Does this cover/discriminate between both wifi and data connections ?

Both will be treated as same.

Probably it will not work during Live Test.
Because as soon as you disconnect from internet your connection to Rendezvous will also get disconnected.
It works perfectly in apk :wink:

But OnConnect works also with Companion (USB), so so add that in the description.

Sure.
But it is one of those extensions who should be tested in apk :grin:

This extension has been added to my watch toolbelt! It also returns true for internet connections via bluetooth, not just data/wifi :), that is to say when its paired with my phone. Which lets me delete quite a bit of code from my projects :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hi @Horacio_Spinelli
Glad to know that you liked it.
But, unfortunately, Google is limiting resources for us (Extension Developers) so the extension is currently not comaptible with API 29.
However, I have fixed it and will release an update soon.
Thank you.

Olá, sou meio leigo no app mi2 ainda, como eu poderia informar no app se tem internet ou não? a principio gostaria de testar com uma mensagem text e depois acionar um arquivo html informando que não tem conexão

Just use OnConnect and OnDisconnect events.
