Hello,
sorry if this question has already been answered but I was not able to find anything.
Actually my question is quite simple - can a sensor be queried for its status?
I think it may depend on manufacturer/type of sensor… or may not.
Can someone who knows current ZigBee/ZWave standards answer this question please?
For example I found from my own experience that Xiaomi sensors can’t be queried for their status - you just patiently waiting for them to report their status.
It happens that occasionally Xiaomi gateway misses an update from some of my door/window sensors so even they are “closed”, HomeAssistant thinks the door is “open” (or vice versa).
Would be nice to be able to ask for their current status.
If I ditch Xiaomi sensors - can I then find a proper one or it is part of a standard that sensors only push updates by themselves?
Thank you.
