Solved
[Solved] KAKU, not working anymore...
Yesterday evening had a big interruption (for some hours) of our Internet connection.
We went to bed and because Homey didn't work anymore, the only thing I could do (to switch off the lights) was to pull all the KAKU devices out of the wall sockets.
Now all of the KAKU switches don't work anymore... Restart the App and Homey, but it doesn't work anymore.
Re-adding works, but switching afterwards doesn't work.
Yes, I know, I should have programmed the remotes, but I didn't...
ZWave does work.
***confused***

If you defined an timer or other trigger homey still can switch kaku on or off.
If your only trigger was speech, Homey needs Internet to understand you.
Didn't you get remotes with your kaku sockets? Wil make it much easier....
What kind of sockets do you have? Most have 6 memory positions to learn, but other cheap sets like apa3-1000 Only have 3. And don't have a pair button, they start learning once plugged in. Once learned 3 unique codes from Homey the sockets memory is full. Clear it before re-pairing.
A low battery can be a problem like bvdbos mentioned.
And Homey could have a problem in the 433 rf chip.
And I have seen an update to the kaku app today but for me it still works, so I don't expect it to be an app probleem
Edit:
O, and z-wave is another chip and another radio.... and a more reliable protocol, that could explain some things.
Does it work again? For my 2 devices it still works, but don't have more to test. ;-)
if not pls report here: https://github.com/athombv/nl.klikaanklikuit/issues
Create an Issue and report the devices you have and if the App crashes or not...
I do see @baskiers changed the sensitivity and signal-interval in 3.1.1-3.1.3, maybe that's the cause? https://github.com/athombv/nl.klikaanklikuit/commit/083ecc00f2422d5a203c2b43dcbc2c09b97a2658
with that @baskiers rolled back the fix of May 6th when he upped the time between messages send (https://github.com/athombv/nl.klikaanklikuit/commit/ce3327d1a9088dbfb0f147a871ad218124f610bf) so my guess is this was done by accident and is an easy fix for him today
But, not the same ones are working or not working...
im only using 4 x 433 devices ( 230v + battery )but it works all over my house 160m3 in two floors and homey in center on floor one.( concrete walls) i can agree that zwave is more expensive but its worthy it !
