I have lost hubmesh!

🛎️ Get Help
1

9 hubs, 6xC7, 3xC4.
All on 2.3.4.153.
The hub that does little more than serve up the dashboard has become unable to hubmesh dependably, if at all as the evening progresses.
I have restarted it.
I have saved a backup and restored it.
I have loaded and restored a backup from 3/19.
All seem to act the same way.
NetAnalyzer shows all hubs on the same IP as forever.

Next step, reboot all?

Is there a limit to the number of devices that hubmesh can handle?
I added one to the mesh yesterday.

The dashboard hub has most of the devices on the system attached, not to mention variables, virtuals etc...

It is a C7.

I would definitely try rebooting all devices if you haven’t already. Curious if you might have a count of devices & variables?

I cant count that high, hit the desktop app page and started counting the devices listed.
At 50, just starting into "e" i gave up.

It seems that my oldest and dearest C4, with 90% of the physical devices on its USB stick was hickuping again.
Recently it has taken to needing a hard reset, uno, pull the plug...
Today, it just became unresponsive, automations and devices worked.
:8081 worked, reboot turns up a bad database.
Reloaded from 3/19 then to todays 0230 backup.
Hub mesh seems to have healed, and all is good.

I have a C8 standing ready to power on, got to find time to move all those devices over.
And quick, it seems.

I would entertain any suggestions on the subject at hand!

TIA

I think that with the C-4, they will need to be re-discovered on the C-8. The nice thing thought is that if they are meshed, they can be moved all at once on your other hubs with hub mesh - there’s an option that was added to do that.

Looking forward to that.
This did spur me to make a new set of backups.

Time.
Gamazda.
Piano.
Time to destress.
OT.

If the c4(s) continue to hiccup it may be due to the storage chip failing as it has finite writes..... Seems that's been bricking some c4's in the past year. Just something to keep an eye on.

That would make sense.
Lost a couple of C4s in the same place.

On a fun note, 2xC4's have an uptime of 42 days each!

Definitely update the hubs is the 1st thing as C8 needs to have 2.3.5 and on that version you maybe able to back up and restore the biggest hub.

If your combining then export your rules ect and import them to the new database.

Updated all hubs, removed the problematic C4, moved its USB dongel over to another C4, moved the database over to it.
Installed C8 as a replacement for that C4, installed the database from that hub.

Working great, except for hubmesh child devices.
Cannot seem to get them to show on a third hub, hubmesh shows the parent device, no children found.
Same issue with global variables.

(Use caution if the Hub Mesh device is a parent device with child devices in use on this hub.)... not sure how this relates, i did RTM!

TIA.
