  1. I'll add to this as well. I have a dozen HS103 hw version 2.1 and unfortunately I did the firmware upgrade before I found out about this issue. Now none of mine work in the ISY. They did yesterday until I upgraded them to 1.1.4. I only did it because I added 4 new ones I had in my closet and they kicked off an automatic upgrade (with a warning click). Once those upgraded I went ahead and upgraded all the rest. I am glad I found this thread though. I upgraded my Wemo NS version the same time and it killed my Wemos as well. The upgrade dies looking for _sqlite3. When my TPLs stopped working too I thought I had some issue with the polisy but it looks like it is just a coincidence. Lucky me. I was worrying that I borked my polisy.
  2. I got it on Amazon for $79.95. It sounded expensive to me until I figured out it has 5 z-wave controlled outlets. Now it seems much cheaper compared to buying individual outlets.
  3. I bought one of these last week and it works perfectly. I named mine Office Power Strip (OPS). It has 5 controllable outlets, seen in my pic as OPS ON_OFF CH-1 (-5), a setting to turn on/off the whole strip, and settings to turn on/off the 2 USB ports. The energy monitoring (not shown in my pic) only monitors the actual outlets - not the USB ports. It is great for plugging in a couple of PCs and a few other devices that I may need to reboot if they freeze up. I have one pc that I use to transcode audio and video, and occasionally it will just die. Turning the socket off, and then back on lets me get back to work. I also have a special box that does something similar for 4 devices, and will ping them and automatically reset the connection if they are down too long. This power strip was about $100 cheaper than that box. I plan on using the Ping node on my polisy to set up a similar deal with the power strip (if missed pings >= 100 then turn the socket off and on). That should also work with really any smart outlet/plug.
