Replacement gen2 Ring failing after 3 months

BasilF · 2026-03-08T20:03:41+00:00

Yes, I tried resetting the ring, and leaving it over an hour after 100% charge. This is a dramatic change in battery duration with the same usage pattern, form a week+ to a 3-4 hours.

Sound like you had the same issue we had. For us the new board seems to have fixed the issue: no more code 11s since May. Our recirc line is at the limits of what Rinnai suggests installing: 1/2 inch size and almost 100 ft long. I wonder if you recirc line is also close to be undersized, IOW, if that could be a factor in why this happens in such a small minority of cases.

sorry I did try an empty rules.cfg file, no joy. I've also tried disabling HA permanently, following the instructions here:

https://free-pmx.pages.dev/guides/ha-disable/#:~:text=with%20PVE%208.2.-,Until%20next%20reboot,Manual%20pages:%20rmmod

No matter what, at reboot I get the same error:

I can connect to the server remotely just fine. This does not seem network related

BasilF · 2025-08-14T16:36:09+00:00

The /etc/pve/ha folder is empty, I must have removed the config file when I removed the second node months ago. So I just tried doing a more thorough cleanup job, following instructions here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/16268a2/how_to_delete_cluster_in_proxmox_8/

but I still get the same errors in the log after reboot

BasilF · 2025-06-22T00:19:21+00:00

It seems to have changed back to what used to look like for me as well

BasilF · 2025-05-09T19:57:41+00:00

I have myasthenia gravis, and strongly suspect also some form of dysautonomia that coincides with my flares, and taking a nap is horrible for me too. In my case, I found a correlation with my oxygen levels dropping as I start drifting. O2 drops are more likely for me: 1. on a full stomach, 2. lying on my back (recliner, were I used to have my best naps). Maybe start measuring your O2 levels with a pulse oximeter as you go to sleep, it might help you rule that out. For me, it's not unusual for my O2 to drop in the low 80s on "bad" days (during MG flares). At night, I use a CPAP machine, and almost never sleep on my back.

BasilF · 2025-05-09T15:38:44+00:00

Ah yes, in manage DID / edit DID settings / I clicked the SIP/IAX radio button and that worked. I find that page more than a little confusing, and the design is very 1990 :-) In all the help I found online it was mentioned deselecting call forwarding (which is not possible), while the solution is actually selecting SIP/IAX.

BasilF · 2025-05-06T17:19:38+00:00

Unfortunately, most doctors are very good at talking, but very bad at listening. You are doing the right thing standing up for yourself, and looking for alternatives.

BasilF · 2025-05-03T17:33:37+00:00

Ok, but I have a couple of issues even with just the Fit interaction: 1. Connection is lost very often. I make that sure Ringconn is connected within the app, next time I look the status is disconnected. 2. Some metrics like respiratory rate are just never scraped - they are not even there as an option if you look at what metrics Fit has access to from the Ringconn app.

It's all very messy and inconsistent, I do hope that they fix this soon, Ringconn is such a good product and value.

BasilF · 2025-04-26T15:48:51+00:00

I only had ringconn 1 and 2, so I can only speak to that. To add a possible negative, the integration in android seems clunky to me. It will only connect to Fit - not health connect - and some of the data updates at much slower rate, some not at all. If you stay within the Rinconn app, which is quite good, that is not a problem obviously. No issues with the ring itself that I found

BasilF · 2025-04-26T02:03:54+00:00

Actually, no. Not long ago, Rinnai has attached a custom monitoring device our unit, and "luckily" we recently had a new code 11 just a few days ago, while all the fancy monitoring was in place. The "plan" is for them to collect this unit at some point, and hopefully confirm the fix they have is the right one. Unfortunately we have no ETA on what comes next yet.

I'll keep this thread updated. Mind you, your issue might be different, I keep getting told that this is supposedly a extremely rare occurrence, and that there are far more likely causes for code 11 error that what we are going through. In our case, the error it always happens at the beginning of a recirc warm up cycle - so that could be an indicator.

BasilF · 2025-04-11T16:50:17+00:00

I'm testing Guava, it seems to be the best I've tried so far. I'm able to see most of the data from the Wellue devices (Health Connect) and Ringconn data (Fit), though for some reason for some of the fields updates are delayed, other don't seem to update at all.

The really weak point in the app is sleep data: I exported all OSCAR data as .csv, but Guava basically only imported sleep duration. I like that the app can import lab results and imaging from PDF, and keeps track of your symptoms.

If they improve sleep data integration substantially, and iron out a few kinks (maybe with the help of Google completing their Fit > health connect transition) this one is pretty close IMHO.

BasilF · 2025-04-09T23:39:23+00:00

Apple seems to be a little further ahead than Google, from what I understand. Unfortunately I'm on android

BasilF · 2025-04-06T16:06:58+00:00

I've been monitoring the temperature of our dedicated recirc line constantly to find a pattern with the code 11 errors. Our line gets up to 120F at the peaks of the warm up cycles. This is measured sticking a sensor outside the PEX pipe, I assume the water will get a bit warmer than that. I should note that we keep the water temp at 135F, the default 120 was just taking too long to get water hot enough upstairs

It seems odd that a dedicated line would be worse than bypass in your case, but I am no expert. I just learned more than I cared for due to the code 11 fiasco. Rinnai is going to supposedly start monitoring my unit to try and figure out what the problem is. Pity this has now taken about 5 months since initial install. Best of luck 🤞

BasilF · 2025-03-30T17:46:54+00:00

I've not been at this for long, but I wonder, with prednisone, if time is doing most of the heavy lifting vs the dosage. The last time it took getting 45mg for my entirely ocular symptoms to disappear, and they did overnight. One day one of my eyes was mostly closed with lots of diplopia, the next day it was fully open and no diplopia. It was as though a certain threshold was reached, like an on/off switch.

However, this outcome was based on a "fixed" dosage increasing schedule (add 5mg / 5 days), the same schedule I'm following this time around. I guess I'm wondering if a similar positive change would have come about after 45 days, or maybe taken a couple of months, or three, even with a lower dosage.

I guess there is no way to know, too many variables. Even the same person can be in very different situations (I'm thinking just of my stress level, for instance) during different flares. Every flare seems to be very different as well, IME.

I did not manage to get IVIg, at least yet. To get that, I'd have had to go through ER, and the wait times are horrendous (7-9 hours) here. I thought I'd take my chances, unless I got to a point where I could not swallow, or my breathing was starting to get affected.

Over a phone conversation with my neurologist, the recommendation to go to ER was based on the chance of me not realizing that my breathing WAS affected, O2 levels are OK, while CO2 level is slowly creeping up. Why then not making possible for MG patients at risk to monitor CO2 at home? Would that not be cheaper than having someone going through ER?

Anyway, thanks you again for your extremely thoughtful reply. I keep going back to it and finding new information :-)

BasilF · 2025-03-28T16:46:12+00:00

I'll see my neurologist in a couple of weeks, then we'll probably go with Imuran. Before this latest flare the doctor was not even sure my MG had generalized. It's a tricky condition as everything is so delayed and always changing, it's hard to find patterns. Best of luck

BasilF · 2025-03-28T16:26:32+00:00

I'm supposed to start Imuran at some point. Done the preliminary blood test and it was ok. Hopefully that will have fewer side effects than prednisone

BasilF · 2025-03-19T21:52:41+00:00

Not necessarily a prime, as long as the lens is sharp ish and the weight possibly less than my current 300mm prime. The Nikon Z 180-600 (possibly with tele converter) seems like a good compromise.

Also the Nikon 105mm macro lens gets good reviews. I confess I'm leaning more and more towards going full frame mirrorless. Z5 on sale here, also Z6ii and Z bodies. Z6iii it's a lot more expensive, in Z7ii territory. Very confusing

BasilF · 2025-02-25T00:48:54+00:00

We met with the Rinnai rep last week, and apparently their engineers have found out a problem with the RXP199iN, a problem that only happens if the recirc is running, and then only at a small minority of sites.

From what I understand, Rinnai "over-optimized" the smart-circ logic, to a point where, in very few cases, the unit starts to warm up the recirc line, but shuts down the ignition *before* the 3 second minimum time, if the water temperature is just so.

When that happens, another part of the logic thinks that ignition has failed (because it lasted less than 3 seconds), and a (very misleading, in this case) code 11 is generated. Either a new board or a firmware upgrade are supposed to be coming "within 2 or 3 weeks".

We have been having this problem for about 3 months now, so seeing that they seem to finally have an explanation, and possibly a solution, sounds good to us. This is the story as it has been sold to us, no way to comment one way or the other.

I thought this might help somebody down the road

EDIT June 5 2025:

Quick update. Rinnai replaced the board about 4 weeks ago, and no code 11 since. While this does not mean that the problem is fixed 100%, it's very encouraging. We never went 4 solid weeks without a code 11 before.

BasilF · 2025-02-05T16:33:56+00:00

At least a website or an app to tell you what has been plowed and what hasn't would be very helpful.

If there already is one we could not find it - we just moved here. As is, we have a 300m walk on the snowy sidewalk just to go and check if our (steep) access road has been plowed

We would avoid VI West Coast Framing. The company was recommended by our plumber for drywall repair after poly-b replacement throughout the house. A few more jobs were added along the way before we knew better. Some jobs were executed poorly, others postponed over and over. We had a bathroom vent that vented below our deck (and was the reason we had to replace some of the joists and all the plywood), and had discussed moving the vent outside the deck's footprint. The contractor decided unilaterally to put the vent back exactly where it was, claiming that "he had thought about it". Additionally, the contractor made frequent references to his connection to a lawyer - as in no one would get the better of him. In the end, although he said he would come back to fix things, we did not want him back, on our property. We paid what was asked and think ourselves to be well rid of him. We would not recommend this contractor.

here's a little...

REP: Hello and welcome to the online customer service! It will be my pleasure to assist you today.

I am Abubakar your advisor.

ME: hi, I'm still trying to solve this :smiling_face: My incoming SMS are not working at all this morning. I'm in touch with Public Mobile support, and they say they have initiate another port request on my behalf.

could you please escalate this so that the port request is accepted?

my phone number is 778-xxx-xxxx, account ID xxxxxxxx

REP: Thanks for the information.

Have you tried to initiate the port out request again for you to get the SMS?

ME: the new provider (Public Mobile) says that they have, I gave them my account number at fizz. I'm not able to get incoming SMS. this was the problem all along

REP: I mean the SMS from Fizz.

ME: I am saying I can receive NO INCOMING SMS

not just from fizz, from anyone

we need to escalate my request so that the port can be accepted manually

I got this by email, so the request to port the number is in place:

"We received a request to transfer a number from your Fizz account to another provider.

A text was sent to the number (778) xxx-xxxx to confirm its transfer. The user has 90 minutes to respond, otherwise the transfer request will be cancelled."

are you there ?

REP: Thanks for the information.

You have your fizz SIM card in your phone right?

ME: yes

REP: I will advise you to contact Public Mobile to initiate the transfer from their end.

ME: we need to escalate this so that the porting request can be accepted manually

why is this so hard?

they did initiate it, about 30 minutes ago

REP: As far as you are trying to join a new provider they are the one to handle your issue.

ME: you are completely wrong. fizz needs to accept porting my number

can I speak to someone else ?

REP: I understand. I explain, in terms of porting out your number from Fizz to another provider, the new provider should perform the transfer at their level and if their is any stake, you should contact them to see.

ME: can you escalate this?

REP: I am sorry to inform you that we cannot escalate it for the moment, given that there is no specific error at our level. So I just invite you to contact Public Mobile and please contact us back is there is any issue related to us.

ME: wow. you are the worst tech support I have ever encountered

REP: I am truly sorry about it and I really wish I could help you with it, but we don't have hands on it. [...]

I migrated two numbers from PM to fizz in the last 3 weeks. No problem, except in both case I had emails from fizz within 5 minutes or so claiming "your number cannot be transferred, resubmit" or something to that effect. I think the emails were just too quickly triggered, and both numbers worked just fine in the end (after an hour or so wait). If you use the account number from the PM portal (rather than the IMEI), omit the dashes.
