New convert from ST here. Loving Hubitat C-7! I've got a few UK SmartThings outlets, some the old type (buttons on sides, blue LED) and some new (2019 button on top, green LED). Both 13A rated. I need a couple to run heating devices (electric rad, coffee machine) and know the power usage. I really wanted to use the newer devices for these uses because there were some reports of the old types having fire safety issues under high loads.
So... all the devices use the default Generic Zigbee Outlet. I have enabled "Enable automatic power reporting" to a low threshold like 5W also debugging. All the older type outlets report power OK. All the new 2019 sockets report 0 power, I cannot get power data from them. What I see in the log is "reporting configuration for Metering (cluster 0x0702), attribute 0x0400 failed, unsupported attribute".
Does anyone have any idea how to (a) fix @mike.maxwell or (b) better driver that works with the newer 2019 outlets that reports power OK?
I found the ‘ Iris Smart Plug’ driver by Steve White works for my smartthings outlet. I did what to drop the reporting down to .5 before it started working.
I had some weird behaviour with mine that I bought recently, which I am assuming are the 2019 model, zigbee and advertised as having power monitoring.
I bought 3 plugs and 2 reported power and 1 didn't. This ended up suiting me as I chose to put the one that did not report onto my mesh for my Conbee2 stick I use to run my Ikea on/off switches. I looked in deConz and it is reporting a power reading, so not sure why this wasn't happening when connected to my C-4 HE hub.
One of the two that were reporting power in HE has my dyson cordless vacuum plugged in and will alternate quite frequently between 0 and 22 / 23 watts. Though today it was reporting at one point to be drawing 65kW, so I'm not sure it's entirely accurate.
I don't have any basis for saying whether these issues are with HE or the plugs, just wanted to capture my experience. Happy to do any testing, etc. Might check out the driver above, thanks for posting the link @damianm.
I’m pretty sure the issues are with the HE drivers as I just migrated them all from a SmartThings v2 hub and the power reporting was working fine for all the same outlets (new and old) under ST zig bee.
I am having a problem with power reporting on the generic outlet driver with my Telstra branded, SZ-ESW01-AU. Posted about the issue here, and was referred here to this topic as a possible solution. In a nutshell, it looks like the power is being reported 100 times what it should be.
I was having issues with the power reporting on my Sinopé Outlet using the Generic Zigbee Outlet driver. Power reporting is working for my SmartThings outlets but I am using Steve's Enhanced Smart Plug Driver for them. Strangely, when I switched my Sinopé Outlet to that driver and then back to the Generic Zigbee Outlet driver, power reporting started working.
For those having power reporting issues with the generic driver.
Please do the following.
Please run configure if you haven't already done so.
If the device still isn't reporting, or is reporting incorrectly, please provide the following info.
Manufacturer and model shown in the driver data section.
The result of the reporting configuration command shown in the live logs.
The issue, ie no power reports, incorrect scale reading is 10x or 0.1x actual ect.
Power reporting is if your plug supports energy metering, it will report the power consumed by what ever you have plugged into it. So if it's set to 10 watts then will fire a report if the current value is greater or less than 10 watts from the previous value. The flash rate is how quick the indicator light will flash i.e. on/off
@mike.maxwell - I got two second-hand SmartThings / CentraLite outlets, both connected using the generic driver. One of them reports power, no issues, but the other one doesn't. Here is the info you requested:
