Hi Everyone,

I have a HomeyScript in Homey that pings (fetch really) Google every 1 minutes:

```auto
const response = await fetch("https://www.google.com", {
      mode: 'no-cors'

```

This is my crude way of trying to get a sense of my “Internet-health”. Once an hour I get the sum or errors that last hour, X errors (out of 60 tries). I have a dashboard with this parameter and I follow it.

In the beginning I thought that a bad value mostly had to do with Homey’s bad Wifi. Any hows, I went on vacation out of home for a few days, and Voila - the error rate was really diminished.

Ping Errors - Away and then Home again

What could be the reason to the low errors when I’m away and the spikes when I get home again? Devices that was away and then reintroduced was; 1 iPad, 3 iPhones and 2 Apple Watches. 2 Laptops were shut down during that period as well.

Many thanks!
