Deco Scheduled Reboot not universal
TL; DR: I want to reboot ALL my Deco units, preferably on a schedule
UPDATE 2...FIXED? (see end)
I have a setup that covers three buildings, with the X50-Outdoor on Ethernet behind an OpenWRT router in Access Point mode as the "Main" device, and X55s in various places (two in one building, connected together by Ethernet, one in another part of the building with the X50). I also have a POE doorbell with a POE injector connected to one of the X55s connected to each other.
Building1 Wired: Cable Modem --> OpenWRT --> PoE Injector --> X50-Outdoor
[also wired: OpenWRT --> PoE Injector --> PoE doorbell1 ]
Building1: X55 in another part of building (probably not needed anymore -- originally to provide signal for a WiFi doorbell recently replaced with a wired PoE doorbell.)
Building2 Wired together: X55 upstairs --> X55 downstairs --> PoE injector --> PoE Doorbell2
Building3 covered well by X50-Outdoor
All three of the X55s can "see" the X50-Outdoor, but connected together it appears the upstairs unit primarily makes the connection back to the Main building. (The app is not precise about how clients actually connect when using an Ethernet backhaul between two X55s.)
I have always had the system on a reboot schedule, but this week I had trouble with a so-called smart thermostat. One of the troubleshooting steps was to reboot the network, which is "easy" using the reboot option in the Android Deco app. It didn't help.
Apparently that button in the app only reboots the Main device, because after days of trying other things, I finally used the app to go through and individually reboot each X55, and when I got to the X55 the thermostat was apparently connected to, it resolved the connectivity problem. (The thermostat reported that it had good WiFi signal, but wasn't connected to its manufacturer's cloud.) It happened to be the same Deco with the doorbell connected to it. The doorbell camera had been getting slower and slower to respond but I didn't suspect the Deco being the problem until the reboot made everything better.
Is there any way to send one signal that ACTUALLY reboots the non-Main devices? Is there a way to put the non-Main devices on a reboot schedule?
All the devices are reportedly on the latest firmware:
X50 Outdoor: 1.2.5 Build 20231121 Rel. 68541
all X55s: 1.5.1 Build 20240417 Rel. 52783
I am not certain but I think all the hardware is V1.
UPDATE: My brother has an X55 only Deco network, and his Deco app shows that he can reset all or individual Deco units. SO this issue MUST be a limitation of the latest 2016 firmware for the X50-Outdoor. What a disappointment! Will I get an update that gives me this option?
UPDATE 2 (10/28/2024): I noticed an update notice a few days ago. It's dated July, but I don't THINK anything prompted me about the update that long ago! Anyway, the latest firmware for the X50-Outdoor has the reboot schedule option, but it's not clear whether it signals all devices to reboot. I don't yet know how to confirm it's actually happening on schedule, such as at 3am, without watching the light on a device. Maybe I can get the uptime from a unit using a browser or terminal?
Newly installed:
X50-Outdoor: 1.2.6 Build 20240723 Rel. 10139
X55s: 1.5.5 Build 20240718 Rel. 44414
