Set device connection status via API?

[Paolo_Proxy]

Hi there,
would there be a way to force set the device connectivity status?
I have a set of devices that are connected to another system and I can check via their API whether is online or offline.
Ideally I don’t want to create a separate attribute for that, because it would be nice to see the device Connection Status in the dashboard panel.

Yes:

• https://docs.losant.com/rest-api/device/#set-connection-status
• https://docs.losant.com/devices/overview/#force-connection-status

Note, it will only work on device classes that can connect to our MQTT broker (so, not systems or peripherals).

That worked just fine!
