device-status

device events on network status changes

How

first, npm install device-status. then, with one host...

var assert = require('assert');
var ds = require('device-status');

ds("127.0.0.1").on("change", function (host, status) {
    assert.equal(host, "127.0.0.1");
    assert.equal(status, true);
});

or with many hosts...

var assert = require('assert');
var ds = require('device-status');

ds("127.0.0.1", "www.bing.com").on("change", function (host, status) {
    // host will be either `www.bing.com` or `127.0.0.1`
    // status will be either `true` or `false`
});

or with a custom probe interval (default is 5s)...

var assert = require('assert');
var ds = require('device-status');

// probe every 10s - which is  10000ms
ds("127.0.0.1", 10000).on("change", function (host, status) {
    assert.equal(host, "127.0.0.1");
    assert.equal(status, true);
});
