Hi, I have experienced that some devices (Tuya Cloud or Wifi) are not showing that they are not connected anymore. No red flags, they just doesn’t work. This has even occurred for some Zigbee devices. They look the same until you go into the tile and there is a message, “device offline” or “device disconnected”. Would be nice to run a script or an advanced flow that sent some kind of ping or listened to any life signal from any device and bringing back a report. Or a tile that imorts all the devices and has a switch or a led that tells if the device is communicating or not. ---

I made this flow for these kind of issues. You can import and use it: > [@The Flow Exchange(r) - Exchange Your Flows with Others!](https://community.homey.app/t/the-flow-exchange-r-exchange-your-flows-with-others/68981/13): > > Sensor (or any device) Connection Check. Sometimes, you’ll discover a sensor or other device doesn’t report it’s status or value anymore, but it does NOT notify you of being offline… Well, this flow checks the, most recent update time of your sensors. You can run the flow every day, twice a day, just add or remove a time triggercard. The ‘inactive time’ can be edited as well (24hrs as default) and you can choose to not send notifications when all sensors did report inside the ‘inactive time… Install [Device Capabilities app](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/) Go to app config Hit ‘Templates’ Hit “(Updated) Sensors Connection Check.” > ![Screenshot_20221230-195210_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/1/61863d7d8df4d13510b0bc8475a0026973f7a48e.jpeg) For further howto: hit “How to import an Exchanger file” ---

Thank you! This script I already have and that is very helpful! But for example, I have 5 heating ovens on WIfi were suddenly two of them were disconnected. Didn’t get any indication of it until I had to check for myself. ---

YW! Ah I see! This script can’t check if a Wifi signal is actually received by the Heater units. To check the status of WiFi devices on your network, I recommend the [NetScan](https://homey.app/nl/a/com.netscan/) app. > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] NetScan (Version 2.0.6, Test Version 2.0.8)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-netscan-version-2-0-6-test-version-2-0-7/47454): > > I have been in touch with the original author (Terry Hendrix) of an old app call NetScan and have been given permission to update it to SDK 3 and republish it. I am awaiting the transfer of the app by Athom and then it will need to be approved but in the mean time it is available in the Homey Community Store: And it is also now in the Athom store: Note: To publish the app I had to change the app ID, so the new version will not update any existing version 1 or older installations. This was d… It is pretty straight forward, enter the IP and check intervals. The device alarms when the IP is unreachable. You can use that in flows etc. ![Screenshot from 2023-01-02 13-10-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/d/fdd5ddba9ef45f4df36f3c8c2024182b63d77e3f.png) ---

TY! Will try this out as soon as I have my new Homey stable!
