Hello,
Yesterday my VeraLite did something strange:
- I have e-mail notification when the vera Lua restarts (was reboot, but the box didn’t reboot, just the Lua restarted) and got the restart at exact 2:00am.
- In the morning I couldn’t use any of my android remote applications as they stopped working.
I was getting errors saying that the vera could not be refreshed or the command was not sent properly.
I could not use external, neither internal wifi network, so this is pretty BAD - simply lost control over my automated devices in the house!
To fix this issue I had to:
- In the AutHomation application search for my vera’s and re-add it.
- In the HomeBuddy I had to force close the application, clear the application cache and add vera to it again.
I did notice that search servers have changed from fwd1.mios.com and fwd2.mios.com to fwd4.mios.com
Any ideas?
Did MiCasVerde planned some outage and not informed anyone about this? If something like that happens again I would like to have control over my house via wifi at least… I suspect there was some change on the MiCasaVerde part as the restart occured at exact 2:00.
Unfortunately my LuaUPnP.log was rotated and I can not see what happened there.
I think it’s time to ask MiCasaVerde to develope offline version of the service with possibility of remote control, currently it’s very their service dependend and as well internet connection dependend. I would like to have my automated things reliably working and not 3rd party dependent.
For users that do know how to set the vpn it won’t be a security issue or even having https won’t harm… there are some techniques to secure communication.
