Is there a way to programmatically check the status of Spark Cloud Service to which core connects?
For Example when we get Three RED blinks which means “The Cloud is inaccessible, but the internet connection is fine”. Can this be checked from the firmware code?

The core is hitting the DNS server url of “device.spark.io

See commit: https://github.com/spark/firmware/commit/4a35a33cdf47b5396a7f8c3930a054ac28d45e40

Maybe some from of ping or using Spark-cli, spark list will hit the API server and show the list of cores.

I believe if you see 3 Red blinks, there might be some intermittent internet issue.

Try this:
