Power Failer: Do you lose all your settings?

No - I turned off the power to my house this last weekend for about 1/2 hour and the phones still have the correct date and time, volume settings, etc. Remember - the handsets have batteries! And the batteries last a long time.

Yes it does. I've had a couple of power outages and it has always come back up to my settings.Tom

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch.Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

No you do not have to reset up the wifi if it loses power. The unit retains the information. I have moved it to multiple locations and never had any problems with it working and it was easy to set up out of the box.

No, the settings are stored in non-volatile memory, so power outages or unplugging doesnt affect settings. I set one controller aside literally for years. When plugged back in the last settings were there.

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

I have not taken it apart, but something in the system - keypad or control board remember the password over power outages.

I have not had any problems with power lose or surge. The settings remain. I LOVE this pump. Very very happy with it.

Never plug a power backup unit such as this into a protector strip. It can cause power surges and other issues.

Also, I forgot to mention . . . when I tried to get around the problem and power an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with the Powerland (as a way to protect my electronics), each of the 3 types of UPS's that I tried to use rejected the Powerland's electric as too unstable.

Electronic multiple function products with microprocessors some times become "confused". I would first kill the power to the unit completely for at least 5 minutes, then turn it back on and run the initial set up procedure. If this does not solve the issue then you would need to decide if you want to try dealing with customer service or just replace the unit.

I don't have the problem of power loss yet so I wouldn't know. I did try to manually shut power off and turn on from the main power panel and the sockets come up un-powered.

It's a no-touch system. Plug it in, it will go through a self test attach the equipment you wish to supply and forget it, it will take care of itself. I've had mine for a year or so and it has never failed to do it's job when the power failed. I use it to power both my cable modem and router, and no problems occurred during power failure.

Have not had this issue, but would think you maybe right on the money. Your computer may be dropping "vampires" (Items hooked up to your USB that are using power (although very minimal in this case)). As i generally do a daily shut down I have not had this issue.

I have had repeated power failures since installing the Hydrawise. Assuming your Wifi is back online... there is nothing you need to do to regarding re-initialization.

I find nothing in user manuals, and have never had occasion to get into the reset. Knock wood, the machine has rocked along for two years.Sorry I cannot help. H. Schulte.
