My current setup:
C7 hub running 2.2.7.126.
Approx 23 Inovelli red dimmers with firmware 1.48
5 Inovelli black switches with firmware 1.20
5 Inovelli fan + light switches with firmware 1.36
2 Aeotec Range Extender 7s
2 Aeotec Smart Switch 7s
1 Aeotec NanoMote Quad 7
While I had just done a post elsewhere about how every now and then it would take about 30 seconds for a light to respond to a command that has to go through a rule (vs. a switch that directly controls a light) I suddenly have something much, much more serious going on.
All of a sudden many lights are responding either extremely slowly or not at all. The only thing that I can think of that happened yesterday is that my cable company rebooted my modem when I was activating a cable box replacement from them. I have my hub at a fixed IP address, so I don't know why that would have any effect at all, particularly when I press the physical switches.
Except for one of the fan + lights, pressing the main physical button does turn on/off the lights (and fan if applicable). For that one fan+light, pushing the physical button does nothing and I don't see it registered in the logs either. I do have another switch that only has a main and neutral that is supposed to control that fan light too. When I push that physical button I see see the LED turn on/off, but it doesn't turn on the light either.
Here is a screenshot of the log when I push the hall side switch that is only connected with a line an neutral but is supposed to turn on the light portion of the fan+light:
When I use the config/favorite button on the other Inovelli red dimmer switches (which has to be controlled by a rule) at first they weren't working at all either, but now they seem like they are working.
When I tell Alexa to turn lights off or on it may work or may not. What's weird is that Alexa will say usually "ok" but then nothing happens. Here is a screenshot of what happened when I told Alexa to turn off my den light - She said "OK" and, as you can see, an off command appeared in the log, but it didn't turn the light off.
What is also weird is that I had that light on and when I tried to turn it off via the dashboard I also saw a log event, but just got the hour glass. After a while the hour glass went away. When I tried it again it worked. But, I just tried it a third time as I was typing this up and, again, it is just sitting there with the hour glass. Here are the screenshots showing the press was recognized.

Just for comparison, I was able to get the light to turn off from the dashboard when I tried it a 4th time. Here is a screenshot of the logs for when it worked with the dashboard:
Anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it? Any idea why the one fan+light isn't working even from the physical switch? (And, BTW, that switch is in the same room as the hub, so it certainly can't be a distance issue).
BTW, I did do a controlled shutdown of the hub. After which I unplugged it and then plugged it back in and brought it back up, and that didn't help.
Like I said, I didn't change any rules or software or anything for days and it seemed fine yesterday morning (except for the random 30 seconds delays mentioned above - but nothing like this almost complete collapse.) But, how could rebooting the modem affect pushing the physical buttons and rules that go through physical buttons?
