Thanks for the update.
I have many devices that I need to unplug before I can do the update.


All my delayed switch problems are solved in the latest beta.

To give you an idea how fast it is.

Door Open
Visonic MCT 302 will detect that.
RFXcom will receive the signal en send to Homeseer
Homeseer will trigger a event for turning on lights in the garage.
Lights are behind Plugwise plug

I,am still updating the plugs,will take a while.
Still questions about the statistics, see picture
i,ve got my floor heating pump on a plug It uses around 50W an hour
and is basically on for 16 hours and off for 8 hours. You would then estimate
a saving of around 33%, according to the system the saving is only 3 % or so

De saving should be not 0,14 Kwh but around 2,5Kw

according me, this is correct. The Source compares the historic usages, with your schedule. You have selected the wrong period (a period with already a schedule running) in the section "van" "tot en met".
You should select a period where the schedule was not working yet, or disable your schedule for at least a week. Then it's possible for the Source to calculate (on historic data) what savings can be reached.

OK when i installed them i started out immediately with this schedule, it will only change in summer, Then the pump will only run 15 min or so in a week to avoid getting stuck, then the savings will, show. But it,s not very energy efficient to first have a system run for 24/7 for a while to allow for a correct calculation. I understand the problem however how to correctly programm it.

What does OTA stand for?
Over The Air?

A short update on the latest beta install.
Follow the guidelines posted here. My first try with the plugs
in the original positions failed, probably the distance was a problem
It took several retries and a long time. When i put all the plugs
close together it worked ok Times between 2 and 9 minutes per plug.

So all ok now, switching is very fast.
I wil now have to upgrade the other system ,placed at a school. (55 plugs)
the good News is that were on holiday and we have the time to upgrade.
The bad News is that we have several stealths, and these can,t be put closer to
the base so i hope we can have a reliable connection for the uodate which will
probably take more than 24 hrs.

Update the updating of the school system (53 plugs) went very good Even over long distances (50mtr+)
no problems It takes a long time however. Over 5 hrs to update all the plugs. Between 2 minutes for the
closest plugs and 11-12 minutes for the ones at greater distances. The only plugs that eventually failed were
2 stealths who are behind other stealths. They got their update but do not show anymore.Probably have to install
them again, but that should be no problem. I feared the worst after my home-system update but it worked out very good.
