4GEE Wifi Mini Connection Issues
Options
Hi,
I've recently bought and set up a 4GEE Wifi Mini to use in an unoccupied house to be able to use Tado smart heating remotely to make sure the heating works (temperamental boiler I'd like to keep an eye on).
I've connected a TP Link wifi extender with an ethernet port to the 4GEE wifi, and use this to connect to the Tado Internet bridge as it needs a wired connection.
This works excellently... until it doesn't. Every day the Tado internet bridge loses connection and the Tado system goes offline, the only way to fix it is to go to the house and reset the 4GEE Wifi Mini router. As this is currently taking a lot of time out of my day, is there any known way to fix this? Apparently it’s impossible to reset the EE router remotely which is very unhelpful.
Cheers!

You could get a remote power switch connected to HomeKit or Alexa and plug the router into it, set it to turn on and off for 5 minutes every morning? That might do the trick.0

Hi Johnny,
I’d just come to that conclusion myself! Currently googling whether smart switches hold their schedules locally...0 -
Yeah I was about to add that. I think (emphasis on think) HomeKit devices have a local schedule but not 100% sure.0

Or just use an old fashioned electromechanical plug in timeswitch . . .
