Detecting Loss of connection to ZWave device in a program

[John Vickers]

I am new to the ISY, so sorry if this has been answered somewhere else!

I am looking for a way to have a program detect a loss of connection to a ZWave device. I am setting up a watchdog on a chest freezer and am using the Zooz Zen 15 appliance switch. I have a program set up where I can look for a loss of power draw, but I also need to know if it is still connected to make a robust system.

On way I thought of doing it was to update a variable every time it gets a power report, then have something that triggers if that time delta has become to large. I am not sure what the best path to doing something like that would be.

Any suggestions from those more familiar with the ISY994?

Thanks,

John Vickers

@John Vickers,

You can use Not Responding in the condition. But, you would need to query the device every <some-interval>. 

With kind regards,
