disruptionintheabilityofadevicetosenddatatothecloudservices.Yourdataisveryimportant.Both

toautomaticallyre‐connectandinformingtheuserthatadisconnectionhashappened.
Itisimportantthatyoutakeadvantageofthesemethodstominimizedowntime.Howeverthereare
circumstanceswheresometimewillelapsebeforetheconnectivityissueisresolved.Inthesecases,if

sendhistoricaldatawithadateandtimestampwhentheactionactuallyhappenedthroughthemodule
