Hi,

My internet connection has heart palpitations once or twice a day but reconnects happily after a few seconds.
My CurrentCost bridge however is frozen until I get up into the attic to unfreeze it (turn power off then on).

As you can imagine I'm inclined to do that less and less and have gaping holes in the consumption profile.

Any answers?

I guess what would do the trick, is a device that auto power cycles every ten minutes or so. That is to say, every ten minutes it turns the power off, then turns the power on immediately. If the device was frozen then it would unfreeze and reconnect. So I don't need to detect a frozen status per se, just force a power cycle. Anyone know anything for that?

0watt when did you purchase your bridge. Latest bridges should reboot if posts are unsuccessful.

My new NetSmart went to Frozen during the night and did not recover or send an alert email

My old one had no such issue.

My bridge went offline at 4AM (PST) and a reset of the bridge did not help. When I switched the bridge to a different router port then it started working which is similar to the problems a couple of weeks ago.

And 10 minutes later, ~100 bridges have suddenly become unfrozen, maybe CurrentCost is reading the forum again?
