anyone else have trouble with their thread devices (nanoleaf bulbs and strips) not reconnecting after a power outage. It’s always a big pain getting the thread network back up and running. I now own 3 HomePod minis thinking they’d work even better to keep reliability but if anything it’s been worse
 
Do you have a UPS or other power backup for your network devices and HomePod minis?
I have a UPS on my router, my Mac, my big HomePod and my Apple TV. None of these devices have thread though. I'm just wondering why thread doesn't seem to bounce back after an outage. I always have to go around resetting all my HomePods and hoping for the best. So far I think luton and their clear connect tech is still the best wireless tech on the market for smart homes.

No issues with my minis recovering after a power failure and I have no UPS anywhere in my home. When the power goes off (which it does quite frequently around here in the summer) everything is off. My minis come back with no issues including thread control for my NanoLeaf bulbs. Regarding Lutron, I agree their tech is rock solid. I have their plug in lamp dimmer/switch which extends the range another 30 feet from the bridge to the blinds and various dimmer switches.
