Hi,
New here and to python.
I know this is probably a stupid question, but does the e-monitor use internet allowances. I was under the impression that it only uses my Wi-Fi connection, not my actual internet connection, but I did see a line of code

Code:

#Amazon's website is used here for its reliablity. Feel free to change it.
  s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
  s.connect(("amazon.com",80))

What does this code do, and does it actually use/require an internet connection.
You are doing a great job.
