markens Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 I'm not sure but it may be the NTP sync. I can't find it in my Log file, but I have also seen it in the Event Viewer. It's not in my log file, either, just event viewer. I left it open all afternoon, and here is what accumulated. NTP is set to sync every 24 hours to pool.ntp.org, although I manually clicked the "Synchronize Now" button right after opening the event viewer window. Note the Time entry happens every ten minutes exactly, and that any Insteon activity resets the interval.

Very curious. Any other ideas? Thanks, --Mark
Chris Jahn Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 If no event or schedule has occurred in the past 10 minutes, then a time event is sent. This is just a safety net to ensure program conditions are tested at least once every 10 minutes. Although its not actually needed, it does provide an extra layer of protection.
