Power failure/recovery

[xAPPO]

I have just installed a small system so far, mainly Stealth units whilst I await the UK plugs, but I notice that they have a power cycle recovery state of ON rather than last state which is very surprising. This would mean should you go away on holiday and there was a power cut then everything would be turned on ! I know good practice would be to turn everything off at the switch of course to avoid this but it's still problematic during day to day use.

I see that Lennart has raised this in the wishlist thread so I hope Plugwise are listening.

In the meantime my home automation system is based around xAP and I am making good progress in getting the Plugwise system integrated into this , initially via the webserver and later via direct control. Once I have this completed then I can handle the power recovery from my automation system which will help.

BTW There are free xAP plugins for almost all commercial home automation applications as well as many free offerings, including the excellent xAP Floorplan, so this might also help others as they integrate Plugwise into their homes. As I make progress I'll post more about this.
