Internet Pi is an Ansible playbook and configuration framework for a Raspberry Pi (or similar single-board computer) that transforms it into a network-infrastructure monitoring and ad-blocking unit. The typical use case is: plug the Pi into your home network, install Pi-hole for DNS-level ad-blocking and privacy, and deploy Prometheus + Grafana to monitor internet connection quality, ping latency, speed tests, and uptime trends. The intention is both practical (reduce ads, manage DNS) and observational (track your internet link over time, identify drops, latency spikes, or service degradation). The project supports additional modules like monitoring smart plugs (e.g., Shelly), monitoring air quality (via AirGradient sensors), or monitoring Starlink statistics. By combining open-source monitoring, visualization, and infrastructure automation, it gives you a “set-and-watch” home network observability stack.

Features

  • Ansible playbook configured for Raspberry Pi to deploy Pi-hole for network-wide ad-blocking
  • Prometheus + Grafana stack pre-configured to monitor internet connection, ping, speedtest data
  • Optional modules for monitoring smart plugs (power usage) and air-quality sensors (AirGradient)
  • Easily customizable configuration via variables to enable/disable modules
  • Dashboard and data retention to show historical trends of connection quality
  • Self-hostable, lightweight, and suitable for home network observability and infrastructure monitoring

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
