Here it is 8 days later and at 5:46AM the bedroom lit up, the house shook and by my phone letting me know that the power went out. 1 hour and 42 minutes later it came back on. Just looked at the radar and @asbril is about to get that same weather front in the next few minutes. Good Luck, it was a nasty one.

So far, so good. Forecast is some thunderstorms but apparently nothing serious........ I guess that we will stay home today ! Now that I think of it, we have been home for 5 weeks now?

Lots or time to work on your variables?

$Sunny =0, $Raining = 0, $Snowing = 0

If $Snowing = 1 and if $Residence = $SouthFlorida

Then it is time to move to Grand Cayman's

Else Stay inside

Could have used a few more variables

Well here is a twist to my ongoing "Power Failure" problem at home. Here i sit 565.3 miles from home in my RV. Last night I at 6:59pm Watching a recording of "Homestead Rescue" and I  get a SimpliSafe Alert on my phone that my power went out at home. One minute later I get another alert that Power was restored. Normal! Happens every few weeks. I waited 10 minutes and tried to remote into the house system.

No access to:

ISY, ecobee, GEM, Security Cameras, Raspberry Pi(s), SlingBox. I figured I would wait a while longer and see what happens. At 8:15 PM i tried again, same response. Crap. Is the power really on or is it off? SimpliSafe indicates that the power is on. Called my neighbor across the street and asked if my outside and the living room lights are on. Affirmative! (always a need to go back to basic communications). Great we have power, but no access to any data stuff. So i pinged the Internet modem. No luck. I guess either the modem went south or WOW (provider) may be down. BUT, ISY was still doing its thing (lights on/off). Way to go ISY!

Well since there is power and alarms are working, I decide that I would wait until morning to tackle the problem. At 7 AM this morning, everything was up and running. I guess WOW had an outage last night. Now there is a first after a power failure.

Love these Power Failures, what a pain.

One thing I’ve noticed here is that an outage can occur with my ISP and eventually my modem will fix itself usually, but it can be faster if I power cycle the modem. There’s a handy ping node server here that I believe [mention]markv58 [/mention] wrote that allows me to check my internet connection. I use it in a program with a relay to power cycle the modem if the internet can’t be reached for say 5 minutes. If it still doesn’t work it will wait another 5 minutes and repeat a few times then waits an hour to check again and repeat if needed.
