Question
Dalle1985 15
Hi guys,
Living in an old house with thick walls and probably a few layers of lead paint, I have been battling an issue with nodes going dead once in a while. When the nodes go dead, they mess up my scenes.
I've also read a fair few posts from people battling dead nodes on here.
Since Fibaro seem to think that it is a wonderful idea to mark a node as dead and then do nothing about it, I decided to do something about it myself. So I have created a scene which periodically checks for dead nodes (I've set it up to every six minutes) and if it finds any, it will wake the device up, request that the routing table be updated for every device and send a push to the owner telling that it has found a dead device.
The push message might be a nuissance more than a help, but I use it to monitor how often devices go dead to make sure that i don't have devices that won't wake up - i.e. if it has run out of battery or isn't working properly. It can be disabled by changing the variable disable_push to 1.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the scene so it can help some of you who are suffering from dead devices.

*** EDIT ***
Added a sleep command to ensure that the issue described below with the system becomming unresponsive doesn't happen.
