RFXCOM Meter and PWR - doesn't get data from PWR?

Hi,
I have installed an RFXCOM Meter and Pwr. Homeseer immediately recognizes the Meter and it can be added. The Pwr doesn't show up in HS2.
When I shutdown HS2 and connect to that COM port using the RFXreceiver program I <i>do</i> see information from the Pwr module coming in..
HS2:
RFX_Meter_Meter \4 1-Livingroom RFXMeter RFXMeter[240]M 0 1 1
Any ideas?
Thanks!
bye
DJ

Not sure if this is related, but I do see the following messages in the HS2 log:
2/19/2008 1:34:04 PM - RFXCOM - (RecRxChar) duplicate packet ignored: 20609F20DF

BTW. Thanks to the RFXCOM receiver I found an Oregon device in the neighborhood that tell me the temperature and humidity. No clue where they are but I do know the battery is low!

set debug level 1 in the RFXCOM plugin and email me the HS LOG with some trace messages of the RFXPwr

just to confirm on RFXMeter, the clamp has to clamp to LIVE only or I can clamp to a cable that has got all Earth, Live and Neutral?

The CT must be clamped on the live only.

Bert,
could you please explain why it would only work on the live wire? The device measures current, and that's the same on the live and neutral wire.

If you clamp a CT on both the forward current has the same value as the backward current. See the forward as positive and the return as negative. The result will be zero and no current is measured.

Maybe my question was not clear: the CT should be clamped on either the live wire or the neutral (return) wire? It shouldn't matter on which of both because through both wires runs the same current? It's clear to me that the CT shouldn't be clamped on both on the same time!
