Hi everyone, I'm new to HA and was curious if it's possible to toggle a smart plug when the Alpstuga sensor stops working. The sensor works quite well but once in a while it just hangs and I have to power it off and on. I would love to automate this, but I'm unsure on where to start. I read the Automation wiki but it's somewhat overwhelming.

You're a real champion! Much appreciated, that gives me more than enough to get started!

fwiw, have you tried switching to the Matter Server app "beta"? It has some improvements to subscription management and such that might mean you don't even need this automation.

No I haven't I might give that a shot, thanks. But I think there is an issue that Ikea has to fix with the firmware as well. I have another Alpstuga which is not connected to anything yet and hangs now and then.
