Abstract
A computer implemented method and apparatus for reporting power down events in mesh nodes without a backup energy storage device. The method comprises reporting power down events in mesh nodes without a backup energy storage device comprising: listening, by a powered node in a network, for a heartbeat of a neighboring node, wherein the neighboring node does not have a backup energy storage device; pinging the neighboring node when a heartbeat is not heard within a predefined time period; and sending, by the powered node, a message toward a head end server indicating a power down event of the neighboring node.
