I am considering automating a 2nd home which I visit in the summer. I usually turn the power off at the main breaker when I am away.
If I use z-wave, WiFi, or some of the other new smart IOT devices, how long can these devices remain powered off and still retain their configuration information.
I know they will probably be OK for a few weeks, but will they still work after a power outage of 6-9 months?
Anybody have any experience with this? I am especially interested in WiFi devices because they seem to be the most cost effective and I already have WiFi there.
