Hubitat driver to monitor Internet connection

Hubitat Internet Connection Monitor

Version: 1.0.0

This is a user application for Hubitat to report on whether the Internet connection is up or down.

The application exposes a child presence sensor:

• When the internet is up, the presence sensor is set to present.
• When the internet is detected as down, it is set as not present.

Logic

Checks

A series of HTTP requests are attempted, and then a series of pings. As soon as one check is successful, the connection is detected as up.

Optionally, a latency error threshold can be specified in the configuration. When the response time for an HTTP request or an ICMP ping exceed the error threshold, the check is considered as failed. This allows to detect situations where the connection is still up but very deteriorated.

The list of URLs and hosts are configurable and rotated after each test.

Check loop

When the connection is up, tests are run every 5 minutes (configurable). When it's down, they're run every minute (also configurable).

Upgrading from version 0.x to 1.x

Version 0.x ran as a device driver. When upgrading to version 1.x, you will want to add a user app, and select "Internet Connection Monitor". You can then copy your configuration there, and this will create a new, child presence sensor.

You can then delete your old device driver.

Credits

The original code was initially based on achaudhari's ping presence sensor.
