I occasionally receive errors in the Startup Log. Sometimes the Restart Plugin does not successfully start. Any idea what is going on? Copied my system profile at the end.
I am a software developer of business applications so I am familiar with developing and debugging but not Homeseer. This error occurs with both the Restart Plugin and the Insteon plugin. Either there is something those two have in common, or the bug is in the Startup routine of Homeseer.
When I asked the Homeseer folks about the error, they said it was a plugin problem.
I use the Restart Plugin to restart the Homeseer software once a day. I was plagued with unreliability issues and decided to use the Restart Plugin to get a fresh start each day.
