Hello, I live in Russia, and we have blackouts often in summer. I wish to check if there is electricity in my house, when I am outdoors.
Keenetic works always and it keeps working when power off and power on again. So, this might be a way for me to check electricity. I wish to ping my VPS every minute, and there on my VPS I will push online this info.
I hoped this could be solved with Keenetic "Internet availability checking (Ping Check)" but that is not fine enough for me. What is bad with it? If Keenetic could not ping some address, for example 4.5.4.5, it stops to provide internet to my devices. So, if my VPS will go offline sometimes, Keenetic will not prove internet. That is very bad and I think it is a bug. Why does this check of internet influences to Keenetic work? It might be host is offline, but Keenetic always think that Keenetic is offline and stops to provide Internet. It is a bug.
So, another way is just to ping my public IP address, that I have on my keenetic? But my provide does not give me public IP. Also I do not want to get own hostname in Keenetic zone. I just want to ping from Keenetic to my VPS every minute, and this should not influence to Keenetic work, just ping and all.
Could you advise something? May be, there is crontab and I can ssh to Keenetic, type my bash-script and add it to crontab? Or which options I have?
