It sometimes happens that homey loses contact with the network. I would like to have a function. Where I can keep an eye on if Homey loses network connection. And then restarts. ---

Not really. There is no IF statement for losing network, so you need to do it from the router (app). But I wouldn’t do it. Why would you restart Homey if it lost it’s connection? Just wait for it to regain connection. ---

I don’t know if Homey itself can register when Homey loses the connection, but you may test it with this app: > **[Net Scan](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.netscan/Net-Scan/)** > > Watch devices on your local network by scanning for TCP ports ---

Yes, NetScan works perfect. @Jan_Godeau Keep in mind there’s a big difference in “No network connection” (Homey doesn’t respond to ping), and the app saying “Homey is offline”. The latter is a longtime bug, and most of the time it means _**only the (web)app can’t connect with Homey**_ With NetScan you can monitor the connection with the router, and start flows by connected / disconnected events. I use it this way, but start a 15minute timer when the connection is down, to prevent Homey from rebooting by hickups and short outages; When the connection is up again within 15m, the timer gets paused; Only when the timer finishes, Homey gets rebooted. The timer did never finish here in several years 😛 ---

Thanks, thanks, my question is not related to “homey is offline” messages, I actually never incurred that, or restarting Homey, it is really about the router not working and needing a restart of the router so that my internet works again (not only relevant for Homey but also for the other devices at home that use internet). I will try to get netscan to work, thanks for the suggestion ---

ok, this is the flow I now created (sorry in Dutch) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/9/a91c0355c39890fb045a8d466f6c7e1dba436601.png) both devices are in my wifi network and I gave them a static ip address now when they go offline, this should trigger the flow with a check after 10 minutes that both are really offline should work right? any suggestions?
