Hub Link - Link to Hub not working

Worked for about 12 hours and then stopped with Read timed out errors on the Link to Hub side.
I uninstalled and installed again on both apps/hubs and I'm still getting the timed out error.

Maybe DHCP issues?

Negative. All reserved addresses. The UI is accessible at the expected address.

I'm sure you've rebooted your hubs, maybe your switches etc.

Have you tried HubConnect?

Ya, I rebooted both sides. I'm doubtful on the switch. It worked for a while before it quit. I'm wondering if the hub version mismatch is the issue. One is beta the other is public version.

I haven't used HubConnect, I'm all native for this.

You might give it a try, it's very powerful.. maybe be a good workaround to your issue.

Unfortunately I'm working to remove all custom apps if at all possible due to performance and stability problems.

Gotcha, well good luck - I got nothing else, maybe you have something funky going on with your network (broadcast storms, looping the usual festive stuff).

My 3 hub setup has been running really well - I too try and run things as natively as possible but for some things like HubConnect they just seem better than the available system app . You could temporarily install it just to isolate the issue unless you know for a fact it IS HubLink/Link to Hub.

when i reboot the hubs they make me go through registration again.

You got the Auto Reply from support when you sent them a message, right?

Yes. And each time I have to register again, I do not go through the whole process. I click the continue button from the hub and then I'm redirected back to the main menu. BTW, both of these hubs were already registered. So this just started after I have brought out the secondary hub to start using it as a second hub in production.

Rebooted this morning, no registration message. Link to Hub added virtual devices as expected. I assume support addressed it when I put in a request, I just haven't heard anything on it. Or else magic.

Let's see if it keeps working.

That symptom set is starting to stick to my brain... reboot fixes it.

There's another symptom set where the person must go through the whole process only to get the "Your hub is already registered" message.. but that repeats. That's the one that needs Support to click the magic button... at least that's what I'm remembering.

From Bobby at support a couple weeks ago:

If the message to "register your hub" pops up again, please go to Settings, then "Hub Details" and then click "Update Time From Browser." Then go back to Settings and Reboot your hub. We have identified an issue with some internet providers blocking the time updates. Our engineers are investigating, but updating the time and rebooting the hub should make it go away, for now.
