Shut Off Specific Service Alert

(1/4) > >>

zaragoza2:

Every night, I unplug all electrical appliances.  A few days ago, i updated my Obihai110 firmware.  Now, every morning, I receive the following e-mail alert:

"Your OBi device went offline. This could be due to an Internet service disruption, electrical outage.

In most cases, the OBi device’s connection can be restored by troubleshooting.

 Check out the OBiTALK Self-Help Guide for assistance troubleshooting your OBi device."

Is there a way to shut that alert off?  Thanks.

Yes, don't unplug stuff.  The OBi uses less electricity than a night light.  You can run it, and your router, all year, for less than the cost of a beer.  Turning devices on and off over and over is also causing unnecessary stress on the components.

Nice try.  And cute.  But that's not what I asked.  I asked: HOW DO I SHUT IT OFF!

I don't think you provided enough information. The OBi device by itself, even with Google Voice, doesn't send out alerts like that--at least I have not received any for the past 3 years when using the device.

When doing a Google of part of your question, I get a short thread below indicating that other service providers like Anveo may have some type of alert when using it with the OBi device--perhaps to alert the user in the event the system goes offline and using 911 may be a major problem (?).

See https://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=10105.0

So, if you have a third part service provider in conjunction with the OBi device, perhaps try there first. If you do want to elaborate, provide more details--and you appear like an a$$hole in your follow up comment to Steve whether you intended it or not.

SteveInWA:
Here is a photo of an actual OBi 110, plugged into a Watt meter.  It is using 1.2 Watts.

1.2W / 1000W per KW x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year, x $.12 per KWH = $1.26 worth of electricity in a year.

The same equation, assuming the device is unplugged for 9 hours per night, = $.78 worth of electricity in a year.

So, all this wasted effort over a forty-seven cent saving per year.
