Zilly Question - Offline/Online Column for "Settings - Devices"

Configuration
1

Hi,
This might be a zilly question with an already excisting supereasy way to solve already…
However - I changed my Zigby Controller today following the guide for migration and everything looked just fine until i discovered my Automations were not working anymore. After a while I discovered that most zigbee divices were “offline” so no wonder automations or nothing else worked as supposed to.

So my Q is:
Why is there not, or hopefully - where do I turn on the setting that shows a column when clicking “Devices” and then “10 devices” on my ZHA, Zigby Home Automationtelling me if the devices are online or offline?

Would have made it so much easier to se if all is good or not without clicking and clicking in to every single device. See picture.

Hope you all have me excused if this is the stupid question of the year, this being my day number 2 on Home Assistant after moving from Homey Pro yesterday.

Hi,
Maybe you can use Developer Tools > States to find all unavailable entities.

Hi Nick and thanks for your suggestion,
However i dont think its solving my issue - what i want is a designated column telling if each device is Online or Offline. If to use the State column you sugges it seems lke we will loose other valuable info to.

A simple Online/Offline column - imagine it in the picture in my original post and below - and in my oppinion that would give really valuable and timesaving info. Espesially when there is somthing wrong and you dont know why. Whith this you could see in a second if all Ziggbe or W-Wawe were all OK or not, but kow you have to click quite a bit in to each and everyone of them. And if you have a fe hundred devices that is gonna take a while dont you think?

Hi,

I also use a custom lovelace card to automatically show all ‘unavailable’ entities based on some rules. See for details on that: GitHub - thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities: 🔹Automatically populate the entities-list of lovelace cards

Once that is installed this is the card config i use to show all unavailable entities.

type: custom:auto-entities
card:
  type: entities
  show_header_toggle: false
  state_color: true
  title: Unavailable Entities
filter:
  include:
    - domain: light
      state: unavailable
    - domain: switch
      state: unavailable
    - domain: fan
      state: unavailable
    - domain: cover
      state: unavailable
    - domain: binary_sensor
      state: unavailable
    - domain: sensor
      state: unavailable
  exclude:
    - entity_id: '*_update_available'
sort:
  method: friendly_name

And that does not do what you need perhaps this might help…

Cheers
Nick
