Today almost every premises has its own wireless network with one or more access points.
Unfortunately in my case, it happens from time to time that the wireless signal drops completely. The only way to restore the wireless access point is to reset it or to give it a power cycle. If this happens some wireless devices loose their connection completely. In order to restore the situation a notification is essential. Sending a “ping request” does not work, as the access point’s wired interface is still online.
So, we have to monitor the wireless signal from the access points and therefore a solution has been implemented to monitor the wireless signals, makes data available as a MQTT message, publish the data to Domoticz and send a notification, if data is missing for more than 10 minutes.
