Diagnostics information

Applies to all of them so not sure how useful

Additional information

I used Plugwise2Py before, which seems as if it kept track internally on the energy usage over time. But i do recall that back when I used the Windows software with these plugs, it worked fine. So doesn't seem like a hw issue.

If have a identical issue, and have a 23:55 script to reboot HA for it to capture the latest values, Watt recording works fine

[infernix]

Not sure if related, but it also frequently doesn't find my circle+ after a homeassistant restart. It wil then never collect any stats at all, until i restart again and by chance it does find the circle+.

I'm inclined to switch back to Plugwise2Py given the unreliability at the moment. Is there anything i can do to speed up debugging?

[CoMPaTech]

@brefra can you provide @infernix with an update?

[ksya]

Same problem here. It was also with the last plugwise (not usb) version that worked with the Stick. After restarting the plugwise integration, it works again for an amount of time.

Hi @infernix @ksya can you test with version 0.40.5a1 ? (You need to enable beta testing).
