Dependencies should be installed by running npm install in the MMM-NetworkConnection directory

Guys, can someone also make a simplified version? No need for internet speed metrics, just the ability to ping specific ip address and return as “internet is working” either “network down”?

@slametps here is the Italian translation if you want to add it.

{
	"NETCONN_CONNECTED": "Connesso ad Internet",
	"NETCONN_NOTCONNECTED": "Nessuna connessione ad Internet",
	"NETCONN_MILLISECOND": "ms",
	"NETCONN_NA": "ND",

	"TXT_NETCONN": "CONNESSIONE DI RETE",
	"TXT_NETCONN_DESC": "mostra lo stato di connessione ad Internet"
}

@slametps I had long read at speedtest readme however I couldn’t figure out what to edit to have a different server selected as best/favourite server.

These are the details of the wanted server:

server url="http://speedtestrm1.telecomitalia.it/speedtest/upload.php" lat="41.9000" lon="12.5000" name="Rome" country="Italy" cc="IT" sponsor="Telecom Italia S.p.A." id="3243" host="speedtestrm1.telecomitalia.it:8080"

Currently, the module is using default test server provided by speedtest-net node module. You should modify node_helper.js to add your desired test server.
You can find how to add the options, in here.

@slametps that is where I looked at, but then I didn’t understand what file and what lines to edit.

The problem is that the default server looks to be located in the US therefore showing a very high ping and low speed results isn’t really what someone is expecting from the module. ;)

@slametps at the end of the day I found finally some examples around, but everybody is reporting that setting a specific server somehow is not working (anymore?).

The line should look like

var test = speedTest({maxTime: 5000, serverId : "3243"});

however this causes an error in node_helper.js at MM loading and the screen goes black until I end MM itself. :confused_face:
