Domoticz-Pinger-Plugin

Python plugin that pings and shows response times for network devices

Key Features

• Creates two Domoticz devices per specified address

  2. Custom sensor that shows milliseconds per ping.
• When network connectivity is lost the Domoticz UI will optionally show the device(s) with a red banner
