Create automation that alerts by e-mail when the Internet connection is down

Hello

I have tried to create an automation that would allow an email notification to be sent when devices connected to google home go offline because the internet connection has dropped.
Unfortunately, I can't. Does anyone have any suggestions or a ready-made script?

Thanks

You could use the online state of one of your devices as a starter but I wouldn't rely on just that as devices could go offline for various reasons other than your internet connections. I would also add one or more conditions that additional items (preferably from different providers) be offline at the same time. Also, I'm not sure about email but you can send a push notification.

Example below

starters:

- type: device.state.Online

device: your devices - your room

state: online

is: false

condition:

type: device.state.Online

device: your 2nd device - your room

state: online

is: false

actions:

- type: home.command.Notification

title: your title here

body: your message here
