Is there an easy way to see all the devices that are offline or not working correct? Maybe make a tab at the top to see wich devices are offline so you see it directly. Now I have to go through the whole list of devices to see if every device is working and doesn’t have the red exclamation mark. ---

Why not have yourself informed as soon as a device becomes unavailable: ![Screenshot_20250822_123511_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/c/bc044a100a8f4e45e64025fed581d2a48e13db35.jpeg) App: [Device Capabilities](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287) ---

Oh thats a nice way! Never thought about this! I will try that, thanks. ---

I agree with your idea an indicator and link to unavailable devices would be great, just like how the lights indicator works; Something like ![Screenshot_20250822_134541_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/2/629c4578d08342597e0f5a8d7931023a8d13df2b.jpeg) I also like it to be optional: select which indicators you like to see. I don’t need speakers + energy for example. ---

Just wondering, you have cameras in homey? And which cameras is it? ---

Device offline doesn’t trigger with me at such circumstances. Only if the app stops working it will trigger. Have to run a script regularly that checks if a timestamp changes or there is a dead node. ---

Of topic. Am using IP cameras from Edimax, Foscam, and Raspberry. Getting only pictures so far. Streaming according Athom not (yet?) supported. ---

> [@SingKT](#): > > Device offline doesn’t trigger Correct. The device has to be _unavailable_ to get detected. This state breaks flows for example. ---

Reolink cam + doorbell cam, and a no-name outdoor cam. All added per Onvif Camera app. ---

Also. What if a device stops working but is stated as online in Homey? My home connect oven works perfectly but sometimes in Homey the values stop updating. I have to delete the device and add it again every time it happens as the repair won’t fix it. ---

Could it be a glitch within the app for the device? Did you try to contact the maintainer of the app? ---

> [@John\_William\_Brekke](#): > > What if a device stops working but is stated as online in Homey? Homey doesn’t detect that on it’s own, which is silly. F.i. zigbee2mqtt has individual settings for both battery & mains powered devices, wich determines after how many hours of inactivity you’d like devices to be considered offline. But, there’s a very neat script you can run, it checks for last update values of all/selected sensors and you can send notifications with the results: > [@A script to check sensor last update](https://community.homey.app/t/a-script-to-check-sensor-last-update/63142/25): > > Updated script I posted above - added counter of non responding devices - eg, in case you would like to initiate some action based on number of not-responding devices - please note this is the version I’m using, so feel free to change relevant variables below the section // Filter devices to check Changelog : 0.1 - update - converting notReportingCount to a number - if you used previous version of script, delete tag by await tag(‘notReportingCount’, null);\* 0.2 - added filtering based on dev… ---

Ah, Home Connect app should be restarted daily to keep things alive. App developer seems uninterested. > [@Bosch Siemens Home Connect App](https://community.homey.app/t/bosch-siemens-home-connect-app/101922): > > Is anyone else experiencing issues with the Bosh / Siemens Home Connect App? I’ve found recently I have to restart it every few days. It doesnt seem to have crashed but but I use in flows to add an entry to timeline and make announcements and they just stop working every few days, restarting the App fixes it but cannot see any obvious issue - anyone else seeing this?

Ah, for me restarting the app doesn’t fix it. I have to delte the device every time ithappens and readd it back into homey. ---

1. Maybe it’s mDNS related (Homey seems to have difficulties with it). In that case you’d only need to restart your wifi router and access points. 2. When the device hasn’t a reserved IP address yet, it might get different IP addresses over time from your DHCP server. Homey has a hard time tracking devices with changed IP addresses. 3. Maybe the device settings show a “Maintenance \> Try to repair” option? This sometimes fixes ‘lost’ devices ---

Yeah try to repair doesn’t work. That’s why i’ve been deleting the device and addibg it back in Homey. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/tab-for-offline-devices/142086.md?page=2)
