If IP address cant be reached (ping timeout) then..
Posted: Wednesday 28 June 2017 17:39
Oke, would be easyer to buy a new router but....
Using a Asus rt-ac68U, dont know whats wrong but once in a while the thing freezes and the only option is "pull the plug"
No cron jobs or scripts helping "Freeze" is a block of solid ice.
I am fairly new in domotics, searched the forum but vould not find it or (obvious) I am not clever enough to..
I am looking for a possibillity like...
If ip 8.8.8.8 (google) can not be reached for xx seconds..
AND
if ip x.x.x.x (router external ip) can not be reached for x seconds
THEN
.... Turn of "powerswitch" for 30 secs.
Basically..
I want to check if an externap ip address is still alive.
For the IT specialist among us.. somehow a watchdog cron job does not work in a freeze.
