Lost WiFi connection to GEM

Post by lowang » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:01 pm

Hi,
I guess it's my time to report lost communication to GEM, however it's still sending data to my Vera - counters are updated. When I try to connect to configuration page - no chance, also Network Utility reports timeout. Both LEDs are green, first also red from time to time.
Reboot via powerplug restores communication for a while but after disconnecting comm fails.
My unit is WiFi only


Any sugestions?

Try enabling COM1 Auto Reset in the Advanced section. It should make communication more reliable.

Set it to a value like 250.

The WiFi-only units can be a bit tricky. Have you tried connecting to it multiple times? It can take a few tries as you have to catch it between packets.

What's your send interval?
