I suppose it isn't something general that works with the current drivers? Anyway, the goal is nr 3 although it will only look at the gaps since the last measurement, so not really gaps. > Power loss risk is easier. Buy a UPS.

Hm, did I introduce a fire risc? Old posts on the WF Forums from their engineering said that the old Air+Sky > sensors could store 90-120 minutes if they can't reach their Hub.

I thought I'd seen something like 1h for the hub, and I was assuming nothing for the sensor. Sounds good!
