Disconnect Notification

[wiltdavi]

I have had multiple issues that require reconnecting the SmartApp to Spruce Connect. It would not be a big deal if I knew when I needed to do it but as I don't check on the system all the time it usually goes a week or more without being noticed. It would be useful to have a push notification when this situation occurs.

This is not a bug with the code as it is a new feature request. It appears I cannot add a label to this so please label it accordingly for me.

I am working on the code for this and will provide it once completed.

Based on my debug of the situation I believe a notification can be send when refreshAuthToken() has an error. I am currently testing this with a configuration option to receive the notification available during the App setup. One additional thing I need to figure out is how to only send this notification once when the issue occurs. Currently, my code will send it every time the refreshAuthToken() has an error which from my testing once it occurs it continues to occur with each sensor update request.

Is there a variable that is already tracking if the SmartApp is connect to Spruce that I could trigger off of to only send this notification once? If not my thought is to have a variable that is set to connected when the SmartApp is setup and then set to disconnected when the refreshAuthToken() error occurs. In this way the notification will only be sent once on disconnect and then will be reset when the user re-connects the SmartApp. Can you suggest a location to set this variable during the connection/setup process?

Pull Request #17 adds the new feature which I have suggested in this ticket. The code will notify the user when the app becomes disconnected and every 25th time the issue occurs after that. This the user is not over burdened by notifications but should also be notified at lease once a day if the issue is not taken care of. If the issue resolves itself, the user is notified that the app has reconnected.
