Hi all, I’ve been running OpenHab on my Raspberry Pi2 for quite some time now, but had to re-image the SD-card a couple of times now due to card corruption. Now that my OpenHab / Home Automation is growing and I’m becoming more reliable on it, I’m looking for replacing the Raspberry for a more stab…

@NCO and others interested, I did convert over to Seabios on the chromebox. It solved the kernel update issue, and I’ve had the unit with 20+ days uptime. I have seen issues with crashes and hangs though, but I haven’t had time to investigate the few times it’s happened. Another recent conundrum …

I am running Openhabian + Mosqito on a RPI3 with an Toshiba 32GB ultra SD card for now about 1.5 years without any issue related to data corruption. eMMC as alternative to SD card makes no difference, this is the same device only as BGA to be soldered to the board.

Not yet, and that unit has been stable for quite a while. I have another cn60 running lubuntu 17.10 that hung doing some compiles just this morning. I wish I had time to investigate since these are nice boxes for the money. I will keep using them and do a watchdog reboot with the arduino as …

Check out Virtual Here, works with Linux, Synology, Windows. Works with a RFLink, not sure if it would work with the Z-stick. Only 50.00 for unlimited devices on a single server. Allows unlimited clients. The trial will allow you to fully test it out.

[image] jcf6288: Check out Virtual Here Thanks…it is very interesting but a client/server architecture for this simple use-case seems a bit overkill…but, will consider it an option should the ser2net/socat not work out reliably.

Seems like a server client setup with ser2net/socat

[image] jcf6288: Seems like a server client setup with ser2net/socat Yes, working good so far. Not a separate server (product) required. Just a simple utility. Minimal requirements and resources. Using systemd to keep it connected. Had an old Beaglebone Black that I put Debian Stretch 1GB on …
