I see that there is a Netgear App which does what I want to do but I don’t have a netgear router. What I want to do is get a notification if I lose internet access. I can then automate to power the router off and on. This usually resolves the issue. Can anyone advise how to detect if the internet connection is lost from Homey Pro. ---

You could try Net Scan if you have a Homey Pro > **[Net Scan](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.netscan/Net-Scan/)** > > Watch devices on your local network by scanning for TCP ports ---

But you need a local way to get the information in that case. Push notification will not work without internet and cloud access. ---

I check 3 websites with Netscan. If all three are unavailable, I consider my internet as down. ---

You wanted to automate rebooting the router. That is something different then getting a notification. A notification is not going to happen without Internet/Cloud access. But switching of a plug powering your router and switching it on a minute later is possible because Homey can do that without Internet access. You can also change the led ring to flashing red or something like that and maybe even get Homey to say something (if you have a Homey with a speaker). But that is only useful if you are at home. ---

Thanks for that. Now thinking about making sure it doesn’t go into some loop turning the router off and on while the router is resetting. Is there any particular logic using the Numvar that you use to prevent this? > ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/user_avatar/community.homey.app/peter_kawa/45/45413_2.png "Peter\_Kawa") | [Peter\_Kawa](https://community.homey.app/u/peter_kawa) Regular > April 10 | > > - | - | > ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/user_avatar/community.homey.app/peter_bittner/40/16698_2.png)Peter\_Bittner: > > Could you share the flow please?

You can also use logica http GET to [https://yoururlofwebserver.com](https://yoururlofwebserver.com) met headers none and body none is equal to status-code 200. Then you know your webserver is online. ---

I use it separate of Homey. I do a ping to my wan-ip. No coupling to Homey. You can try the app “Smart presence” and and use the ip of Google for example. ---
