Hello,
Can you help me to create a piston that show notifications with the name from all and any device that change from ONLINE from OFFLINE?
And vice-versa.
Thank you very much.
Send notifications with the offline device
I tried this for a single device and it does not work. In spite the status is OFFLINE the pistons returns false! Why?!
THX.

I use WebCoRE for just about every automation, but for device monitoring, I like to use this Simple Device Viewer…it is very good:

I see, I tried it before but I was using the $status system variable. See if it works for what you’re doing:
It should look something like:
string([zwaveDimmer:$status]) is 'OFFLINE'
Could me send your piston? I don’t know how to write the code :" {presence}’ present is not present".
THX
Thank you, with your help I’ve made it and it works.
Now can you please help me to code it to send those messages to multiple users, when any of devices are OFFLINE?

I don’t have address book enabled but I believe you can select multiple contacts to send to.
I will figure out to send it to multiple contacts. But until then, how can I make the piston to autorun itself when the event the status of devices change to OFFLINE/INACTIVE?
In this way that you showed to me, works only if I gave him “run at every xx”. But I want to run in an “IF” just like bellow. But it doesn’t run by itself

Unfortunately, we cannot subscribe to $status so that was my workaround at the time. If you have a noisy device (something with events every so many minutes) you can use it as the trigger in the IF.
Yes but how? 
What I want exactly is when anyone turns off a Z-Wave bulb or other device from the power, I want to notify people, to turn the device XX back ON(LINE).

A bit of sticky tape over the switch works nicely… or just give up on smart bulbs and upgrade to proper smart switches.
