Battery powered Pi and remote control
Posted: Monday 30 December 2019 8:31
Hi,
I did experience a few crashes of my domoticz running on raspberry Pi 3B Plus (and stretch), and this is really annoying since last time it occurred I was travelling and thus heating of the house was down (and as I was away from home, I couldn't fix it, leaving reste of family without heating..). I don't know why such crashes occur (and the PI doesn't want to reboot.. It seems not even reconnecting to network (through RJ45) so system is probably corrupt in such cases..
As I don't know, I thought it could be due to some micro power shortages and I decided to order on aliexpress a kind of UPS with battery but also equipped with another RJ45 to enable WOL of the PI : the X725 from suptronics ( like this: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/40003929 ... 201603_55 )
But only after ordering, I could read this github project https://github.com/Tristan79/x720 where developper seems very disappointing by the X725 family considering that device can "burn" the PI.
Do you have any experience with this X725 product (or X720, etc.) ?
Is there any other device equivalent to such hat and mroe reliable ? (something bringing UPS feature for my PI and enabling a way to remote control my PI to wake it up if switched off) ?
Thanks for your advice,
