Seems I've read many threads over the years on guys with a TIU that only partially work, or too old to upgrade, or whatever...and are sitting in a box. So if someone absolutely needs this power-on watchdog function, I wonder if the "next" gadget is some way to re-purpose an unused TIU (or even just an unused TIU channel) in passive mode for the sole purpose of generating the Watchdog?!

The problem with the TIU is connecting two channels together seems to create issues, I don't know how that would be resolved.

For some reason the DCS-RC in parallel with the output doesn't seem to cause a problem. The only issue so far that's surfaced is the Apple version of the DCS WiFi app has issues adding engines with the WD generator active. However, the Android version here has no issue at all with the WD generator running on the channel.
