Thanx Wes, I do understand now. I wish Smarthome would update the smartlinc to have better error checking and minimize database corruption. Factory resetting the smartlinc and adding the devices back in are a real pain!!!!
I agree! With the new update submitted last week (2.17.00) this version will handle these conditions in a graceful way and notify the user what happened and exit cleanly out of the sync saving what it could save to the internal database.
