Hello Everyone,

I want to make a script that simple pings a local ip adres in my netwerk one time to check if device is connected. I have already the unifi app that checks if de device is connected only for my flow is the app to slow with syncing. I need a fast response time that only will be trigger once from the flow. Has someone the ping command I can use?

You should probably look at the [Net Scan app](https://homey.app/a/com.netscan/).

It’s not possible to ping from Homeyscript, though.

…for me this script works to check, if printer is online, but not for all devices

const url = http://…;  
try {  
const response = await fetch(url);  
blnBack = true  
} catch (error) {  
blnBack = false  
}  
return blnBack;
