I have .5 reserved in my router for my znet. If the cable modem or router crash for whatever reason, the router will not come back online because something messes up the ip addresses. The problem is the z-net.
So, after the router restarts, I have to power down the z-net, then toggle the router power, finally plugging the z-net back in.
I have a Zooz power strip so from any remote location I can re-boot any of the IOT devices with an event as long as the z-net is up and running. But how do I power up the z-net remotely?
Better yet, how can I solve this dilemma? If I remove the reserved IP from the router and make it static in the z-net then something else might grab .5 in case the z-net reboots. If the z-net ends up at a different ip address then I have to search for it to access remotely. OR... since I have a z-net with HS3 on a mini PC can I just force the miniPC to a fixed address since the z-net really isn't seen, just HS3.
The screenshot shows a few of my events that work well, but at some point, I need to reset the z-net. Thoughts?
