It’s probably running a process that’s connecting to internet services such as mine craft or league of legends out of working hours. I’ve found that disabling internet connectivity at the WiFi router from 12:00 midnight until the morning can be effective to prevent wasteful background processing over night.

- jasonhansel 5y agoDisconnecting Wi-Fi is not recommended, since it may prevent access to firmware updates that improve overall friendliness. The real problem may be in your educational system, whose operating hours may be incompatible with the standard, pre-set clock phase that most models naturally acquire at that age. I suggest contacting your local school board to continue troubleshooting.
- killjoywashere 5y ago^Hmmm ... it appears Grown Child without Small Child has entered the chat.
- eru 5y agoEh, disabling the wifi after midnight seems perfectly reasonable; even if everything else you are suggesting is true. Now, disabling the wifi after 4pm or completely, that would be a different question.
- indymike 5y agoI must have an advanced self directed learning model. I cut off the local wifi and they just paired with the neighbors wifi.
- 908B64B197 5y agoAlternate take: some private third party school boards use a different scheduling algorithm and manage to bypass that issue. Plus you get an API key that gives you better support.
- howdydoo 5y agoTurning off wi-fi isn't enough. Like many Samsung smart TVs, a Small Child will cycle through all access points in range if its configured network doesn't have internet connectivity.
- LadyCailin 5y agoMy model keeps downloading things for offline and even electricity free use. It’s a serious problem, I’m not sure how to patch it.
- eru 5y agoRun down your model's battery during the day? Tire them out enough to make them want to sleep?
- KSteffensen 5y agoFor all of its UX problems, I must say I am very impressed with Small Childs battery life. The low power shutdown does tend to be very noisy though.
- nucleardog 5y agoYeah the low battery warning is extremely obnoxious and not dismissable at all. I don't know who thought this was a good decision! What's even more crazy is that often when I attempt to silence the low battery warning by placing the Small Child in the charger, it often refuses to begin charging until the battery has been entirely depleted, so along with not being dismissable, even attempting to charge the Small Child does not stop the low battery warning consistently! I believe this is likely a bug, but I haven't yet been able to consistently replicate it to file a bug report despite experimenting with various charging and usage schedules.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoMine evidently felt in need of a recharge last night and used its optional fuel intake valve to ingest some of my espresso, finding it not 100% compatible with its system it ejected the espresso and made an error sound, after which it walked around the room, came back and went for the espresso again. Prevented second time by manual intervention.
