Got home and can’t open door. Shows closed for like 80,000 hours. Stopped and clear cache. Help web page not available. Server issues?

Not saying this as a knock against the great folks at Garadget. I love my device and generally it has worked flawlessly.

I noticed that not just the Garadget device, but a lot of my other IoT devices rely on the cloud to deal with the nature of home networks and the difficulty to talk directly and securely with the device from an app. The cloud approach makes sense. It also creates a dependency, though. So it got me thinking about ways to create a redundant path back to the IoT devices.

What I did was add a Home Assistant server on my home network, and then integrate it with a lot of my IoT devices. This way when one cloud connection is down, there is a chance that my Nabu Casa connection isn’t.

It has worked so far, and gives me two paths back to my Garadget opener. Still love using the Garadget App: this just gives me another path.

Yes, when we added [MQTT support](https://community.garadget.com/t/mqtt-support/3226) it was to allow the advanced users to lose the dependency on the server connection. For most of the consumers this setup is too technical. For them the server connection is the only reasonable option.

Hi  
My notifications stopped working today. Any news on why this might be happening or is it a unique occurrence for me. Also appreciate any advice on how to correct this. I’ve tried logging out, deleting and reinstalling app, rebooting my phone, turning notifications on and off. Any advice would be appreciated  
Thanks  
Tom
