The GW1000 has a built in heath check. It is designed to ping an Internet IP address in China. Some people are not happy about that. If the GW1000 can't ping that internally set IP then it reboots. There are other health checks like it needs to also be able to reach an NTP server on the Internet...again this is internal and cannot be changed. If any of these health check issues occur it reboots. There is a thread over on wxforum.net where someone was attempting to run a GW1000 that was not connected to the Internet, because they were going to use a ham radio and solar panels and battery storage to run the thing. The project at first did not run well because the GW1000 needs Internet for these health functions. The project progressed and spoofing the NTP server and such were required in order to maintain the GW1000 running so that it wouldn't constantly reboot. https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40768.0
Therefore...I see no need for a reboot function. If the GW1000 has poor connectivity to the Internet it will reboot automatically. I'm starting to suspect a bad GW1000...or you have poor WiFi coverage. On Tuesday, February 16, 2021 at 3:03:17 PM UTC-5 jbatch...@gmail.com wrote: > If it truly needs scheduled reboot..
