Detect when ST hub is offline?

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I have some pistons that keep track of some stuff that run every minute. They work great. Except I am having an issue with my ST hub going offline every day for 10-15 normally when I am sleeping. The previouly mentioned pistons are important enough to wake me up when they fail. However, they I get false failures when the hub is offline.

I am working with ST on this issue, but it would still be nice to know if the hub is offline.

BTW - I don’t mean on battery, I mean offline / disconnected in the IDE.

2) What is the expected behavior?
It would be great to have a restriction on a piston to say “Only When Hub is Online”

The difficult part is that the WC bits run in the ST Cloud, so when its offline how will it know its offline?

Now if you just want to know if your specific hub is offline (no internet) vs ONOEZ! SmartThing is dead in the water again … (major outtage) that may be something to look at … wondering if you can programatically get at the hub status …

It would work. I’m not talking about the cloud being down. I’m talking about the hub being offline. If you unplug your hub the pistons will still run. Device actions and local lan requests will fail but cloud to cloud will still work.
