As usual I glanced over my dashboard with water leak sensors and everything was green. Good ? Not! As I just noticed the plumber had unplugged one of the water leak sensors in the laundry room when doing some work a few days ago and forgot to plug it back in. So I could sleep tight knowing that my water is monitored and a leak would trigger a chain of events that would close the valve on the main line, which was not the case.
There are some solutions like Watchdog that can send a report when a device does not report but that is cumbursome to use and not very user friedly. More importantly the report is a separate thing from the dashboard.
I think an option to specify the expected device wake up interval on each device and the ability to visually show whether the device reported in the specified time in the tile that hosts that device is very essential. Naively I thought is is very straightforward to implement and was surprised that it does not exist when I got the Hubitat.

In the mean-time using Device Watchdog has been life saving for me for both this reason and for batteries that die out before they report back being under 50%.
