Worked immediately for my Nest WiFi router (Model AC-1304) without having to define any hostnames. I would like a feature to also monitor each Nest mesh / WiFi repeater point in the network (ie. allow the user to configure the IP addresses of each of the points).

This would be cool if it worked... I have a onhub that is used as an access point. I have set both onhub.here and testwifi.here hostnames for my onhub's local ip and can access several of the status URLs from my browser, but this tool still doesn't update with any information :/
