It works as advertised usually but a few comments.
- The IP that it pulls using the automatic "Find my IP" is your public IP on the WAN device before your router, like an ADSL modem(PPPoE) or cable modem and so the IP it discovers is not necessarily the router IP unless the two devices are in fact one. Like Telus@Home router/modem combo. If your power goes down then it will alert so not a big deal but to be clear it is not the router that it monitors but the modem.
- The alerts were not reliable. I would set for a one minute update and sometimes the widget would change to a random setting: off, on, half/half.
- Only once did I get a taskbar notification that my power was down. Without this function working 100% it is not recommended to use this product until fixed.
- I mentioned in an above post that you could probably monitor any connected device on your local network but I have not tested this and I do not know if it is yet possible with this application. To do this to work you would need to configure a port on your router to forward the ping request to the selected device and this is not a procedure for novices.
Summary: The inconsistent notifications to me mean this application is not ready for production use just yet. Good start developer but more work is needed.
My device: Galaxy Nexus 4.04
