That PDF shows the module I was wishing for, but I don't seem to find that for sale anywhere on Google. I wonder if/when they plan to release it? Knock on wood my current PLM keeps working until then.

I wonder if they ever plan to redesign the PLM. The case design reminds me of the early Insteon products that I got rid of years ago. A smaller size would be nice.

My PLM is at least 10-15 years old. I don't suppose there's a way to check the device electronically to see what is manufacture date is. Does the device label show the date? I haven't unplugged mine in many years and am afraid to touch it. Should I go ahead and buy one just to get the latest improvements in the technology (if any)? Have they changed much in recent years?

I found the setting for "Catch up schedules at restart" and it IS checked. This is the first time I've seen that setting, so it must have been a default. I would think this is OK so that any programs scheduled AFTER the reboot will happen on their appropriately scheduled times. What other ramifications do I need to consider? I left it checked for now. I also see a "Query at restart" which probably explains why the EISY queried every device. I guess this should be harmless. I left it checked. I'm not quite understanding Geddy's comments about the wait. The program seems very simple. Twice a day it turns on the blower, waits 5 minutes, and turns it off again. It has been working fine for months. It has never left the blower turned on for more than 5 minutes. The Onvacation variable simply allows me to prevent the blower from running unnecessarily when I am on vacation. I set that variable to 1 before I leave, and then set it to 0 when I return. I don't have any other programs that affect the BSMT Blower. Perhaps you are saying "what if the reboot occurred during that 5 minute wait?" I guess I don't know to be honest. Is the software smart enough to know that it has to catch up to the middle of that 5 minute wait and continue on where it left off, finishing out the wait and turning the blower off? Or if the power is out for, say, 10 minutes, will it recognize the current time is now past when the blower should have been shut off, and go ahead and shut it off immediately? The X10 Universal Modules I mentioned are used to turn ceiling fans on or off. Two of them are programmed to turn on at noon every day (they turn on my kitchen and living room ceiling fans). A third one turns on again in the evening (to turn off the kitchen fan). None of those programs has "run at startup" set to true, yet they did run. I could hear the modules clacking on and off during the reboot. Not a big deal, just odd. I kind of understand what you are saying about using 2 programs, but I'm hesitant to make this more complicated that it needs to be, given how rare the problem comes up. Thank you nonetheless. Oh well, I'll just chalk this up to "live and learn". P.S. I did move the EISY to a UPS so it shouldn't be affected by power outages (at least relatively short ones). I'm a retired batch programmer and have used Insteon and UDI for many years, but still learning a new trick here and there. Thank you for your assistance and have a good day! Jon

Saturday night 8/16/2025 I had a thunderstorm and my house lost power for a second or two and came back on. This happened twice several minutes apart. Each time, my EISY rebooted and started running a few programs unexpectedly. It was bizarre sitting in my living room as EISY turned on modules unnecessarily after the power restored. Just now I was able to replicate the issue by simply unplugging the EISY and plugging it back in. In the log file there are 134 entries in the few seconds after each power blip. Like it is maybe polling information from modules, getting Status, On Level, Ramp Rate, etc. from just about every device in my house. Is that normal? Here is one example program. It turned on an appliance module for my basement blower for 5 minutes and turned it off again, even though it wasn't 6AM or 5PM. In the Summary tab, this program is not set to Run At Startup. (I have very few programs set to Run At Startup.) Yet this one did. Despite the conditions not being met. Any idea why this would happen? 7D Bsmt blower - [ID 005A][Parent 0023] If ( Time is 6:00:00AM Or Time is 5:00:00PM ) And $sOnVacation is 0 Then Set 'Basement / BSMT Blower' On Wait 5 minutes Set 'Basement / BSMT Blower' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I've attached an excerpt from my log. The outages were at 9:43:45PM and again at 9:53:22PM. I inserted a couple blank lines to break them apart. The X10 Universal Modules at lines 20-25 all triggered on even though their programs are not set to Run At Startup. THANKS! Partial EISY Log.xlsx

My Alexa and phone app weren't working but they're back up now. Thanks!
