My units at home so I couldn't look and I didn't find the power requirements on the UD web site tech notes.

I've had couple of brown outs lately.  Looking at some Plugged in Power banks.  (eg: https://www.anker.com/products/a1621?variant=37437690052758 )  They both charge and provide battery power.  

Not knowing the power requirements of the eISY I don't want to underpower the power bank.  I think this would be a smaller option than a full blow Uninterruptable power supply.  A 10 minute option is all I'm looking for.

What wattage on the USB C power cord does eISY require?

Thanks

Isn't the eISY 12V/2A?  I use this with the Polisy and plan to move it to the eISY but I'll need a DC to USB C cable to do so...

My eISY has a USB C connector that supplies power.  I don't remember if there is a 12V connector, on it

The stock wall adapter shipped with my EISY is 12vdc 2.0A (24W)

I think you would be better off picking up a small UPS at a place like Costco. They are still inexpensive and you get the benefit of power filtering.

However, if you're using Insteon, don't plug the PLM in to it.

Yes, a small UPS is less expensive, but its a space issue I'm trying to solve.  So the UPS's I have found are too big for where I want my unit to go.

When using a UPS, is it a good idea to plug the UPS into a Filterlinc? This is presuming that the modem is not plugged into the UPS, but the eISY's power supply is.

The UPS power filtering can absorb the power line commands from a PLM. Many also don't have a true sine wave AC output. That many power supplies don't run with.

No UPS on a PLM is a very good recommendation.

FilterLinc sound like a good way to go. That is how mine is. PLM in the unfiltered outlet on the front. Computer equipment on the filtered outlet.
