OK - so i use Vera to control my vacation home. i have had issues with the cable modem and/or wireless router hanging up from time to time. I created a node-red script running on a Pi to check the internet every hour and power cycle the two devices (cable Modem then router). This worked fine, except the Pi got hacked…
someone explained that i can use the ping plugin to do the same. But for the life of me, i am having issues.
i have an IP address (DNS lets say) - if it fails to get there, i want to cycle the devices via a scene an smart switches.
i have the plugin set to the IP, at 60 seconds and the control is armed, normal. how do i set the scene? i want it to run when the sensor cannot ping the ip address…
any help is appreciated
