What happens during power and WiFi outages
Calgary weather can cause power interruptions. Here is how the system handles them gracefully.
01
Auto-resume on power return
When power comes back, the control box boots up and resumes your last active schedule automatically. No action needed from you.
02
Settings preserved
All your schedules, scenes, zone configurations, and preferences are stored in non-volatile memory. Power loss does not erase anything.
03
WiFi outage handling
If WiFi drops but power stays on, the lights continue running on their last programmed schedule. You just cannot make remote changes until WiFi returns.
04
No manual restart
You do not need to open the app, press a button, or reconfigure anything after an outage. The system handles recovery automatically.
05
Surge protection
The control box includes built-in surge protection to guard against voltage spikes that often accompany power restoration.
06
Schedule accuracy
The system clock resynchronizes with the internet after reconnection, ensuring sunset/sunrise schedules stay accurate.
