Review on Connect Monitors Connectivity Required Necessary by Sean Bouchard

Update 4: 07/15/2021. As announced, Keep Connect has been working for me for about 7 months. I set it to turn my LTE router on and off once a week and it fixed occasional connection issues with ease. There are no complaints at all. Update 3: 01/27/2021. In a previous update, I mentioned that you can set Keep Connect to turn the device on and off automatically at a specific day and time. It turns out that this is not entirely correct. On Tuesday I put mine on auto-power every 7 days at 10am. One would think that every Tuesday after that the electricity would be cut off at 10:00 am. In reality, however, it appears to switch power supplies for seven days after the previous power cycle. So if Keep Connect had a power outage on Saturday (unscheduled) due to connectivity issues, the next auto-scheduled power cycle will occur seven days after Saturday, unless of course there is another unscheduled event at that time. Update 2: 1/9/2021 - My LTE internet connection had some glitches this morning which Keep Connect detected and turned off my router in response. Turning it off and back on restored the connection. The text I received when this happened is attached. My original 4 star rating has been upgraded to 5. Update: 05/01/2021. I have a Keep Connect setup to automatically turn my router on and off every Tuesday at 10:00 AM. This feature appears to be working as advertised. I received an SMS from them informing me about the automatic reset. I use this device to maintain an LTE based internet connection in a remote cabin. Before purchasing this device, I tried several different but similar devices, none of which worked. for more than a few months. These other devices were more brute force. They simply turned on the device according to a predetermined schedule. Keep Connect differs from other devices in that it is designed to connect to a Wi-Fi network and monitor for specific connectivity issues. It should then cycle the connected device in response to this connection issue. It also has the ability to turn off the power on a schedule. The included configuration documentation and the information provided on their website is quite sparse. When you connect your Keep Connect device for the first time, it creates a new temporary Wi-Fi network for you to join. to set up the device. When you connect to this temporary SSID (I was using an iPad), the web browser automatically opens the configuration page. On this configuration page, select "Configure WLAN" and then on the next page select the SSID of the WLAN network that the device should join and monitor. You must also provide a WiFi password. You can also set a mobile number for Keep Connect to send texts on certain events, e.g. B. if the power supply to your router is interrupted. I left all other options on the main configuration page at their default values. I suggest that you also select the Advanced Configuration option at this point. The Advanced Configuration section lets you choose a schedule for shutting down and shutting down your device, among other options. If you later want to change any of the configuration options, you'll have to press the main button on the front of the device and configure it from scratch. However, this is not a difficult or time-consuming process. Once the configuration is saved, you should receive an automated text message from Johnson Creative (assuming you entered your mobile number) letting you know that the internal setup is complete. It also provides a code that can be used on their website to remotely query your device. None of the information returned by this feature was private, but you should be aware that Johnson Creative is communicating remotely with your Keep Connect device. The information returned is essentially the date and time of previous power cycles and the timestamp of the last communication session with your KeepConnect device. I intend to update this review once I know it works consistently as advertised. The reason for my original 4 star rating is that I currently lack this information.
