For hidden door and leak sensors, I am getting an update date in the last change field, but the status and value is showing as zero/flat line. In the status graphic section, the zero is mapped to a flat line and 100 is mapped to a heartbeat. Is the status supposed to be updating to 100 or are the status mappings mapped backwards or something else?

when the plugin receives the heartbeat msg, it changes the status to On (100) and then immediately Off (0). so you would only see the heartbeat icon for about a second if you were watching. so you typically will only see the Off (0 - flatline) icon.
the only useful function of the heartbeat devices is to use it in a trigger to notify you if you haven't recvd a heartbeat in the last 25 hours. this might indicate the battery is dying.Mark

clock
My thought around "Clock" stems from recently purchasing a Plug-in from Blade that tracks when it last saw a response from the device...... That train of thought around "Heart Beat" and no signal might be tracked over a 25 hour period and alert you to the idea that the "Battery" is depleted or DeaD.
I like the idea of using timing when a known signal did not show-up and alerting you to inquire and check out the device to see if it's battery is non-operational...
I had in mind on a few devices like water sensors to create a timer is the heart beat didn't reset the timer to send an alert for "Battery".
I have a few insteon devices where the battery level doesn't work reliably.... the timer watching heartbeat could be an alternative or backup approach

Sorry if this is dumb, I'm not on HS3 yet...
In HS2, this is very simple to do with the built-in conditional trigger.
Example:
Currently set conditions:
Group 1
Device: 1st Den Leak Sensor - Heartbeat has been off for at least 50 hours and 0 minutes
OR Group 2
Device: 1st Den Leak Sensor - Heartbeat has been on for at least 50 hours and 0 minutes
I use 50 hours to allow for up to one missed heartbeat. You could use 25 instead. Also, the group 2 (on) condition is probably overkill.
Does HS3 not have triggers like this?

hs3 has the same triggers, and that is what i use to monitor the heartbeat, or lack of heartbeatMark

maybe i should just change both on and off icons for the heartbeat device to the heartbeat icon? thoughtsMark

Anyway, I'm okay either way, if I ever get to HS3.

So I implemented the exact same mail event as tpchristian and I found I got a none stop stream of emails when I missed the heart beat since the event would evaluate true every time around. Is there away to generate a single email when the heartbeat is missed or better yet send emails on regular intervals say once a day until the device is fixed?

Create a trigger for the event that runs periodically, say once a day at 8am, that also checks the heartbeat.
