tome Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 My system has been relatively static for a while. Tonight I went to turn out some lights that are in two different locations which I have been doing nearly every night since the time change and thought, why don't I just make fast off on the first switch turn off the others for me? So I wrote the worlds simplest program on the ISY (well, perhaps there are simpler ones, but...), and it didn't work! It was driving me crazy for a while, going back and forth testing, checking the program, etc. I finally remembered to run the event view and couldn't see anything at all. Searching the forum I came across the advice to restore the plm. Sure enough this worked. Why does the PLM need to be restored from time to time? Why can't the ISY check to see if the PLM has lost it's mind and restore it on it's own? Or if not that, why not just restore the plm on a schedule automatically? -Tome
Michel Kohanim Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Hi Tome, The answer is: it should NOT! This is usually a symptom of a failing PLM and I strongly recommend getting it replaced. With kind regards, Michel

With kind regards, Michel Michel, If I call Smarthome and tell them it lost it's mind but is better now - sounds like some people I know - will they replace it for that reason? Tome
Michel Kohanim Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Hi Tome, ... I think so especially if this happens again. Usually, when this starts happening, rest assured that it is going to happen again and again and then it eventually dies. With kind regards, Michel
