Question

Is there a possibility to make a IF card for Homey (device) if one connection is dropped from a other device and you can see that red icoon with a exclamation mark in it. WiFi connection is sometimes lost.

Because then u can take action if a connection is dropped.

IF \> connection is dropped

THEN \> Push notification to user

If connection is lost then no possible way to send notification…or am I missing something?

No its the WiFi connection of divices like LIFX lamps sometimes it lost the WiFi connection. There is then also no connection to Homey and if homey me then a warning give then the lamp is not burning all night.

I think the WiFi sent/reciver from LIFX is weak because dont have troubles with any other WiFi devices. The router is a ASUS AX-11000 and the range of these lights is 5 mtr.

It also can be a good idea to check your wifi and zigbee coexistence.

> ZigBee and WiFi channels both exist in the 2.4 GHz band, existing in the exact same frequency space. When deploying both WiFi and ZigBee in the same environments, careful planning must be performed...
