Thanks, Larryllx and Apostolakisl. Great suggestions. Your solution probably accomplishes more than I need for now, but I'll keep the solution in mind.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tazman. I'm not sure I want to mess with the panel, but this sounds like it would work.

Thanks, DennisC, I think this is a great solution.

Interesting device, ELA. However, the breaker for this circuit is GFCI, and I know mixing GFCI breakers and outlets can cause additional issues. Thanks for the suggestion!

Very interesting idea-----thanks! I suspect that might work for me. Thanks very much for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion, gzahar, but I'm not using PG3 at this point. For now, I'm sticking with my 994i. Thanks again!

IndyMike, thanks again for the ideas.

IndyMike, you make some good points. The smaller refrigerator in question is only 4 years old and located in the garage. The only other devices on the 20A circuit are the garage door openers. Your comments about Insteon and Z Wave devices causing GFCI trips is interesting. I've never had a GFCI breaker trip on another circuit where I have 3 Insteon switches, but maybe I've just been lucky. I keep thinking it might be time to upgrade the 994i, but honestly, it's been working extremely well for me, so I haven't been motivated to move ahead with the change. Interesting idea to monitor the refrigerator temperature. I hadn't considered that possibility, so thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Great idea, Paul, and it's only the one circuit that I'm interested in monitoring, so I don't think I'd have the traffic collision problem. Thanks very much for pointing me in this direction!

Thanks, Geddy, but this is not a regular occurrence. It happened once in the past year, but it got me thinking about ways to monitor that circuit with a refrigerator. Yes, I agree that Jec6613's suggestion for a Z Wave device could work for me.

Thanks for your response. I have no issues with my Insteon network at all. I haven't had any signal issues in a decade, fortunately. I want to monitor a specific home electrical circuit which has on occasion tripped a GFCI breaker and cut power to a refrigerator. I was hoping I could use an Insteon module through my 994i to email me if it went offline on that circuit, but that doesn't seem practical at this point. Jec6613's solution using a Z Wave device might do the trick. Thanks again!

Okay, thanks for the fast response. I just read information about the ZAC38. At this point, I don't have any Z-wave devices in my network, but this device seems like it can do what I need. I'll need to look further into it. Thanks again!

I'm surprised I haven't received any answers to my post above. Unless someone posts an answer, I'll assume there is no reasonable way to get an email notification from the 994i when an insteon device goes offline. If anyone knows otherwise, your comments are very much appreciated!

Hello, all: I have a 994i with about 25 Insteon switches and dimmers and a few programs and routines. I'd like to set something up to email me when a specific Insteon device goes offline. In other words, that device no longer appears in the network, like when the power to the device is off. I have email notifications set up in my ISY, but so far, I haven't been able to figure out how to send an email when an Insteon device goes offline. Is there a reasonable way to do this? Thanks very much for any advice you can give. Rob
