Hi,

Power has been going off to whole place so yes, it’s done it at least once the past 3 days, all power to property goes out for anywhere up to a few mins and then its back on and everything comes back up etc.

Nest link shows a green LED when you press it which indicates connected to know knowledge, if it’s blue then it has lost connection and needs re-setting up /pairing so that all looks ok, I’m kind of thinking its the programmer in the boiler not accepting any settings until it has day/time etc.

I have a nest protect (smoke detector) and that has a battery back up so remains online.  Weirdly the other day it was showing OFF and when checking status it had orange icon next to WIFI but I could access it from my mobile and when I connect to my router, it shows it connected so bit odd, it has since corrected itself and shows online and all ok.

That keeps a history of power failures so hence I can tell when it goes out.

power failure has occurred minimum of once for 5 out of the last 7 days, for no more than a few mins each time.

Looks to be the downside of getting power overhead as opposed to underground :(  it’s never been like this, usually it happens once every few months as a rough average.

I wonder if they will start to run power cables underground rather than overhead.. have to see if I can find if any plans to do that.
