Meet Nowshin
A little companion.
An always-on home.
The microcontroller lives on the desk: it keeps its own face and voice, runs its own network tools and wakes the desktop, all without a server in the middle. When the desktop is awake it lends the extra work a 160 MHz chip cannot do.
Always-on
Device-owned wake & network tools
Two modes
Standalone alone, bridged when the PC wakes
Private by default
Status only — no addresses, no accounts
A household device, not a public service
Nowshin is invited-only. Its Telegram tools are role-checked on the device itself, and the household console keeps its numbers — addresses, signal, affection — behind a private door.
This page is the public half: whether it is up, which mode it is in, and what it can check for you.

Uptime and power state come from the device's own heartbeats. IP addresses, signal strength and affection stay private to the household.
Public Network Diagnostic Suite
External network diagnostic tools · Ping (RTT), DNS resolution, Reverse IP (PTR), Port probe & TLS inspection
What it can check for you
The companion runs these from its own network stack, so they still work while the desktop sleeps. Send the command to the bot in a private chat — this page only lists them.
Reachability
/ping <host> [count] [size]
ICMP echo with loss, jitter and timing from the device
/dns <host> [resolver]
Resolve a name on the device, optionally via one literal resolver
/port <host> <port|range>
Check a port, or name the services on a small range
/tcping <host> <port> [count]
TCP connect timing when ICMP is blocked
/http <url>
Fetch a URL and report status, timing and TLS state
/wake [profile|mac] [ip]
Wake-on-LAN to this desktop, with a watch until it answers
Path & health
/trace <host> [max_hops]
Trace the path to a host, hop by hop
/netcheck
One-shot verdict: gateway, internet, DNS and TCP 443
Local network
/lan [page]
Sweep the local /24 and page the ARP cache with vendor hints
/arp [page]
Page the neighbour cache without sweeping
/wifi
Survey nearby access points with signal and security
/netinfo
The device's own IP, mask, gateway, DNS, MAC and link stats
/netstat
Health over time: gateway and internet loss, outage history
Wake guests get the wake commands only; the rest are partner tools. Nothing on this page can run a check.
Always-on device tools
The ESP Rakib (Rano) owns role checks and lightweight Telegram commands. In bridge mode, the host relays requests; it does not replace the microcontroller.
- Partners + wake guests
- /wake · /wol — magic packets and online watch on the ESP
- Partners only
- /say · /jokes · /coin · /roll · /pomodoro · /status · /cancel
- On-device networking · partners only
- /ping · /dns · /port · /http · /trace · /tcping · /lan · /wifi · /netinfo · /netstat
- When the desktop is awake
- the same tools, plus the host-only ones (/tls · /lookup · /doh · /neigh · /discover · /speed · /conns), /usage (the Claude session) and the Windows actions
- Wife only
- /love — manual affection control
AI chat, weather, cloud syncing, and native Windows actions still need the host. Dashboard buttons use the cloud queue; Telegram device tools can work while the PC sleeps. Cloud status may be stale when the host is offline.
