The hub already knows when my Internet is out (assuming lack of cloud access is caused by my Internet not working, which is going to be accurate at least 99% of the time) but, as best I can tell, I can't use the cloud connection status in a rule where it'd do me a lot of good as a proxy for "is Internet connected or Internet out?" (Not that it matters for a feature request, but the goal is to shift audible notifications from my building door buzzer from cloud reliant Alexa announcements to my boring local z wave based chime whenever the Internet is out).
I can ping my domain of choice proactively of course, but I hadn't realized the hub must already have this info somewhere until I saw the warning text regarding cloud connectivity when my Internet was down yesterday — would rather just have access to the existing info than ping the net myself
