Notification when a device is TimedOut

Post by psubiaco »

Hi.
Domoticz has the function to marked a device as TimedOut if it does not respond (it will look with a red header).
I believe that a useful function is the ability to send a notification when device is TimedOut, as like as a notification if BatteryLevel is low.
Below you can see the notifications menu: Domoticz can send a notification only when input toggles to ON or OFF.
I believe that a notification when device enters or exits from TimeOut state will be useful.
I'm using Domoticz with several DomBus modules to manage the alarm system in my house: in this case if a module stops working, a notification is needed!
Similarly, I believe that a notification based on BatteryLevel will be helpful as well.
Thanks a lot!! Paolo

Try the script by @waaren in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=15488.

As described, you can specify the timeout on a device-by-device basis (and only for those you consider 'critical').

I have been using it successfully to generate Pushover notifications for 2 of my devices: an electricity & gas meter reader which can go offline after a power failure, and a greenhouse temperature sensor which is on the edge of its reception range.

Thanks for the answer, but I meant the possibility to add notification simply, by clicking on the notifications button.
It's very useful to get a notification when a device goes in TimedOut, or SignalLevel becomes poor or BatteryLevel flat.
