ZBBridge-P remote reboot

We have 87 x ZBBridge-P in 87 different apartments all on their own wifi. The majority of these hubs have at least 2 x SNZB-05P water leak sensors on them.

These seem to disconnect a lot (59 of 279 offline at present) and we have to go to each apartment to power cycle the ZBBridge-P to get the sensors to re-connect.

Can a feature be added so that the ZBBridge-P can be remotely power cycled via the eWeLink Web interface please?

Thank you.

I support the incorporation to ZBBridge-P of that feature in the same way that it already works and is implemented in the Zigbee Ultra Bridge.

Thanks.

I’ve been suggesting an auto reconnect or remote reboot on the app feedback a few times for the support. If I have 20 ZigBee sensors connected to the Pro hub and 19 or all 20 are offline but the actual pro hub is still online, how the hack doesn’t it know to do something on it’s own. Why do I have to go and power cycle it, which always solves the issue and they all reconnect.

By plugging Zigbee Bridge Pro into a Micro that will be available via wifi and thus have on/off capability
 $526,5 Expensive? Yes, but it’s better than running around the building every few minutes all year round.

Why Micro Wi-Fi and not Micro ZigBee? For obvious reasons
 range and autonomy from any ZigBee bridge. :slight_smile:

Hello Morgan, I appreciate your reply but $500 :astonished_face: to partially fix an issue that shouldn’t even be an issue in the first place as others have commented. Thank you for the suggestion though. :+1:

I agree that a reboot option should be implemented, and not just in this one device, but in every device technically capable of it.

The $500+ figure is based on what their website lists for a 10-pack times 9 = 90
 You wrote that you have 87 units, so that’s why it’s so expensive. Maybe if you ordered 90 units, they’d offer a better price. But I’m guessing the price will still be too high. :slight_smile:

I don’t know what type of business you run, but since you service 87 apartments, a $500+ investment doesn’t seem that painful compared to walking around and manually operating it.

$500 divided by 87 apartments, divided by twelve months, equals monthly per apartment $0.4789272030651341 That’s just under $6 per apartment at one time


It’s a prosthetic device, but it’s either that or Sonoff should add a “reboot” option
 although knowing the speed of change and the general process of adding new features, I’m afraid it will either take months/years or not happen at all.

Unless an alternative firmware exists that would have this option and could be installed.

As for ZigBee sensors disconnecting, I’ve also experienced this, and sometimes I still notice it occasionally.

Exactly the same setup as yours: the bridge and the 05P. In my case, only physically relocating the bridge helped, as the 05Ps were constantly losing signal. However, rebooting the bridge didn’t help; only manually pressing the button on the 05P helped.

Check your signal levels for those 05Ps. Mine has to be no higher than 70-74, otherwise it starts disconnecting.

Well the fantastic news is that the latest firmware update to the ZBBridge-P (2.7.0) seems to have sorted the issue. Of 286 devices only 15 are offline and that is because the hubs have probably been switched off in those apartments. :+1: :+1: :+1:
