Hello,
I have been looking for a way to get my z-wave devices status in an “automated” way (ie through a script for instance) in order to trigger an alarm in case a given device becomes irresponsive for some time. I can of course see this in Habmin, but this is not optimal as I have to proactively go to Habmin to see that there is an issue.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Thanks in advance for helping.
Rgds,
L.

Hi,
Does not look like this is possible at the moment, see:
Hi,
I started migrating to openHAB2. In OH1, there is a way to check, if a ZWave device is dead: Switch ZWaveNode1Dead "Dead" {zwave="1:command=INFO,item=DEAD"}
Is there a way to do the same in OH2? I don't know what to put here. {channel="zwave:serial_zstick:1553934d8ee:???"}
@chris , maybe you can give me a hint? I didn't find it here in the forums.
Thanks in advance... :slight_smile:
I was looking to try and do the same last night

Assuming the devices periodically update you can do something in rules. If not it won’t help.
As many of you are aware, there is a thread written by me and others with a bunch of generic Rules DSL Design Patterns. In keeping with the new thrust to populate the Tutorials & Example category, plus that thread is really long, I will make all future Design Patterns their own thread.
Problem Statement
Many sensors report status to openHAB periodically (e.g. temperature sensor) or unpredictably (e.g. motion sensors) and a subset of these sensors do not have a built in way for openHAB to quer…
