so this happens when your server is in a hung state and needs to be restarted? I am not sure how much the app can do to solve that issue if its having connection issues to the server and the server needs to be restarted. The app needs to try to make a connection to send updates otherwise it cannot.

Unless you’re actively using the app an online vs offline server shouldn’t make that much of a difference, right (especially on Wear OS)? It’s still making the same requests, just getting a different response. Nothing to keep alive/connected on a watch when the app is closed.

I do not see any errors or attempt to communicate out. At this point we may need a developer who experiences this issue to take a closer look. I would also recommend fixing the issue with HA going down as it seems to put the server in a bad state which may also be the cause of the issue.
