Heimdall - Let Homey watch over your home

Next to the new functionality Writing to the Timeline another new function is added to the app in the rewrite to make Heimdall compatible with Homey 2.0: Check Last Communication

This function checks when Motion- and Door/Window sensors that are included in the Armed and Partially Armed Surveillance Mode have communicated with Homey last.

When the last communication has been longer than 24 hours ago Heimdall will do 3 things:

A line will be written to the History telling you that the sensors last communication was longer than 24 hours ago and when the last communication was received.

A line will be written to the Timeline:


Only when A motion device hasn’t communicated and/or A contact device hasn’t communicated in the WRITE TO TIMELINE settings are enabled

The No Information Received flowcard will be triggered. This card has 4 tags: Hours no information, Last update, Device and Zone. With these tags you can compose your own message to for example send a push notification.

The Check Last Communication function is automaticaly run when you set the Surveillance Mode to either Armed or Partially Armed. Do you want to make a flow so you can schedule the check to run at a specific time? You can do so by using the Check Last Communication action flowcard in a flow that you run at your desired time.
