[UPDATED] HTTP Presence Sensor

So if I understand this correctly, in a round about manner, I could use this as a trigger to tell me when my home WiFi has dropped out.

Rational:
I have a separate WiFi router that occasionally locks up and the WiFi dies. All wired devices are not affected. HE is not affected.
so.... If I use the "HTTP Presence Sensor" to constantly ping a SonOff device I have, then if it goes uncontactable it'd likely be because the WiFi is down and I could then power cycle the Zigbee power outlet that feeds power to the WiFi Router. Rebooted router = restored WiFi :slight_smile:

That should work, right ?

EDIT:
It does exactly what I thought it would and I've now got a "recoverable WiFi" setup.

Big thanks @jwetzel1492
