Rule to reboot hub

[didymus]

Is it possible to create a rule to reboot the hub?

I’d like to automatically reboot every night in an effort to reduce hub slowdowns.

It is possible if you disable security. Not something I am willing to sacrifice. Instead I would recommend the Hub Rebooter app by @dman2306 :

[RELEASE] Hub Rebooter App

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…

It is a great app.

You can use this command via RM if you do not have security enabled on the hub. If you do use the app posted above.

Have you considered moving some rules to Simple Automation?
Specifically, the ones that are used many times during the day?
The ones that are relatively simple and control switches/outlets?

Yes, I've been recently reading about the advantages of using Simple Automation over Rule Maker in an effort to avoid hub slowdowns.

avoid hub slowdowns

Something that has helped me is keeping an eye on my log. See how much you hub is logging, and decide if you really need it. I have turned all logging off, unless it is something new I am setting up, or troubleshooting.
