Circles connected or not connected?

Post by DJF3 »

Hi,

I have about 15 Circles in my house now. Looking at the Source application I noticed that 80% of the time there's a few plugs that have the brown 'offline' icon.
<ul><li>That's not a problem for power monitoring only devices (like a fridge or oven) </li><li>This is a big problem for lamps that I want to switch because they won't respond.(using HS or X10 remote)</li></ul>

The weird thing is that sometimes (for example) the Oven-1 Circle is invisible, even though it's about 10cm's away from the Oven-2 Circle.

The Circle+ is about 30cm away from the Stick, and there's more than enough Circle's to complete the chain.

Who else uses the Circles for their lights? Do you have similar issues that some are not 'online' all the time?

Thanks!
DJ

From sniffing the connection to portal.plugwise.com I found that these are my fw versions:

Does this match your fw versions? The firewall is disabled right now.

Firmware version looks okay..
I have no idea what else the problem can bee than some kind of noise.
maybe your neighbors have 2.4Ghz devices?

Is your Wifi network working fine?
