This is why I deliberately ran one of mine for over a week. As far as 
I can tell, the single report (that I have come across) of an ePOD 
failing through extended use was due to either a faulty unit, or the 
backlight being on for that length of time. I will set my ePODs to 
never shutdown when on external power but for the backlight to go off 
after a few seconds.

The problem as ever is time. I need to do some more work on 
HomeAutomator and I need to design and build the wall mount for the 
ePOD. Once I have done these two things I will install an ePOD and 
run it continuously. If there are any problems I will report them 
here of course.
