Greetings, fellow Home Assistant enthusiasts! I recently transitioned from the deprecated Z-Wave integration to Z-Wave-JS and encountered an issue with my automation setup. I previously relied on the ‘last received’ attribute to monitor the activity of my battery-powered Z-Wave modules, which was crucial for detecting when a module hadn’t communicated with the controller for an extended period. This automation was particularly useful as I found the battery level reports from the modules to be unreliable at times. For example, one module reported a 0% battery level yet continued functioning for months, while another stopped working entirely despite showing a full battery charge.
After switching to Z-Wave-JS, I noticed that the entities previously used for tracking the ‘last received’ attribute no longer exist. I’m now seeking guidance on where to find this information within the new Z-Wave-JS framework. If anyone has successfully implemented a similar monitoring system or can shed light on how to access the necessary data points, I would greatly appreciate your insights.
Additionally, if others have encountered similar challenges or have tips on optimizing battery monitoring in Z-Wave-JS, please share your experiences. The community’s collective wisdom is invaluable, and I’m eager to learn from your expertise.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
