It would be great if device offline status will be added as a part of the scene options, so we can choose one of three options : if smart device is ON, if smart device is OFF or if smart device is offline then do this.
Thank you

Ward no longer works for ewelink.
I think the tricky part is that “offline” isn’t always a reliable status. Sometimes a device shows up as offline just because the cloud didn’t get a heartbeat in time — maybe due to weak Wi-Fi, a quick power blip, or even just some network lag. It doesn’t always mean the device is actually down.
That’s probably why using “offline” as a scene trigger could be risky — it might fire when it shouldn’t. But yeah, it would be super useful if there were a more reliable way to catch real disconnections.
