Thanks Derek, I was looking at the State entity and not the device. That worked.

Alert Name = "Device Down"

Message = "The world is ending, device is down."

Alert Delay = 1

Checker Conditions = "device_status equals 0"

Device Association = "hostname match *"

Entity Match = "*"

And that covers it. 

Thanks,

Derek

I have been trying a few combinations of the wiki examples for alerts and most work, but a simple down state keeps eluding me in defining an alert. Does anyone have an example they'd could share of it working?
