Michel, Big question I have is: Does the ISY handle things just fine if it loses connection with the PLM for a while (due to power outage), then suddenly gets a connection again. Specifically, and especially, if I start powering the ISY from an external supply, which I would then plug into a UPS Back-up Unit?!! Wherein ISY would never lose power; but, the PLM would.... Thanks, - Rob Michel, what size/type power supply do you recommend? I would like to do this as well.

Unfortunately, I don't remember. I'm usually meticulous about taking down a note; let me go through daily reports from jobsite and see what I find.... Thanks, - Rob

2.6.7 is what is running? Any further ideas? Thanks, - Rob

I too experience lock-ups. Arrived out at customer's home and none of the automated staircase lights, and walk-paths are triggering. Rebooted ISY and it's working again. However, I need a method to keep this from happening. As customer is not happy when everything just stops working. Systems I put in a zillion years ago used to have a "Watch Dog Timer Board" (these were PC based); and, if the software locked up entirely, and didn't send a refresh to the Watch Dog Timer Board, then the board would auto-reboot the DOS based PC. Something like that maybe, here? Even if it had to be a remote Insteon module that would power cycle the power to the ISY/PLM combo, if the software didn't keep sending some sort of refresh. How much better does ISY work, for example, if powered from it's own Power Supply (rather than the PLM's RJ45 cable); especially, if I put such a power supply on a back-up power supply as well? That way it never gets hit with any power grid glitches or other. Gotta do something, - Rob
