Device connection status - Standalone - Webhook

Help

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!
