I have a few MIMOlites for a several years now controlling some garages and driveway gate. The garages all have alarm on them which is integrated into HS so I don't use the inputs on the MIMOlite just the relay. But the driveway gate I added a contact sensor and use both the input and the relay on that one. My problem is after a few months the input sensor stops updating on the MIMOlite and a power cycle the MIMOlite and all goes back to working. The relay has never had an issue it continues to work it's just my gate shows always closed when this happens.
Anyways I'm getting tired of this and reading the forums I found old posts about the same thing from Smartthings, Vera and others. Problem is I'm not sure if this is due to a faulty old version of the MIMOlite (mine are probley 3 years or more old) or if this is an old firmware version (not sure if there is an update i can perform) or what. I really didn't want to purchase a new one and find out 3 months from now that it too stops responding to the input. I also like that it's line powered not battery as I know I could put a battery Z-wave door sensor out there and not use the MIMOinput. I really just don't want to worry about a battery device out there.
Anyone have any insite on this issues and can confirm that a newer unit wouldn't have this issue.
