Hey @syepes I have a few questions about this switch and your driver if you don't mind. I do not have one of these switches yet, but am considering getting one to monitor the dryer.

I will say that no combination of my driver or the from-scratch drivers by syepes ever did get me what I felt was consistent power reporting with the HDSS, unlike the perfect reporting I got from my ZEN15's. I don't know if that's a problem with Hubitat or with the HDSS. I did resort to putting in a Rule Machine rule to poll the device every minute, and that seemed to get things "good enough" (I only used the HDSS for reporting power usage to monitor laundry)
Which is basically exactly what I want to use it for. What has been your experience with this switch?
I'm also concerned about how often it may send data back to the hub. My only experience with an energy monitoring plug is the Zooz Double Plug, and it can get fairly chatty. I just want to know is this device running or not. In a screenshot up above, I see there is a parameter for reporting minimum change in wattage, and I have a question about that. Is this an absolute or relative value? For example, let's say I set this to 100W. Will it report only when it goes over 100W, or every time there is a 100W change? So as the heater cycles on and off am I going to be getting several reports from this switch? Do the reporting toggles actually prevent the switch from sending data to the hub, or just make it not show in the log?
