Went on leave for 10 days - the day after I left the Pi running home-assistant went down - so nothing worked, pool pump, lights, all down.

I could VPN into the house, but couldn't connect to the Pi, didn't respond to pings, SSH down, etc... going to need to find some solution to that so it doesn't happen again.

That was my next thinking - expensive though for a device that'll probably get used very in frequently... will give it some thought. Thought of scheduled restarts, but also might not work if there's a total system freeze.

Would like to try and figure out why it actually shutdown like it did.... I'll go through the logs this evening.

Does anyone have any issues setting up sonoff B1 bulbs? I have 3 that I cant get to work. I've tried via android, iOS, and in their respective AP compatibility modes as well. No success. I can get the bulbs to seemingly go into pairing mode and compatilbility mode (3x 2s on and off or 6x 2s on and off) but no actual connection to the bulbs can be made. Am I missing something basic? I have 4 other slamphers that I setup easily, but the bulbs are just not connecting. It cant be 3 dud bulbs.

Additional monitoring, metering and exporting of logs - not just average consumption.

EDIT: oh and a limit on the load that can turn off the device if it gets too high

Is there a way to tell which pow I have?

Can't say I have - is that the older white bulbs?

Anyone ever had any experiences with Sonoff switches burning out, setting alight, etc...?
Just thinking now, replacing switches with T1s without really knowing what the odds are of these things catching fire.

They're very basic, so unless you're way overloading it I think your chances are about the same as with a standard switch.

There was a post earlier (either this thread or another) about a guy using a POW on a geyser and the POW didn't make it.

You'd have to run a bigger relay and then I'm not sure if the power monitoring will work.
