I have a sensor that is showing UP when the connection / circuit is actually down. I am not getting an alert or indication showing down. The configuration is inherited from the parent group. All other sensors in that group do show down. Any ideas ?

Go to the sensor -> settings -> Traffic specific ->Connection State Handling, and make sure the "Show alarm when disconnected" option is selected rather than "Ignore disconnected status"
