No internet=no plugins !

[Pierre]

My internet connection was down this morning, and I realized all plugins where pending and HS was then almost completely down!
My inside home-network was still ok, and I wish HS could still communicate with other devices (as Z-wave and security system)...
I do not remember such a problem with HS before the later 3.0.0.425 update, when plugins where initializing differently.
It is a major matter for me to have HS running without outside connection, and sure wish this could NOT happen.
I will run away from HS if any MyHS or other outside connection would become mandatory.

Hmmmm, I wonder..

@Pierre...

Here testing your scenario with Homeseer V.435.

Here utilize PFSense with two WAN connections (for failover).

I will disable the WAN in the next few hours and reboot both of the Homeseer servers and watch. Might just disconnect the WAN ethernet cables rather than disabling WAN links on PFSense.

Any dependant on the Internet plugins / functions on Homeseer should not shut it down...maybe just put errors in to the logging.

Tested today 25th of April, 2018 by disconnecting WAN1 and WAN2 from Firewall.

Shutdown Homeseer 3 lite and rebooted server.

Start up logs show all plugins (5) started fine here. Homeseer 3 Lite web gui looks fine.
