I’have finally found an excuse to use my Akeru SigFox board, with some lines on Arduino, two libraries, and a Ethernet shield, you can monitor if your network getaway, or server, website .. what you want in fact, still alive, with a ICMP request. The akeru board is stacked with the Ethernet shield, the loop check is the defined IP adress respond to ICMP request, if not, the akeru board send a SigFox request to the SigFox network, then the callback function send a email alert.

Last week, I had the chance to attend the SigFox maker’s tour in Paris, it was very interesting to learn more about this amazing technology.
SIGFOX is the first and only company providing global cellular connectivity for the Internet of Things, fully dedicated to low-throughput communications. SIGFOX is re-inventing connectivity by radically lowering prices and energy consumption for connected devices.
After the event, everyone has got a Akeru Sigfox board with one year contract, (ready to send messages to the SigFox network), the board is available in snootlab website for 100€ and is compatible with Arduino,
