Hello,

Thank you for the KB-Post. Would a simple device with www.google.com and one Ping Sensor do the trick? Or as an alternative, use the "Common SaaS"-Sensor, because it also checks the availability of various websites, if all are "unavailable" it's likely that your internet connection is down.

best regards.
