Bot connection loss

[palmerich]

just checking (noob too) - did you try with a wired connection to narrow it down?

Kind regards,

I tested this by triggering a reboot of my firewall. It then takes some time for the messages to arrive after the connection is reestablished - here about half an hour.

I'm running TeleFrame on a RasPi 3A+, which has no wired connector...

I tested this by triggering a reboot of my firewall. It then takes some time for the messages to arrive after the connection is reestablished - here about half an hour.

For me it seems like the reconnection can't be reestablished at all.. Tried running TeleFrame over night (without toggling monitor or so), sent new photos but they won't get displayed. Sending "Hi" to check if the bot is alive also gives no answer.

Today I had another issue (which was related to the router failing) but the bot could not reconnect after re-establishing network connection. When the pi was reconnected, I ssh'ed to it and opened the screen session where Teleframe is running in. There was this error message
Failed to fetch updates. Waiting: 1s request to https://api.telegram.org/botTOKEN/getUpdates?offset=569122325&limit=100&timeout=30 failed, reason: read ETIMEDOUT

This looks like it tries to connect a hundred times and then gives up. Do I get this right? How can we handle this? I was thinking of a daily reboot of the pi or restarting teleframe or at least the bot, or a regular check for a valid network connection..
