I've had my HomeTroller SEL PRO HS3 for more than two years. From the beginning, I have always operated it headless. We have occasional power outages, and I've always appreciated that, once power is restored, HS3 would restart automatically.
On 1/27 we had two outages here, each lasting about an hour. After the second outage, HS3 did not restart automatically. I found that the only way I could get it running again was to hook up a mouse, monitor, and keyboard. Power application led me to a choice of "repair HS3" or "reset system" -- or something like that. I chose the repair option, and subsequently got to log in successfully.
With HS3 running locally, I found that I could once again connect via Ethernet from a browser running on another computer on my LAN. As near as I can tell, at this point, everything was again running normally -- events, logs, plug-ins, device status and control. BUT, when power is removed for any reason, I have the same problem: no autostart.
I think that, on at least one or two occasions, after local login, HS3 was unable to control either of my two Z-NETs. I have always managed to recover from that problem by initiating a restart from the browser control window. And restarts initiated from a browser always appear to work.
I have very limited knowledge of Linux. Other than the normal changes caused by logs, event creation and mods, plug-in installations and updates, etc., I am unaware of anything I may have done to modify the original configuration. I am able to access the HomeTroller via Putty and WinSCP, and I generally can edit and copy files between machines, but that's about it. I have a full backup of (just) the HomeSeer folder made only a couple of days before the failure, but I don't have any backups of files outside the HomeSeer folder domain.
I have searched the forums for this subject. Unfortunately, most postings related to the Windows platform. Forum discussions that target the Linux platform are at a level beyond my abilities.
Can anyone suggest a repair approach that I can handle? Thanks in advance.
