Currently there is no way for users to reboot a probe other then disconnecting power. If this is a capability that people would like to have, we could look into ways we could make that happen.
This makes me wonder: what problem would this solve? You obviously couldn't use this feature if the probe was down, only if it was up; but then why would you want to reboot it? :-)
Well, there have been several cases of probes being up but not reporting any data. At least one of those cases was solved by a reboot :)
Good point, but that's not the expected behavior :-)
Of course fixing all the issues that causes such behaviour is the ultimate goal, but since every piece of code contains at least one bug, i can see some use for such a feature for those people having their probes not in an easily reachable location.
I agree, but my argument is that in normal circumstances this isn't useful. Also, we can always force probes to reconnect (by kicking them out from the server side). Besides, if we implemented this feature, we'd have less incentives to solve the bugs :-) Cheers, Robert
Having some form of remote control over one's usb power would also do the trick ;)
