availability-tester

An availability tester made for displaying the status of HTTP(s) servers on a Raspberry Pi connected to an Allo Mini Rainbow. The allo mini rainbow will display whether a site is online/offline and will show text when a status of a website changes. It just does normal http(s) requests and sees if a 200 OK is returned.

Installation

1. First install the required Rainbow HAT package from here.
2. In availability-tester/run.py you can change the SITES variable and the BRIGHTNESS variable to suit your needs.
3. Execute run.py to run the tester. Stop it with Control-C.
