internet our here in the bush is flakey and goes down often. i have UPS on internet connection so have not looked out for gw1000 rebooting every 20 mins while running on battery. i will look out for it next time. *very* unsatisfactory if lack of external internet interrupts my local data

Already checked that. It's definitely the gateway that is losing its mind from time to time. If that's truly the case and it's not responding on the wlan, it's not likely that the reboot command from the driver will be received in any case. The smart plug may be the best way to go. Thanks for

The GW1000 has a built in heath check. It is designed to ping an Internet IP address in China. Some people are not happy about that. If the GW1000 can't ping that internally set IP then it reboots. There are other health checks like it needs to also be able to reach an NTP server on the

If it truly needs scheduled reboot.. I am guessing .. a smart plug on the USB brick?The again.. if WiFi is issue, smart plug may have issues too. I have a GW1000. it is on alll the time. but it is near one of my mesh pucks. jim On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 2:47 PM gjr80 wrote: > On

Another solution for remote reboot, or for anything else is to run WS View in Windows with the help of NoxPlayer. Then you simply remote into that computer. NoxPlayer allows you to have a full blown Android operating system virtual machine. It lets you run Android apps inside of Windows. You

If 'reset' does a factory reset, I think I agree with you - not too much value in that for me. OTOH, being able to reboot remotely, at least in my case, might be a benefit. While I understand the ability of Weewx and the GW1000 driver to attempt to reconnect to the gateway. Unfortunately,

Can't speak for Monit, haven't used it and only briefly skimmed an article on it a year or two back. Whilst the GW1000API has commands to reset and reboot the device I have not implemented them int he GW1000 driver and I have been loathed to do so. I really don't see much point in giving the
