So long story short, Google Nest thermostat just disconnects from HA every once in a while. It used to be when I did a reboot I’d get a notification in HA telling me an integration needs setting up again, always Nest and Google Calendar.

But now it seems to disconnect and not tell me. I realise when it’s fucking freezing and my heating hasn’t kicked on (I control it with HA rather than Nest because I get better results.)

So what I’ve done is have Node Red reload the integration every 4 hours, because when I manually do this it’ll come up that the integration needs reconfiguring.

So now all I need is to be notified when the integration needs reconfiguring. A Google just brings me up threads on how to send a notification. I can do this already, I just want a notification when I get a notification…

See, the problem is that it’s called “Notifications” in HA.

    Maybe look at something like a template trigger that checks the last_updated property of the state object? If it’s older than n hours ago it’s triggered?

      Nice, I’d have to see how often the temperature changes during a normal day but I could make it work. Great idea thabks
