Method to Shutdown and / or Reboot VeraPlus

Is there a more elegant method to shutdown and/or reboot a VeraPlus? Maybe something hidden in the UI.

Currently I’ve been cycling power for reboots but it seems crude and perhaps technically dangerous to the file system.

Thanks.

Settings > Net & Wi-Fi > Reboot

Not a terribly intuitive location, IMO.

You can create a reboot scene that runs LUUP: os.execute( ‘reboot’ )

Thank you,

Settings > Net & Wi-Fi > Reboot is what I had hoped for.

Can I get a link to the luup reboot code please Don
Thanks

Think that is it.

I have two scenes which I use as required:

One to reboot the Vera

os.execute( 'reboot' )

One to restart luup

luup.reload()

But if the internet is down , you will have issues with rebooting vera.

This is a Lua code someone posted somewhere which I use. It first checks if the internet is up and running if yes , than it reboots, this scene runs daily.

local ping = os.execute("ping -c 1 8.8.8.8") if ping ~= 0 then luup.log("Auto Reboot: Network down. Aborted.") else luup.log("Auto Reboot: Network OK. Rebooting in 2 seconds.") luup.sleep(2000) os.execute("reboot") end

What is the use of rebooting controller if internet is down?
I use ping sensor and a scene to reboot the router, which seem reasonable for me, but is something happening to the controller when offline that it would be better to restart it?

Indeed , not to reboot the vera when the internet is down, but to reboot it once a day when the internet is working.

I had a scene that rebooted the controller every night since otherwise vera became very unstable. One night , my internet went down , vera rebooted , but stayed in some kind of loop , because vera couldn’t connect to the internet. After I went home ( after a week) I had to fysically unplug the vera. This problem could have been avoided when the vera hadn’t rebooted when the internet was down.

Hence , now vera reboots every night at 0300 , but first checks if the internet is OK , if yes vera reboots , if no vera doesn’t reboot that night.

OK, right, my mistake.
I don’t have such problems with stability (but I try to keep controler “lean” i.e. avoiding too much plugins), so probably not a solution for me.
But I can use it in a scene for rebooting modem and this way remove a Ping sensor plugin.
