Is there a means to monitor if Homey is online, e.g. from the Homey servers, and configure a message to be sent if it is offline? It would be very helpful in order to detect power or internet outages. Thanks. ---

I guess you are talking about a Homey Pro (because the Bridge is a cloud service and has it), then the answear is No. If your internet is down, the Homey Pro can not send a message over internet. If the power is down, it can not send a message. You can get a message when the Homey has startet, and you can get a message if the internet is up and running again (using a app called “Network check”) ---

You could let the Homey periodically ping a server and let that server/service notify you if there’s no ping, for example with this: > **[HealthChecks](https://homey.app/en-us/app/it.arturoiafrate.heathchecks-io/HealthChecks/)** > > Simple and Effective Cron Job Monitoring ---

The server (which can be on the internet, outside of your house) can send a push notification to your mobile phone (over cellular, if needed). Works great for me! (I have used both the default [healtchecks.io](http://healtchecks.io) service and a self-hosted instance on a VPS) ---

Yeah, a service outside of Homey can notify if the Internet is down. Then you got a ton of solutions. ---

Thanks for this! I have set a http post to [healtchecks.io](http://healtchecks.io), with email notification if it fails. ---

I use an APC UPS. Homey Pro, NAS and internet continue to work for 30-60 minutes in the event of a power outage. Push messages set up via Network UPS Tool.
