The WC8 controls A/C based on occupancy. I did port forwarding in TP-Link Deco M5 router. It worked fine for about a week during which I was in the condo- remote access worked fine too.
Once I left the condo (I don't live there), the next day the controller became not accessible remotely via open port in router (it worked without issues all the time while I was there!).
In Deco M5 app I can see the WC8 is connected to local network and it receives traffic when I try to connect to it via browser, but does not respond (1-2k download traffic but 0k upload- so it does not respond)
I am very far away from the condo now so I cannot know if LED is still blinking and if the PLC is still running and if it would execute the routine despite this network issue.
My question is: is that possible that PLC code (if something is wrong there) could jam the NIC?
That is my first thing that comes to my mind since this is the only thing that has been changed: no one is in the condo within long time, so the code works little differently now.
There is another WC8 controller that does different thing in that condo; it also connected to the same router and it works fine, I can access it remotely via another port in the router. So the reason is not in router but in WC8.
The WC8 purchased from Amazon this summer so it should be with the latest firmware (I don't remember FW version now).
Thanks!
