Change icon/color when sensor has not updated

Post by gmccarthy »

Not sure if the following is possible, if not would be a useful feature.

When a sensor has not updated in x hours/days (Due to broken comms etc) then change the icon or colour so we can easily spot broken sensors.

The PIR sends updated every 5 mins so anything longer than 10 mins is problematic.

When a sensor doesn't send data in a period of time the title color changes (to red) and when battery is low it changes too (to yellow).
But there is few info about it, i've found just a post and it says thet title becomes red after 3 days without data... it's not true, it changes to red after several hours.
It would be a good idea to allow config this behavior, so we could choice the interval without data that could be an issue.

The screenshot I pasted was from dummy sensor I setup in March (When it last communicated). The title is not red. :(

Use the default Domoticz theme and it will probably work. Looks like the theme you are using is not supporting the colors.
Not using Domoticz anymore

I've set the theme back to default but still don't see any titles changing to red? (Tried FF/Chrome on Win10)
Domoticz is running on my R-Pi (v5859)

I guess it depends on what kind of (dummy) sensor you use.

I have registered a nearby PIR, probably from neighbours, with is seen more then two weeks ago. It does not show a red mark.
However some nearby rain/temp sensors with last data from more then a 24hours are RED, also dummy's for temperature old nas-device.

Also working as explained above with ThinkPads Theme and Default Theme.

Dummy Device is builtin and won't disappear after update.

Like i mentioned earlier, some get a red titled widget when they are last seen more then 1 hour ago, some aren't.

As i have a mix of dummies and nearby sensors, i can tell you weathersensors and utilitysensors get a red title bar after 1 hour. Some securitydevices wouldn't.

Thanks for the info.

Would be nice to get dummy devices added in then as a feature.

Search the subforum script. Someone already did build a lua or other type of script to get notified about sensors seen longtime ago...

Does anyone know what code to change to get the sensor label to turn red on utility sensors. Its working fine on temp sensors - turns red after not reporting for a while, but not for utility sensors.
