I have two Kessil A500X lights connected to my Apex through IOTA. Has been working well since I set this up a few months ago.

Yesterday we had some storms roll through the area. The power flickered several times, but never went completely out. When I went to take a look at the tank this morning, the lights were still on. The Fusion app said the lights were on at 23% although the program would have them off at this hour. It seems the Kessil dongle had reset and stopped connecting to the Apex, assuming due to the power outage. I used the Kessil app to reconnect the lights and all seem to be functioning fine now.

Has anybody had this happen to them? Is it normal for the Kessil to be affected by a power outage like this? Has me very concerned and thought I'd check here with other users before reaching out to Kessil.
