I think I have found a SW solution for those
using a UPS. Since anyone else probly
already has a batch file to fire once the
computer restarts. Check out PowerChute made
by APS, the personal edition is free. It
monitors your UPS and can tell when power
has been restored. You could set it to
restart any programs that it shut down once
it went to backup as well as fire off a
batch file to trigger a macro. There are
other Power Restoration posts at
www.accessx10.com

The only problem is if your UPS doesn't
have this capability. The solution that I
proposed would solve that problem with the
added benefit that you don't need to have
the computer running since this is based
upon the X10 system and can be used with
any of the X10 PLC controllers.

If you have batteries in your CM15A it will
rescieve RF signals without AC power If
power is restored the same time AC power is
restored it will execute the command.(I've
tested this) So if the PowerFlash takes 3-4
seconds to fire a PLC command that should
not be a problem. If it is we know RF will
work if you don't have a RF problem.(wall
wart & motion sensor)
