Since 0.5 update disconnected things need some sort of trigger to be reconnected

[madb1lly]

Hello,

As mentioned in #iot, since the 0.5 update I've noticed that for any of my native WebThings which get disconnected, e.g. their battery runs out, a gateway reboot or scan for new Things is needed before the disconnected WebThing will reconnect.

For example:

• Native webthing running on batteries
• Batteries run out of energy
• Thing becomes disconnected
• I replace the batteries

Thing should reconnect immediately, but since 0.5 it doesn't, instead:

• Reboot gateway, or scan for new things
• Then the Thing is reconnected

Nothing obvious in the logs as far as I can tell, at least not from the thing-url-adapter (Highlights and Macros were looking for these WebThings but couldn't find them).

Cheers 🙂

Closing, since you're no longer seeing this behavior.
