flic buttons disconnect and won't reconnect after no interaction for a while

[MoritzSkowronski]

Hi,

I wanted to use 4 flic-buttons for an installation, where I use the java implementation of fliclib-linux together with fliclib-windows on Windows 10 machine. The buttons are being used all the time during the day, however there's no input during the night. It now sees as if they are somehow disconnecting during the night (although the disconnect event isn't printed out in the consolse of the java application) or as if the fliclib-windows is crashing. In that case the buttons all produce the red light, however they won't automatically reconnect and I can't add them using the scanner for new buttons. Windows itself is still showing me the devices as being connected in the bluetooth panel.

After a restart of windows the buttons do normally connect again. Could you help me in figuring out how to debug this?

Hi.

Does it always happen at night time rather than day time?

Anyway, if you restart the Flic daemon (and your java program) when the problem happens, does it work then? If not, it's definitely a bug in Windows. If it works, it might be a bug in the Flic software.

Which Windows build version do you have?

I'm not 100% sure that it only happens at night time. Today I noticed that apart from stopping to work altogether, one or more buttons can become very slow. The output of the java program is then:

{button-id}: Disconnected, Unspecified
{button-id}: Connected
{button-id}: Ready

I'm running Windows 10 Anniversary edition on this machine:

In the device-manager, my buttons are listed as:
f018..
f018..
&
f022..
f022..

I didn't have any crashes since my first post so I couldn't check for sure, but I think only a restart solves the problem.

Update: I now switched to using haxwithflics on a mac and the application runs without any problems or connection losses.
