YW, Ian  
Most probably Homey is not really offline every time

Yup that’s the way 😁

I made one, using the NetScan and Chronograph apps.  
NetScan monitors the connection to your router.  
Flows:  
When connection down  
Then start timer X with a duration of 10 minutes

To filter out short hickups:  
When connection up  
Then pause timer X

Connection is down for 10 minutes:  
When timer X has finished  
Then restart Homey
