    re Internet connectivity check

    has anyone used a reliable method to check that the HS3 system still has Internet connectivity ...

    The desire is that based on that check, then other events/actions can occur both with connection and no-connection.

    If there is a good method, do you mind sharing it ..

    Don, there are several ways one can verify internet connectivity (there might be others that I've missed);
    • Jon's Network Plug-in
    • Jon's Uptime Plug-in
    • UltraMon3 Plugin


    I use Jon's Network PI with two events one for Internet Up and the other for "Internet Down", using SONOS PI for announcements and Pushover PI for notification to iPhone(s). Mike

        You can also just ping Google in a recurring event.
        Code:
            Public Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)
        
                Dim Google As String = "8.8.8.8"
                Dim intR As Integer
        
            intR = hs.Ping(Google)
        
            If intR = 0 Then 
                 hs.WriteLog ("Internet", "OK")
            Else
                 hs.WriteLog ("Internet", "??")
            End If
        
            End Sub
