Dead node notification

[Ole 14]

Hi everyone!

 

Is there any way I can get my HC2 to notify me about dead nodes? Preferably HCL as well.

 

Regards

Ole

I have no ready-made script to send a mail. I hope you get the idea, just loop over the result of getDevicesID and make a text, then mail that text...

Apparently not. There is another discussion on this site about it.

here you go.

Thanks for your replies. The battery check looks interesting and I'll give it a try, but in my case it is more often that mains powered devices (mostly Fibaro wall plugs) that go dead. I then usually have to reset them and ad them again. I would think that someone who knows LUA could write a script that does this? But of course it should be implemented in the firmware to let users know if a device has gone dead.

Can you please have a look at my answer in this topic, then tell me what do you expect? You want some "safe send" then if the device fails you get a mail notifying you of the fact?

Hi and thanks for you reply!

 

I just want my HC to send me a notification if there is a dead node. So if any device is marked with the dead node cross in the GUI I want a notification. That would be great because I do have quite a bit of problems with dead nodes. And a lot of my wall plugs control panel heaters and they end up making the room they are in very cold if it stays off or very warm if it stays on.

Thanks Peter!

 

I have no idea what the syntax for the rest would be, I have no knowledge of LUA, but I'll save what you sent and maybe have a look at it sometime.

I think maybe I have solved this... Maybe! Haven't doen much testing but in the little testing I have done, It works!

 

So what I did was go to parameter 15 on my Wall Plug and set it to "1" so it measures the consumption of the Wall Plug as well as the equipment thats plugged into it.

 

Then under Configuration > Z-Wave Network I checked of the "Polling dead devices:" box.

 

Then I made a Scene where I said that IF Wall Plug drops under 0.1W THEN send Push to Phone.

 

If the Wall Plug goes dead, the HC2 will still pull data from it, but since it dose not get an answer it will set the value to 0W, and then my Scene gets activated.

 

As my polling time is 125 Seconds, it will only take 2 minutes before I get a notification about the dead Wall Plug.

 

 

With this I can get notifications if some parts of my house loses power. If the whole house looses power, then I would get nothing since the HC2 is dead as well. But that can be solved using some power backup on the HC2 and the equipment that runs my internett

 

Hope this helps!

Good thinking! I'll test that too. Now all we need is Fibaro to address the issue of the 102 wall plug going dead in the first place.
