Occasionally the my insteon PLM seems to go out to lunch. From looking at the event log my guess would be that the insteon packet synchronization and framing gets off. There seem to be related cases of significant delay so background status scan traffic is not properly matched and "bleeds" into the event log. In severe cases these idiosyncrasies could result in some or all devices being marked failed. I noticed that reinitializing PH seemed to stop the anomalies showing up the event log (for a while anyway) so I've tried programtically reinitializing PH on any direct out, ACK or device change destined for or received from an unknown address (or equivalently the id = ""). Over the past week this seems to have improved things a bit with no devices being marked failed and comm statistics improving. The reinitialization is limited to one per half hour and there is a global which is checked prior to reinitialization to allow the reinitialization to be dynamically disabled when one wishes.
I was just wondering if others have had this problem and perhaps this approach might be useful to others.

I have not seen anything like this with my PLM. Let's see if others have.

Just to characterize this a bit better these events happened about once every two days. They consisted of set of somewhat nonsensical insteon entering the event log combined with "bleedover" of the unmatched status scan traffic (usually unmatched peek addr and status responses). The somewhat nonsensical traffic would often look like it suffered from an alignment problem.
This did not look like simple noise to me because there typically were several oddities grouped together.
