I’ve just use the blueprint in an automation and got the follow result:
🛜 The following Zigbee devices are unavailable:
Dishwasher
eWeLink SNZB-01P
eWeLink SNZB-03P
IKEA of Sweden TRADFRI remote control
SONOFF ZBMINIL2
The problem is that it does not seem to show “frendly” name of the device I have configured and shows just brand and model (unless I miss something). Might be hard to digure which of my 10 light switches went offline by the brand name of model as they are all the same
Can someone explain in fairly simple terms how I’d extend this blueprint to includes lights? I see mention of it in various places in the thread above as being a possible but I’m a relative novice so would need hand holding.
I had some smart bulbs that should be powered on all the time so would like to know if they go offline.
hi Ltek, thank you for your updates. I just switched to your blueprint as I could not exclude switches and other devices from the dropdown list.
Thing you could improve also is the list of notify entities, any reason this is not a dropdown list like the exclude devices part?
Keep up the good work!
edit: hmm it seems the “Exclude entities with this Text (optional)” doesn’t seem to work. I tried excluding “Child lock” devices from the list but they still come in the notification. Tried it between and without quotes, no luck.
Another thing is that the first item in the list has no hyphen while all others do get the hyphen when using a different notification service/action and accessing the {{ offline_devices }} variable. Any chance you can fix this?
hmm is that blueprint only for battery devices? I started using your Offline Devices Report by LTek that you mentioned in this thread. Seems a different blueprint?
ok, I checked and I am using the latest version. The offline devices uses hyphens when accessing the {{offline_devices}} variable that I use to send notifications to my ntfy server.
When sending persistant UI notifications I do see a buttet list where the first item has a bullet too.
I found out why the exclude “Child lock” devices did not work. I used the “pretty” sensor name instead of the entity id name (child_lock). So that part is working.
update:
ugh ha doesn’t like me at the moment. I tried to take control of the blueprint and update the file to add the extra hyphen at the start. That worked for my published ntfy message but now the ui notification has a double bullet
I use Google Chrome on Windows, this is what mine looks like. Please note that your screenshot shows the Offline Devices, -not- the Battery Report. My screenshot below shows both so you know what they look like
it seems like the (current?) ha blueprint import module doesn’t import blueprints as is.
It alters the blueprint like removing white lines and linefeeds… Perhaps there is something wrong on HA’s import side…
I pasted your raw blueprint from github and now it works for both my ntfy server and persistant messages.
Btw, I like the persistant message too! So thanks for that. The notifications received in my companion app are gone as soon as I click them, sometimes to fast without reading what I clicked
