I was away for New Year but left the device logging. Last night I wrote a little program to list the periods of time when there was a gap of more than 180 seconds between MQTT reports from the monitor. The pattern is pretty obvious: it stops from about 7 minutes before the hour until about a quarter past with occasionally a small glitch just after it comes back. Debug output also stops during that time though when I watched it stop at 10:53Z just now it continued to give output to the config utility so it's rather looking like a problem logging on to the WiFi or something. I'll also leave a ping -a going on it at the next opportunity.
Columns are date/time of last report before the gap, date/time of first report after the gap and length of the gap in seconds.
I'll update to the new firmware and start it all again then see what the lights do at 11:52Z today. I'll probably do the diode and capacitor tomorrow - let's change one thing at a time.
Updated to vESPrino v1.16 build20170103.
So, of course, now it works through the turn of the hour: I missed the start of the expected gap but it just logged at 11:58:14Z then at 12:00:41Z.
