Brad, A tip on the Loggers 8 port...there is a rechargeable battery inside that doesn't seem to last more than a year. Once it dies, you lose your config and if the device ever looses power, everything comes back in either all off state or all on state. I tossed one logger and then when it happened to a second, I decided to tinker. I got a replacement battery at batteries plus and it started working correctly again, saving my config after a power outage. I'm not sure what can be done about it except to put them on a maintenance schedule. Of course this was on the older devices....maybe they've gone to flash memory now?
