Easy way to alert if Zigbee devices stop working

In the UI there is a field “Last Seen” for Zigbee devices.

Imagine a water leakage or smoke detection sensor: they only rarely (or hopefully never) send state change events, but for the user it is crucial to know if they are still alive and working.

  1. It would be cool if there would be a convenient way to set up alerting if this “Last Seen” value is too old.

  2. Also nice would be an easy way to setup an automation like sending a status message “all sensors alive” once a week.

I have started a feature request for this.
