Auto Reboot

Any way to automatically cause the system to reboot like at 3:00 AM in the morning?

Yup. There's a nice little app in HPM that will schedule a reboot. But if you have to do daily reboots I'd say there's something else going on.

What @brad5 said. However, you don't need to install an app to reboot. You can also do it via Rule Machine, and set the trigger to be the time of your choice.

For the action, simply send an HTTP POST to:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub/reboot

Just to emphasize, that has to be an HTTP POST (and not the more common HTTP GET).

Does this work if Hub Login Security is enabled?

No harm in trying it out.

Should have mentioned that I have Hub Login Security enabled and neither:

http://192.168.0.25:8080/hub/reboot

nor

https://192.168.0.25:8080/hub/reboot

worked.

No, it will not. You will need to generate a login cookie using your credentials, and use it during the HTTP POST action. This is most easily done using @dman2306's Hub Rebooter app, which is linked to below, and available via HPM.

Hi. I am hubitatally challenged. How do i get this app installed/loaded on my habitat? Thank you.

I would start with the following.

This video is a bit older, so probably less accurate than the documentation. But it does show the basic steps in an easy to understand way.

And you might look into installing Hubitat Package Manager as it will make it easier to find and install other user apps. [RELEASE] Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) -- HubitatCommunity
