Ah, so it’s a `tag` create/update error?  
Hmmmm, what’s changed?  
Can’t find anything here:

Not really, the problem is/was my misunderstanding of tag function - it do not return anything as Athom dev. said : “tag has no return value” - [com.athom.homeyscript/app.js at 09d6d7397f7dcd6c001650aa7a1d3834d57734b6 · athombv/com.athom.homeyscript · GitHub](https://github.com/athombv/com.athom.homeyscript/blob/09d6d7397f7dcd6c001650aa7a1d3834d57734b6/app.js#L327)

I love this script… 😉

But I as well have the problem that some routers (powered devices) do not update their “last seen” when not used for a while. In my case only Ikea bulbs and sockets as well.  
I would like to use the script mostly to report battery powered devices not reporting anymore because of a low battery (or failure of course).

Is it an option to include a/some line(s) in the script to exclude router devices, @Sharkys?  
Or filter on router/end device?  
I tried my best, but couldn’t find it… ☹

This works @ Pro 2019, can you test it?

```auto
const result = await Homey.zigbee.getState();
log(result);

If you have this Yellow flag, you must recreate the script as you are still using old version of HomeyScript.  
Read more on [Tutorial: Migrating deprecated scripts - HomeyScript](https://athombv.github.io/com.athom.homeyscript/tutorial-migrate)

**Long story short** - create new script and copy paste the script from the previous version.

’m making a mistake somewhere. I’m using version 0.4 but for all devices, I get: NaN-NaN-NaN, NaN:NaN:NaN. Invalid value for time?

Am I doing something wrong…? Additionally, the script now indicates that all sensors are OK. But there’s one sensor that hasn’t responded for 3 days. (that’s why I want to use this script)

Did you just copy paste the script and run it and with log scrolled up, share the screen, eg:

Thanks for taking a look. I copied the script exactly as is. I only changed the ReportingThreshold to 24. But even without that change, I’m still getting NaN-NaN-NaN.

Hm, interesting, Which Homey firmware version and HomeyScript you are on ?

Can you also go to [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground) and launch :

> Homey.Zigbee.getState();

And then copy here part like this one :

Homeyscript 3.5.1 and Homey is now on 11.0.0. Updated this morning, was on 10.0.10. (Homey Pro 2019).

I get this error with the launch of ‘Homey.Zigbee.getState();’
