I have a device created as Standalone, and the data comes in via a webhook. However, the connection status of the device stays “unknown” all time.
-
Does it require a workflow to change the “connection status” to connected/disconnected?
Ideally, the device state would be automatically set to connected when a webhook comes in, and shows disconnected when not being active for a certain time.
-
A last-time data-received timestamp would be great as well, but it seems I have overlooked that feature?
Thanks for any hints.
Hi @Frank12 !
Yes, you can use a workflow to set how device connection status behaves…
To set device status to “connected” every time it reports state:
Use a Device State Trigger followed by a Conditional Node to determine if the device is connected
. If FALSE (left path), use the Losant API Node to set Device: Set Connection Status
to connected
.
To set device status to “disconnected” after a period of inactivity:
Use a Device: Inactive Trigger, configured to fire after a chosen interval of time, followed by a Conditional Node to determine if the device is connected
. If TRUE (right path), use the Losant API Node to set Device: Set Connection Status
to disconnected
.
I agree that this should be easier. I’ll bring this up with our team and see what we can do. Thanks for the feedback!
