Nice to hear. I just moved into a new house a week ago, and can't find any of my Insteon stuff. I've still got things in boxes, so it might have gotten stashed somewhere. I didn't bring any of my wired-in devices though I had at least half a dozen wall wart dimmers and switches. Also my PLM and USB/Serial adapter are in with that stuff. I DID find the EISY and wireless adapter, so I can start to use ZWave and Matter things. With the new house, I figured I'd start with some ZWave dimmer switches and fan controllers. Since I can't find my box of Insteon stuff, I ordered a couple plug in lamp dimmers. The house has a Leviton thermostat, but it's not ZWave enabled. Amazon has a similar model that is ZWave enabled, so I'm going to order one soon. I haven't installed any ZWave devices yet.... I hope it's not a PITA. I'm also missing my 8 port switch... The house has 4 ethernet ports, but I need to connect a few more things in my office.

haha... I went a more nerdy route. I set up a Raspberry Pi with a relay board, soldered a wire into one of my garage door remotes and set up a bash script that trips the relay. Then on my iPhone I set up a Shortcut to create an SSH connection and execute the script. Works quite nice. Previously I had the old Insteon garage door opener setup, but it was quite unreliable. I replaced the garage door opener a couple years ago, and the same thing won't work anymore - basically the panel and button isn't a simple Open/Close switch. It's a serial controller... so you can't connect a relay to the inputs on the opener and just short them to open the door. It won't work.

Definitely seems that it coincided with the time change. I don't remember if I have any looping programs, or anything that was relying on a timeframe, rather than a specific time. I wonder if taking a backup right before the next time change and then restoring it if all of the programs become disabled. Next time change, though, I'll be in a different/new house, and many things will be changed... I suspect the problem may recur, though.

I woke up this morning to find every single program on my EISY disabled. That was fun. It was cold and dark and my "wake up" program that does about a dozen things didn't work. Got into the Admin Console and saw every single program was disabled. Something about the time change last night, maybe?
