Watch your home network from a device of your own that stays on, such as a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, a computer with Docker or Home Assistant, and get the alert on your iPhone with Guardian. The PingKit Agent for Docker and Raspberry Pi is free to run, and so are its status and the last 24 hours of its timeline on your iPhone. PingKit is a network scanner, Wi-Fi speed test, ping test and uptime monitor for your own network: 19 tools, free, no ads, no account. Is it your Wi-Fi, or is it your ISP? PingKit Guardian finds out, with a 1-week free trial. It tests your iPhone, your network, your router and the internet beyond it, and says in plain words where the problem is and what to do. Uptime monitor and internet-down alerts: Uptime Watch checks one website every hour free, ten sites or TCP ports every 5 minutes with Guardian, and notifies you when one goes down or recovers. The companion Mac Agent, while awake, records when your home internet went down and came back and alerts your iPhone. Devices on your network are found automatically and named from what they announce. Ask "Why is my internet slow?" and get a real answer.
