Restoring Power to Thermostat 

This INSTEON device stores all of its settings, such as links to other INSTEON devices, On-Levels/Ramp 
Rates, etc., in 

non-volatile memory

. Because settings are saved in this non-volatile memory, they will not 

be lost in the event of a power failure. 

Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the INSTEON device will return the load to its last-known 
powered state once power is restored.
