Hi Mark,

I have a comments and a question on this topic:

A) From my experience, there are three possible options to handle the
reconnect/reboot situation, that all have valid use cases:

1. DB is dominant, takes value from DOL or AutoSaveRestore, and writes
to the device.
2. DB is recessive, reads value from device.
3. DB is minimal invasive, takes value from DOL or AutoSaveRestore, and
does not interact with the device.

I am not sure how a single bit could encode these three options.

B) The PINI field menu currently has 6 options:

NO, YES, RUN, RUNNING, PAUSE, PAUSED.

What is the intended behavior for the four options that were not yet
mentioned in this thread?

Thanks,
~Ralph
