I’ve read several posts where people talk about rebooting the hub automatically. Can anyone shed some light on how this is done? I lose connection with Alexa about every 10 days and the only way to recover seems to be a reboot of my hub. So I would like to automate that weekly.

Thank you. I have not installed anything like that to date but I’m certainly willing to give it a shot. Should be a learning experience.

How to install custom apps This link above should help explain it.

Highly recommend using this app. I reboot weekly just because I can. :grinning: Just for info I run mine at 3.30 am. My daily backup is at 2.15am. This way if I forget to take a backup after I've made changes I won't accidentally lose any changes I may have made the day before as I may if I rebo…

Before I can install it I have to figure out how to copy it. I copied what I think is the source code into the habitat editor but when I try to save it I get this error. Maybe I’m copying the wrong thing? expecting '}', found '' @ line 157, column 2.

OK..now I have it. I"m good. When I went to raw on the git site everything seemed to work ok.

When you go to the link to the apps you want to select apps, rebooter.groovy then raw and copy and paste all the contents of the raw groovy file that comes up (URL direct to the Raw file here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-rebooter/master/apps/Rebooter.groovy )

Yep.. Thank you. Got it. I'm saving it now.

Once you get it saved then follow the Loading Your User Developed APP instructions to have it show in the app list. ▶ Summary And once that is complete be sure to go in to the app and configure it. Cheers!

All configured. Now we wait and see how it works out. I'll start with the soft one and see if Alexa stays connected. Thank you. If it helps me out, I'll for sure donate.

[RELEASE] Hub Rebooter App Custom Apps

I know some people use RM to reboot their hub nightly but this requires you to have hub security disabled. The only option I've seen with security disabled it to run something on an rpi. I built a small app that does it all self-contained to the hub (I really didn't want to setup an rpi just to reboot my hub!) You can find the app here GitHub - dcmeglio/hubitat-rebooter it's pretty straight forward, specify the username/password to use to login to your hub and the time of day to reboot. Hopefu…
