MAINSMET setting disappeared with RC2 when setting up from device #50

Closed stefan-home closed 2 months ago

stefan-home commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug When going to configuration on the device the "MAINSMET" setting is no longer visible

Upload your config RC2 has this problem RC1 is OK

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. tested on OFF and NORMAL, both states have this issue
  2. What steps do you take: very standard, just hold the mid-button for 2 secs and find the MAINSMET setting by pushing right button. It's not there

Expected behavior Expect MAINSMET setting to be there (alike RC1 and older versions like 1.8)

Screenshots cannot make a screenshot of a screen that is missing

(note: this is my very 1st issue I report on GitHub, made account just for this, so hope I do ok, user stefannn on tweeters)

Yes this is intended behaviour, there are a lot of users that just run "Normal Mode" and have no devices attached. They get confused by "MainsMeter" settings, and the manufacturer gets a lot of questions/problems on this subject.

So only if you choose Smart or Solar mode you can configure MainsMeter.

Thanks, in that case I would suggest to modify documentation: note, I would volunteer to do if you would like.

For info: I really tried not send an "intended behaviour" issue. Before sending in I checked the documentation and also verified on RC1.

configuration.md / how to configure MAINSMET Set type of MAINS meter add: "only available in SMART mode"
