When...

Device Watchdog
Device's battery gets low
i
Fires when a scan (interval or manual) newly detects that the selected device's battery dropped to/below its threshold, or reports a battery alarm. For any device instead of one specific one, use "Devices with low battery are newly found".
Device Watchdog
Device stops reporting
i
Fires when a scan (interval or manual) newly detects that the selected device hasn't reported within its configured threshold. For any device instead of one specific one, use "Devices are newly found not reporting".
Device Watchdog
Device becomes unavailable
i
Fires in realtime for the selected device, directly via Homey's device availability event - independent of the interval scan. Respects the device's "monitored" toggle (off = never fires for it); the narrower "Ignore unavailable" toggle doesn't affect this trigger. For any device instead of one specific one, use "Devices newly become unavailable".
Device Watchdog
Devices with low battery are newly found
i
Fires once per scan, bundling every device that newly dropped to/below its battery threshold in that scan into a single trigger - instead of firing "A device's battery gets low" once per device.
Device Watchdog
Devices are newly found not reporting
i
Fires once per scan, bundling every device that newly stopped reporting in that scan into a single trigger - instead of firing "A device stops reporting" once per device.
Device Watchdog
Devices newly become unavailable
i
Fires in realtime, bundling every device that becomes unavailable within a few seconds of each other into a single trigger (e.g. after a mesh network hiccup) - instead of firing "A device becomes unavailable" once per device.
Watchdog status

Watchdog status
The generic alarm turned off

And...

Device Watchdog
Device has low battery
i
Checks whether a specific device was flagged with a low or alarming battery in the last scan.
Device Watchdog
Device isn't reporting
i
Checks whether a specific device was flagged as not reporting in the last scan.
Device Watchdog
Device is unavailable
i
Checks a specific device's live availability, as reported directly by Homey - independent of the interval scan. Always false if the device's "monitored" toggle is off.
Watchdog status
The generic alarm is on

Then...

Device Watchdog
Run device scan now
i
Runs a full device check immediately, independent of the automatic interval setting. Also works when the automatic scan is disabled in the app settings.
