Thanks Brian, more great info. I see a few nice looking switching 5V 2A warts that cost the same as the UD 12V one (with Prime shipping) but come with a range of additional plugs, including a 2 screw terminal plug that I can attach to any wart with the 5mm/2mm barrel plug. I'll probably go with that, just for the sameness and the additional plugs. I looked for some 12V warts with similar amenities and the normal safety features, but either they were the kind of wart that blocks other plugs or they didn't look/spec out as super sturdy.

Thanks all - great info. I guess I'll go with the 12V wall wart... I hesitate to switch up from a 5v supply - that's lasted me this long without issues (will an internal regulator be working harder/hotter with a 12V input?), but seems alright if UD suggests it.

Sorry, and one last question - the wall wart I have is a 5v 1A one that the 994i came with. Is there a way for me to purchase a new one, and/or is there perhaps a better way to power the 994i? Thanks!

Ah - appears to be a power supply issue. I have a programmable power adapter (with a range of plugs) and once I used that to power the 994i, it booted right up. Scary though. Is there a way for me to backup the firmware image as well as the user settings, in case the on board memory dies? Would I just contact UD and ask for a new SD card to be shipped to me, then rely on the user setting backup to get the insteon and the smart meter integration back up and running? Thanks!

I have my 994i hooked up to a UPS, but after a ~4 hour power outage (I was away), the 994i won't boot back into a stable state. When I power cycle it, regardless of what cables are attached (modem/network), the Power LED is almost solid blue with no other lights coming on (it's flashing at a high frequency). I haven't been able to access the device over the network. How do I proceed trouble shooting it? Does this seem like a wall wart issue (not providing enough power), or an internal storage/sd card issue? If I have a backup just prior to moving to the 5.x series of firmware, will reloading that onto a re-imaged sd card (with the most recent 4.x firmware) bring back both my insteon setup/programs and my zigbee access to my smart meter? Thanks for any help.
