bridge on my page to see if it is still configured correctly.

My question is: How to configure a Thing/Model to display whether the Hue Bridge is Online?

You want to check the ThingStatusChangeTrigger in a rule. It is not possible to directly link an item to the online status of e. g. a bridge.

Just search for it, there are already very good examples.

Beside fixing the root cause with a fixed IP address I think it is a good practice to check the status of bridges so that automations can react to e g a measurement being outdated.
