code updated.. v2 of script out now. Hello everyone! I wanted to share a solution I’ve developed for monitoring devices/sensors connectivity in my smart home setup. The problem I faced was not knowing if a sensor was working and sending up-to-date information. I’m sure everyone has had the problem…

Not to be an ass, but just FYI here’s a similar, less extended, script: [image] A script to check sensor last update Questions & Help Updated script I posted above - added counter of non responding devices - eg, in case you would like to initiate some action based on numbe…

Hi! Thanks for the script, I set it up, but ran into a problem. When I run the script, I get the output as shown in the picture. Device “Snelk. Tafel” is an Ikea shortcut button (older style) which I use daily, although the script says it has been offline for 3 weeks. Device “Wasmachine” is a so…

Hi Robert, welcome. To which post you’re replying to? When you responded to my post : I suggest to discuss script issues in the topic of the script I linked to. I’m over 664 months old :rofl::rofl: In Homey language, 664 months means, when no last seen value is found, it just returns 1-1-1970 as…

Ah yes, duh, the 0 in unix time! It wouldn’t pop up in my head just then :sweat_smile:

Hi ! The script is designed to look for the “last update” feedback from various devices and then pick the latest update to either send a notification or not. It appears that your “Snelk. Tafel” is not generating a feedback signal from the device when being used/turned on/off. As a result, the scri…
