humm....

thanks for reporting. two quick questions:

a) and when that happens the TV is not powered off (from the wall), right ? b) is this a recent issue, i.e wasn't happening before ? (if TV is NOT powered off)

thanks in advance

It's the first time I saw it.

Tv in standby and plugged all the time.

[AntonioMeireles]

strange. some more debugging:

a) no power saving features in your wireless router / AP right ? b) could you check TV's network settings and confirm that it hasn't lost IP i.e. that it has a valid IP lease?. c) if issue persists could you try to connect TV to wired network and see if it goes away ?

thanks again for your patience!

@Seexelas

disregard questions above, for now. This may just be a side effect of a bug on my side. Just give a try to homebridge-vieramatic@3.1.3 that i've just published and report . hopefully will get rid of this issue for real.

Thanks!

[Seexelas]

OK great thanks, i'm updating and I will keep you informed

[Seexelas]

So logs are clean. What is weird is the tv was declared not reachable for homebridge with no errors in logs...

I restarted the whole server, now it's working !

[AntonioMeireles]

@Seexelas

so, your issue seems fixed, right ? will leave this open. feel free to close this issue as soon you're confident that it won't come back!

Thanks again for your patience!

[Seexelas]

It's working :) I'll come back to you if i have any issue, thanks for the support
