It worked, sent a notification, writes offline now

Easy setup. I poured some water on the sensor and got a notification. HAPPY ! .After one week, the hub (gateway) flashes blue quickly. I go to the app and it says my sensors are disabled. The gateway is 6 feet from the router. Yes, I could probably start over and set everything up again, but if the water sensor is unreliable, what's the point of having it. Planned to use it when traveling. I will come back for the same article. Hopefully 2 times is a spell. I will add. Update: With the 5GHz network off, the new one connected normally but turned off after 4 hours. I created a guest network and disabled 5GHz anyway. Connect Govee to the guest network. Worked fine for 5 days but now the blue light is flashing rapidly. After the hub is turned off, all sensors are turned off. Basically, it's unreliable. I'm looking for a system without a hub, with its own battery. I have a system that allows the router to run for 12 hours if there is a power outage. A sensor with its own battery also works in the event of a power failure. It's also funny that it's impossible to enable 5GHz WiFi.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No work
