Hi,

Is there a way to get a notification if a device becomes unavailable? As in, has the red triangle with the white exclamation mark showing on the device?

Thanks

There is.  
This [Device Capabilities app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287) flow card can do that:

Thanks Peter for sharing. Btw, seems that it’s not working in cases, where you specify together Brand with Device type. So best is indeed the way you make it or just use only Brand, eg. Yeelight, Xioami etc.

Also, it’s nice question because it really works only for those devices marked with “RED” triangle on it / so the app itself must first support it, then DC can be used second. 😉
