As a user, I want commands sent to wireless binary switches and devices to be reliably done so that I am guaranteed that they will perform as requested.

Acceptance requirement

It's done when wireless connection stops dropping so frequently as seen in the logs.

Solutions

Increase Wifi signal power.
Replace Wifi smart outlets with Zwave ones.

Current solution: Increased WiFi signal transmit power to 14dB. No more TP-Link outlet signal lost in the last 2 days. Closing for now.
