How to get notification when device is not available anymore

Hi guys,

I have about ten blinds in my house that are remote controlled by somfy/overkiz. They recently allowed local access which I think is great.

About two days ago, the devices stopped working (no connection, it said) and the central button in the house as well as the security automation to lift the blinds upon strong wind stopped working in the effect.

I just reloaded the integration and it works again immediately.

Now I’m wondering how to improve this behavior. I wouldn’t want to create ten automations to inform me when one of the blinds is not available anymore. I could create one automation for all, but that does not scale well when I’m thinking about adding more devices in the house (lights, heat radiator, solar panels etc), so a more general approach would be nice.

Has anyone of you an idea about an addon or something that would make my life easier here?

There are quite a lot of posts about this, and (I think) a couple of blueprints. Try a search. :grin:
