Remote reboot when network address of 169.254.37.109 shows up

[PE3ES / F4VTQ]

Is it in any way possible to restart the Hermes Lite remotely if this happens and the normal 192.168 DHCP-given address was not available ?

If not, it is always needed to go to the remote location after a power failure or a network failure.

In my case remote being the attic or the cellar ;-)

Thanks for any suggestions, except for a remote power switch ...

Although it's probably very dirty hack, I think you could remotely
reflash the RBF gateware than the HL2 should automatically reboot
(IIRC). I don't know whether there is some protocol command for reboot.

I know you are not interested in this solution, but I have cheap USB
chinese relay board connected to the internet router and it drives the
12V HL line, 50 W power amplifier and two coaxial relays to remotely
switch antennas

Hi Erwin,

The Hermes-Lite supports remote reboot. You can use hermeslite.py (hl.reboot()) or Quisk (config setting to restart HL2 on exit).

You may want to configure your HL2 with a static IP, but prefer DHCP. This will use the DHCP address when provided but fall back to a static IP that you specify if there is ever a problem. 

See this wiki page:

Thank you all for the suggestions.

I set the fixed IP + prefer DHCP.

I will need to think about a good fail safe strategy when using the HL2 unattended with all your input.
