I noticed today that a Netatmo module hasn’t reported for several days. I would now like to create a notification in Homey if a device has not responded for 1 day and belongs to the Netatmo group.

Unfortunately there is no Netatmo group and I can’t select the device individually either.

Do you have an idea?

Thank you for your answer. And the names Netatmo, wind and rain are the names of the devices? When I have a device bedroom I have to use the logic name bedroom (logic name contains bedroom)?

Yes, or they’re part of the (Netatmo related) device name.  
F.i. “Rain Meter B” is valid with logics card “if name contains Rain”  
Be careful though, “Rain shower” is also valid 😁

Searching here for “A device hasn’t reported in” resulted in:

> Homey Pro (early 2023) has this function removed as it was a pretty heavy function and pretty unreliable.

> For now it is just talk, have seen no evidence of it yet.

What are you looking for, René? There’s several scripts for checking on “last report” info. You can use right away.  
This for example

> [@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 timer’ timeframe.
