My Trådfri gateway looses its connection with the Trådfri bulbs on a regular basis: more or less once a month. Every time this happens HomeKit reports 'no response' from all of the linked bulbs. Restarting the gateway fixes things until next time...
This is easily fixable, if I'm at home, as I just unplug the gateway and plug it in again - causing a restart. But if I'm away and the gateway looses the connection the lights stay on or off according to how they were at the time and no automations work. Which sort of negates the automation rather.
I'm considering moving to the Hue gateway as Trådfri bulbs are supposed to work (using ZigBee) with the Hue. But before I do this has anyone any advice as to how to keep the Trådfri gateway 'up'?
And, second question, is the Hue gateway more reliable?
