AEOTEC Multisensor 6 Aktiv ?!

[FBerges 52]

Hello
I have an AEOTEC Multisensor 6 and operate it with a power bank.
I learned it with a 230VAC / 5VDC power supply.
How can I query in LUA whether the device is still active?
Since I learned it without a battery, the battery info is not available to me.

poll + dead

but it`s tricky

good Morning all, good Morning @10der

Well what queries to determine the dead?
No value = dead goes bad.
Actually, you would have to have that also with an alarm function to first determine whether the encoder is still there.
Even a normally closed contact does not help if the transmitter has no power and cannot send the change.
A tricky situation.
But there has to be something, if a module comes out of reach of the mashes it will be displayed on the dashboard!
It's actually the same.
Look i mean!

It’s prop “dead“ just read this prop

Sorry I am so far from my pc...

1st HC marked device as dead only if some requests to this device failed 

2nd all request while device dead but not recognized HC as dead will be succ and you got last saved value 

3td for initiation checking of dead process you should poll this device manually Fibaro has native method 

4 just after poll make sleep and check prop with name “dead” if it true than device really dead 

5 also you can read last modification for motion sensor or/and temp sensor if os time - LastModifed is toooo much - probably your device is dead.

 

thats all from my side, Sir

fibaro.call(deviceID, 'poll')

fibaro.sleep(1000)

local isDead = fibaro.getValue(deviceID, "dead")

Hello
That's working !
fibaro.call (deviceID, 'poll')
fibaro.sleep (1000)
local isDead = fibaro.getValue (deviceID, "dead")
Although I'm not sure why yet.
poll and dead are actually not propertys.
I guess I could have written erni and bert too.
My guess is :
fibaro.call (deviceID, 'poll')
Initiates a query.
After 1s it is queried whether there is something pending and if the device is toot it gives a true.
So far the theory is a bit illogical, because I would have expected a nil or zero.
But THANK YOU for the solution!

Hello

Well, I still lack a lot of knowledge!
I hadn't seen that.
Thanks for the detailed info !
Now I understand how that works, I assumed that the assumptions were wrong.
So there's what that tells you that the module is dead.
Do you have any information about how long it takes until a module is declared dead?
You waited 1s to query this.
Is that always sufficient or does it depend on the wake-up interval of the module?

powered divices probably always on, so query by poll should results right along...
