Running source v2.15 20100328.0 with firmware 2009-09-08

Just updated from 2.16 beta to RC1 and that went smooth. (Already had the new firmware on the plugs).

Request for the next version: being able to run the plugwise server as a service.

here also: 'No updates available'

It's a Beta version, you can only update if you are a registered beta tester for Plugwise.
Drop them a mail tell them that you are ea meber of this forum and you probably will be accepted.

The first line of the message was 'Update for ALL users', should be 'Update for Beta users'.

Agree on that one perhaps Reinder can clearify?

I am sorry, I was confused.
It's (almost) available for all users
It's the Release Candidate, so just a matter of a few days....

For the Firmware update: what does 'Support for Switch' mean?

this sweet baby
You can create a group of devices and attach the switch to that.
(look at the complete image to see the switch)

Today the official RELEASE for all users is available.
For everyone the latest Source version is: 2.16 (20110101.2)
Firmware release: 2010-11-01

There is a new firmware available.
Looks very promising.
I have a network with 35 modules...this can be slow sometimes (1-2 seconds)
Updating now..

Fixes:
- Time synchronization of Circle+ does not take place when interval is set
- Sporadic resets of nodes caused by Circle+ time sync sent out
- Power logging contains invalid time stamps without clock sync from Circle+
- Schedule does not work for Circle after power off without clock sync from Circle+
- Switch stops sending awake messages
- Stick can lose network while preparing image

Changes:
- Updated ZigBee Pro stack
- Faster routing between Stick and nodes in large networks.

I updated to the new source and the new firmware when it was available.
It seems there's a new bug introduced in the source or the firmware which was not there before.
Sometimes, the power usage is almost zero for a plug (sometimes several plugs at the same time, sometimes only one plug).
It's always at the start of a new day: at 0:00h
See screendumps.
You can see that the usage drops to almost zero at 0:00h. This is incorrect.
I have seen one time that the dropped usage was added the next hour but all other times, the usage was just lost and not added the next hour.

I'm not sure if this bug is in the new source or if it is in the new firmware.
Source version 2.16
Firmware version 2010-11-01

Lets see if plugwise recognize this problem, they are reading this forum and will react.
