What’s your #1 tip for fixing something that’s not working in your smart home?
As a smart home beginner that was extremely helpful! Thanks 👍
I’m a mechanic at USPS and most of our fixes are rebooting the machine. Sometimes the machine loses communication with each other and rebooting it bring its back up. Either rebooting the whole computer or just the software itself. Most of our daily preventative maintenance requires us to reboot everyday lol
