Hello,

We have a remote server (a CCTV device) that we'd like to monitor to determine if it is up or not. A method to detect this would be to call an https page and look for a valid response. Can anyone suggest how we could do this with node red?

Thanks  
James

Use an http-request node with suitable credentials ? (fed by a repeating inject node ?)
