backup of the current system.
And maybe also a backup from before the beta.

I opened the database to find out the 'old appliance', that was missing was still in there preventing the new appliance from being named the same. So I removed the 'old appliance' and then started the Source again. Finally I was able to rename the new appliance.

What i hoped would be fixed, but is not, the possibility to edit the plug after installation. You can edit the name,but not the rest of the info. Deleting it, then adding again did not work good either because then it says Name already in use, (the name you just deleted, and then you can only add it under an other name. (and can not select device type/room etc.)
And on my monitor the (older TFT) the multi day grapihs for usage are hard to read, thin lines and the color of the line (greyyish) are hard to see, I would prefer a slightly thicker line and darker color

Strange, deleting and adding again should work. Maybe bug?

Is someone working with the schedules?
If so, have you tested this with the new beta?

The display with the consumed energy is working correctly now since it is now reported to the correct date (previously is was (current day + 1)

At the other hand it is very difficult to know when a schedule has been transmitted and is available in the plugs.
It would make sense to me to show the progress on what plugs already have the schedule information and witch dont in "breadcrum style" or a progress bar or something.

Also if you delete a schedule, is it also deleted from the plugs? Or do you need to send the schedules to delete them?

And what is nice, i didn,t see on the older software is the Red Sign on the device which tells you if there's a double schedule on it.
And the mentioning earlier of the hard to see schedules Iin my previous post)was monitor related it is solved. Scheduling seems to work ok on the beta. I will check today if the chedules did waht they are supposed to do by checking the ussage logs of the plugs (30+ installed)

@jcasteel, thanks for the tip. I'm afraid not for this beta/update but sure for a update later on (new functionality).

@jheerink, please keep us informed. I heard some doubts about the reliability of the schedules in the beta.

Opening the Help at the 'Schedule' page will try to access the internet with the following link

Schedules seem to work so far.
question (i did not see it before) What does a green "vinkje" mean on an appliance ? I,ve seen it only once now in this beta. The red exclamation mark (bedoel uitroepteken) works ok signaling a problem with a schedule)
Am i correct that it is not possible to cancel schedules of a whole group and then add an new one ?
We went (school)into holiday mode and i wanted to make a holiday schedule signaling all schedules to go to off, but that creates a double schedule. For the time i changed all my schedules to empty and sent them off that works, after the holiday i will reprogram them again. I will check next week if the schedules do as told.

@jcasteel
user manual is not ready yet. After pdf posterd, "bug" should be solved

@jheerink
The green "vinkje" you describe I only now from within "schedules" and that means there are no conflicting schedules.
You can cancel a group, just left mouse click the group (within schedules) and choose del. Please keep us posted about the schedules. I am very interested.

The upgrade procedure looks far better now and it doesn't crash anylonger as it did before. However, the Appliance.Module.TypeText stull returns an object instead of a string describing the type of module.

I played around with some tarif stuff and found the following issue.

It is now possible to create new tariff plans but it is possible that they are active at the same time.
As a consequence it can be confusing what costs are presented in the graphs.

I would expect that you can have the following

|--- Tarif 1 (Active) ---|
| --- Tarif 2 (Active) ---|
|--- comparison tarif X (non active) --------------|
|--- comparison tarif Y (non active) ---------|

but not something like
|--- tarif X (active) --------------|
|--- tarif Y (active) --------------|

I played around with the groups

And I can add a group if I click on Add Group however if I perform GRoups -> Right Click -> New then nothing happens
