Battery Life and Healthcheck

🛎️ Get Help Devices

I have 3 systems

  • Simplisafe
  • Hubitat
  • Smartthings (at my parents house)

Battery life affects all 3, but Hubitat seems to have the hardest time with healthcheck

  • Simlisafe alerts me well before the battery dies and then when it goes offline
  • Smartthings has a device healthcheck endpoint [1] that I can hook up to NodeRed to monitor and alert
  • Hubitat has "Device Watchdog" app, which is inconsistent and the "battery level" of some devices seem inconsistent as well

Do others have recommendations for healthchecks that I can set up that can alert me to offline? I feel at this point anything related to battery level is questionable

There are custom drivers that support HealthCheck; however, most of them are specifically designed for Zigbee devices commonly used in Europe :

I use this app for battery levels and devices that haven't checked in in a certain amount of time.

I use it for sending notifications as well.

As do I. It's perfect for monitoring battery levels and devices check-ins.
