Power outage and now new behavior..

[partcrash]

I have had my Vue 2 for close to an year now. Very useful and I have spent countless hours using it to optimize my power consumption – the tool in priceless. During the year I have lost power a few times and every time either the Vue has recovered on its own or it I had to reset the WiFi settings through the app. No problem there.

However, I lost power yesterday and I have tried to reconnect the Vue 2, but no success. I can go through the Wifi reset menu in the app and it would complete successfully. However, the monitor stays connected for roughly 20 seconds then disconnects. After 10-15 seconds reconnects and the disconnects again after 20 seconds. Rinse and repeat. Every time it disconnects it also beeps. Nothing has changed in my Wifi environment. I have restarted my router, I have connected the monitor to my phone hotspot- same behavior. Wifi signal is strong. It seems that the behavior is unaffected by which wifi network it connects to.

 

Pinging it constantly results in this:

and so on…

 

Can I get some help please? I love the thing especially when it works 🙂

 

I did not see a hardware factory reset… I also tried deleting it from the app and adding it again- same behavior.

 

Thank you

I just realized that after the drop of connection and the beep the time to reconnect to the wifi is exactly the same as when simply powering the device on… therefore I am thinking it is just stuck in a 30 sec or so reboot loop…

I am running firmware Vue2-434 and my Serial ends in 75D0

 

Thank you

After short chat with support it appears the device got damaged during the power outage and needs replacement.

Thank you for timely response and resolution.
