With going down you mean shutdown?

Can you ping the rpi?

Do the following test
In terminal
ssh pi@..
tail -F /var/log/piBeacon.log

And wait until it goes down
What are the last lines?

Sorry for my late response because I have not yet been able to use "tail -F /var/log/piBeacon.log"
because the pibeacon is always going down mostly when im not home :?

but when the pibeacon is "down" I can not always ping it.

what I mean is it goes from "UP" to "DOWN" to "EXPIRED"

and when It do that it will "restart" all the triggers connected thru the beacons I use.

it have not behaved like this before. I also discovered my second pibeacon that is expired mostly all the time.

Could you be so kind and upgrade to the latest version.

In order to understand I really need to see some logfiles.

We could do an online session - teamviewer- works best.

Then I can likely fix that in 10 minutes- from experience.
