It constantly sends itself a signal and if it fails for a half hour (example) it would alert you
that tells you either the wifi is down or the power is down


Failsafe that apex is working on currently being tested soon to be released

What do you guys think

Although at the same time, i believe a ping from an external server wouldnt be able to tell the dofference between a power outage and an internet outage. So as was mentioned in your other thread, theres a chance you lose internet connection but apex continues to operate as normal. Using an outside ping would result in a failed connection and report a problen which may cause you to freak out when you may not have to.

Yes the only workaround would be to have a battery backup on the wifi and on the apex base unit

It would also be every half hour or so, so small temporary wifi outages won't affect it
