Trying to Debug Hub Lockups

Well, i have 6 Hubduino boards. And every time I get a lockup I'm still having to reset all of them by power-cycling them. Not many custom drivers and none of the devices that use any of them were doing anything at the time (custom LED light strip notifications stuff like that). I'm also running Device Monitor, Cast Web, Ecobee Suite, Event Ghost, MyQ lite, WebOIPi (for one relay). That's it.

The oddest thing is that this last one happened when literally nothing was going on in the house. I had been away for several days at this point, so no motion activity or whatnot. No scheduled activity was taking place or took place for almost 11 hour prior (away lamp turned off the night before) or scheduled to take place for 10 hours later. It really couldn't have been more quiet which is so strange. If a lot had been going on, I could understand it. The only thing it might be is the ecobee. As anyone who has one knows the system has been on the fritz for several weeks. If that API was inaccessible it might have gotten itself into a loop trying to poll the server.

Do your 'random' lockups tend to be noticed when you wake up in the morning? I have had a few and notice a trend that we always identify the issue in the morning. My hypothesis is that the hub has degraded over the better part of week of run-time, and then the middle of the night cleanup/maintenance routines might push it over the edge. Just a theory...

I don't have too many custom apps in common with you, except possibly Device Monitor. Are you running this one?

If so, it might be worth removing for both of us to see if it is the root cause. I know some newer apps have been released recently that may do a better job.
