Automation to notify connection failure in Z-Wave JS (UI)

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi all,

I am using ESXi with passthrough to a usb/serial connection to my Z-Stick. Most of the time the controller is fine:

But sometimes the usb/com-port passthrough fails and ZWave JS UI will show an error:

How can I detect that failure in an automation? The zwave devices are all ok and I cannot find a device that shows the actual status it shows in Z-Wave JS UI…

If this happens frequently, it could be indicative of some other problem. That said, this error is almost certainly being logged, and there may be a way to get the log file to fire an event which you can use to trigger an automation. Take a look at this topic for some examples.
