Very weird..
The device in question went down/up for 12 minutes outside of the time frame
specified by the DOWNTIME statement. After it went down hobbitd complained
with the following error, minutes afterward the device did come back up.
The error still stands.
Latest errormessages:
Bad timespec (missing colon or no starttime): W
Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 0830:2359:OffSaturday
Bad timespec (missing colon or no starttime): W
