  1. I don't have Starlink. I do have a WISP service, which isn't officially satellite but it uses a satellite to get internet from a tower a mile away. So it's similar in that manner (uses satilites in some part of the chain). Is this something I should look into for me as well or is the issue you are mentioning just Starlink specific.
  2. All my other services work except the C4. The only possible other thing would be my routers blocking the C4 intermittently ? I suppose that's possible. I'll try to see if I can find logs for my router. The system diagnostics screen does show a working internet connection. A Ping to the device would always work on my network since , as mentioned, I can always reach the EA5 intranetwork. It's to the outside that doesn't work. The one or two times I have logged in to composer right after noticing the issue, the internet connectivity started working right then. I'll keep trying but typically when I catch this I don't exactly have time to go diagnose right then and there as I am doing something else. That's why I was looking for logs. For example logs have helped me solve the DS2 doorstation connectivity issues in the past.
  3. Since my driver is 259, I only see up to 259. I would have to install 264 to see the updated change logs. Or at least, I don't know how I could see it otherwise. Are you able to post what you see between all the iterations of 259 and 264.
  4. My control4 ds2 is on version 259 and has been for a while now. There are still complaints I could have, but it mostly works minimally OK at this point. I was looking at driver updates this morning and noticed that the newest version is 264. I can't seem to find a change log anywhere to see if it's worth going through all the possible issues an update could cause. The only change log I could find anywhere is in composer itself but since mine is 259 the logs only show to 259 in the driver. Can anyone paste the change log from 259 to 264?
  5. So no one has any suggestions on where errors like this may be logged? I've not realized this is just some kind of intermittent issue. It doesn't just lose internet. It's off and on again all the time. I use Alexa all the time to interact with my C4 and the same times Alexa won't interact with C4 is the same times I can't connect to the C4 with the app unless on the same wifi. (alexa and everything else in my house still works and has internet) Also, is there a way to refresh network, or similar, through programming?
  6. Already have it set as Google. If there are network issues, which of the logs that I can access in system manager could possibly show the errors. Is there one that would log a failure to reach either c4 or internet for any reason?

  8. Confirmed just now. Expires December 2024. System last checked in 1/6 (today) Interesting thing is I didn't restart it since posting, and I can confirm access to internet is working again this morning and 5g connection with app is too. What could cause this? Is something possibly making the ea5 lag and cause intermittent connectivity issued?
  9. Unfortunately I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I wasn't paying attention to it. Anything you would chase down if this was the case tho?
  10. Nope, it renewed last month. Remember , after restart, I can still connect with 4sight.
  11. My control4 ea5 started having internet connectivity issues. I haven't fully diagnosed what works and what doesnt. But things that I see don't work is Alexa , pandora, and control4 phone app connectivity when not on the local network. If my phone is connected to my wifi the app connects no problem. I also don't have problems connecting to it with Composer. So it's not a network connection issue. It's just the internet. Restarting the EA5 solves the issue. Before it would solve it for long, (happened a few times now in last month) now it only solved it for a day. Any ideas what kind of thing could cause this. Or ideas of what logs to look at to see what could be causing it? Thanks!
  12. Thank you!!! Looks like exactly what I need
  13. I have a gate controller that occasionally needs the power reset. For a bit of time, I used WEMO plugs that I spliced at the gate controller itself, and that worked 95% of the time. But as most of you know WEMO is pretty garbage at always working and if there was some kind of hiccup in wifi, I would have to go manually reset it (which defeats the purpose, like when I'm out of town.) Based on some advice from guys on here, I put in a Shelly relay instead. The flexibility and functionality of it is EXCELLENT. As far as I know they are known to be reliable as well. HOWEVER, I just immediate ran into a limitation that makes it useless for me. It turned off within a few hours from overheating. I guess it only runs till 95 degrees. It gets to 115+ here in AZ! (The switch is protected from the elements, but not temperature). What are my other alternatives? I would prefer not to go back to relying on WEMO.....
  14. I didn't consider your Shelly solution at first because it looks like it's a eurpeon product. However, it doesn't look like I would have too much of an issue getting them sent to the USA, so it looks like it may be the perfect solution! Do you have an opinion on which driver solution is better? I would guess you like Domaudeo better since you use it at your house? Do you know if I need a relay like the Shelly 1 Pro for the drivers or do they interact directly with the Door/Window sensor just fine without the middle piece? Thanks
  15. I appreciate the reply! I think this won't work as the bigger issue is that the driver is pointing to a proxy that no longer exists (the programming for the driver isn't on the actual driver). So getting it on the controller doesn't help. I'm still glad you replied as I'll put your technique in my pocket for other times!
