I am having disconnecting wifi problems. The WiFi has been fine for months, now it keeps disappearing after only a few hours. I want to reboot the SBMS0 but without losing the data. How do I do that?

WiFi can be rebooted by turning WiFi OFF (0) and then back to ON (1) in the WiFi settings menu. Power cycling the SBMS0 will not do anything extra related to the WiFi.

Witch SBMS0 version do you have ? also if you have the old version have you update the WiFi firmware ?

There is maybe some other WiFi device that may connect to SBMS0 and SBMS0 WiFi in access point can not handle more than one device (assuming you have) the original WiFi AT firmware.

II thought power cycling would be better since it has been stable for months. I am not sure what to disconnect to cycle the power. How do I tell what version SBMS0 I have? I only have one device connected to wifi.

Also I have been disabling the wifi and turning it back on, but it seems to last for only a couple of hours

There is nothing that will improve by you power cycling the SBMS instead of just turning the WiFi ON/OFF from the menu.

The old SBMS has the 4 buttons connected in a single row and the new one has them arranged as 2x2 that will be the easiest thing or check the diagnostic screen to see if is hardware 0.2 or 0.3

Has anything changed recently on the way you use the WiFi like on a different device or have you accessed the SBMS0. The original AT firmware is not that great but I have no control over that as it is made by the guys at espresif the people that produce the ESP32. The new SBMS0 version uses a firmware made by Robert that can work both as access point and as client and in client mode it should be more stable.

Are you connected at all times or you just connect to check the status from time to time then disconnect ?

Interestingly a reboot did solve the Wifi problem. I only connect one device to it (its the old SBMS0), and like I said it worked fine for months. Then something went wrong and it would stay connected for only an hour, turning off the Wifi would only solve it for another hour and it would disconnect. So I did cycle the power, and now its been connected now for at least 48 hours.
