Home automation is a great way to make your home more convenient and efficient, but it can be frustrating when things don't work as expected.

One common issue that can arise is when Z-Wave devices fall into a dead state, meaning they are no longer able to communicate with the Z-Wave hub and then function properly.

This can be a huge problem, especially if you have a large number of Z-Wave devices in your home.

In todays article I will take a closer look at how to get the number of Z-Wave devices in a dead state and being notified about it.

Let's get started!

Software configuration

  • Home Assistant. I'm currently running version?2023.1.4.
  • Z-Wave JS integration?configured in?Home Assistant. This integration allows you to control all the Z-Wave devices installed in your network via?Home Assistant.
  • Mobile App integration?configured in?Home Assistant. This integration allows Home Assistant mobile APP (Android / IOS) to be linked with your?Home Assistant?server.
  • Mobile APP?installed on your smartphone.
