An observation to try and crowdsource experiences and pinpoint where the IC bug is.
My house occasionally has the electric power blip off and on. It is an immediate power drop and right back on. I am right between two or more grid feeds and when the utility switches feeds or a storm hits one feed I get the power blip on the grid switchover. I have UPS batteries on equipment I don't want to reboot during the power drop.
When the power blips the IC wireless link freezes and to get it back I need to power the IC down, wait a minute, and power it up.
I had the Engenus WiFi bridge that Pentair was shipping with the early IC. And the thought was the Engenus box was the problem to losing the wireless link. So I replaced the Engenus Wifi link with the 900MHZ wireless link.
The 900MHZ link freezes the same with a quick power blip. And I have tried disconnecting both sides of the 900MZ link to power it down and reset them. That does not bring the link back operational.
It takes a power down of the IC and a reboot and then wireless is restored.
I now believe IC is not fully rebooting after the quick power blip and its embedded wireless server crashes while the rest of the system operates after the power blip.
I am now thinking about how I can force a reboot of the IC without the wireless link or put the IC power on a UPS battery.
Anyone else seeing this behavior after a power blip?
