About

WANPulse is an open-source Home Assistant custom integration that works like a heartbeat monitor for your internet connection. Every 60 seconds (configurable), it sends test probes to servers you choose, measures response times, detects failures, and calculates real-time statistics - all 100% locally on your Home Assistant instance. Unlike your router's basic "connected" status, WANPulse detects micro-outages and gives you historical data to spot patterns.
