We have a remote vacation property in Maine, with two buildings. I have a HS Zee with latest HS version running in one, and an ISY994 in the other, each with its own zwave network (can’t get zwave to reach between buildings, and wanted to see which device worked best in current versions as I’ve used ISY for many years and was formerly a HS user. Plus, thought HS might be better at zwave). Anyway...
My HS Zee (which has only the HS Zwave module installed) becomes inaccessible after a week or so of running, as has been reported by others. I currently have no events running and wanted HS primarily to be able to check in on temps and for leak detection, so I am not sure whether the Zee is “down”, or just inaccessible, but will be trying an auto restart event (perhaps each day) to help remedy this, starting today. But as a last ditch effort, I’m thinking of putting the zee on a wifi plugin module that is controllable via its own app, so that I can restart the zee remotely if the auto-restart strategy fails.
Has anyone tried something similar? And whether you have or not, does anyone have experience with wifi plugin modules and using them via an app, remotely? I frankly hate to think I have to resort to this, but other than a periodic restart, I have yet to see HS post a fix for the access issue others have reported, and need to figure out something.
