My rain8 module quits after a day or two. I have to constantly power cycle the device for it to work. In the log I get error message saying. Is there a controller at address 1. Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Usb ports are set to not go to sleep. Thanks for any help.

I have this same problem, although not on a daily basis.
The work-around I came up with is to plug the Rain8 power into an appliance module and use BLLogMonitor plug-in. When the error occurs, the log monitor triggers an event that turns the appliance module off for a couple of minutes and then back on.
It has worked quite well for me.
As far as the cause, I don't know.

Same problem for over a year
I had the same problem for over a year, made me crazy. If you are hard wired from your CPU to the rain8net, make sure your data cable is not routed alongside or across any other power source ( a 220v romex in my case), the electrical field will from time to time knock out the programming. I re routed my cable and it has operated flawlessly since.HS4Pro on Windows 10

Thanks. Yeah, it was an awful experience, but the simple cable re route fixed it all.HS4Pro on Windows 10
