Well after ST/ADT turned my entire automation system off I've decided to migrate over to HE. And now the learning curve begins.
I have two older Z-Wave Outlets ( GE 45605 ) that are connected to a GCFI outlet outside. The switched outlet is connected to some Christmas tree lights that when it rains will sometimes trip the GCFI outlet.
In ST I used webcore to check the status of these two devices and if they came back as "offline" then I would set the Inovelli light switch at the door to flash Red.
I am struggling to recreate this in Hubitat. I have used the Generic Z-Wave Outlet and the Generic Z-Wave Switch so that I can poll them, but neither has return the results that I would need. I have not installed webcore and am trying to do through polling, rules, ect.
The feature you are describing sounds like the Device Health feature on SmartThings, which does not exist natively on Hubitat. (Actually, one piece of the developer docs suggests at least the capability does indeed exist, but I have never seen any driver or app make use of it.)
On Hubitat, your options would be to check the "Last Activity At" metadata on the device, then act appropriately if something hasn't happened in the desired timeframe. It's likely your GE outlet will respond to a "refresh" command and update that field (even if no state actually changed) if online, but you may want to test the device in both states to see if this data represents what you need. However, you'd then need a custom app to make use of this data. I'm not sure if webCoRE can access it (I don't think so), but I know Rule Machine can't, so you would, again, really need a custom app for this. Device Watchdog is a community favorite, and you can have it turn on a switch when your "reporting" criteria are met, which in your case would be the switch not having checked in within a certian amount of time. You can schedule a refresh right before this report (using the app or using a rule; a rule would give you more flexibility) and make that interval pretty small. I also have an app, Device Activity Check, that might work. With either of these options, you'd probably need a rule to tie the "something to report" switch into an automation that starts the Inovelli notification.
If you're familiar with ST or Hubitat's Groovy environment, you could also write your own; these are just two options I know of.
