    iBlinds Work Fine Until Server Is Rebooted

    I have installed 5 iBlinds (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C465D9G...roduct_details)
    and for the most part they work great. However I have recently discovered that if my HomeSeer server reboots or the service is restarted, I lose connection to all my iBlinds.
    To fix it, I have to go to each blind and power cycle it or reboot it.

    Anyone know why this is or how to fix it permanently?

    Actually just discovered that after a 1-2 hours they seem to have fixed themselves from the latest restart.

      Since these are Z-Wave and battery powered, I'd suspect a polling issue of some kind in the device info. Is there a way to wake up the device after a restart of the HS server? I'd try that instead of a power cycle and if fixes it, I'd dig deeper into the polling settings, particularly the interval.

        The iBlinds units are similar to Z-wave locks, in that they use z-wave beaming to receive commands (helps save battery power). The nearest neighbor to the iBlinds unit has to support beaming in order to get reliable communications.
