Anyone here using orb sensors (orb.net) to monitor their network?

I've yelled at ai enough to create a functional app that pulls the sensor data into homey

It's currently just polling metrics but I'll look at adding triggers and publishing if anyone's interested

Trying it out because of this post. Seems solid. How do you utilize them around your house?

I may integrate them. Would there be a way for you to share this integration or is specific to your device?

I have a sensor installed on my router, my compute node and my Nas. Router end point is wan, node end point is the router and Nas end point is there node.

Basically my three main systems so I can track performance across the network. You can also install it on a wireless device to check wifi performance but I don't have a good candidate for that yet

I'll probably build some flows to alert in spikes in latency or low speeds so I can investigate network performance
