AEOTEC 6 Smart Socket Not Showing Power, Current, etc

[jonathan.rostron1969]

Hi,

I have several AEOTEC 6 Sockets, but none of them show the power or current, does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I looked at some other posts and their devices seem to be showing data, so I assume HE is capable of this. I am on a C7 and the latest software. The driver is Aeotec Smart Switch 6.

I have two of them on a C-7, latest.

Both work, but I only ever use "power" in BLM (Better Laundry Monitor). In other words if the other values were "crazy" -- either high or low, I'd probably never notice, since all I ever expect is a ding on my wrist when the cycle ends.

What driver are you using, and have you changed any parameters?

[csteele]

I set parameters to reduce the "spam" that power monitoring can become.. or default to.

Thanks I'll compare with mine.

Managed to solve this by digging into the Aeotec Manual. I changed the driver to the Basic Z-Wave Tool and took a look at Parameter 101 which was set to "0". I changes it to "15" and it now updates the power/current etc. I also had to look at Parameter "101" which is the reporting interval which defaulted to "3", i.e. 3 seconds. I amended to "300" I'll see how it goes.
