Change Switch Setting

Hi

I have a plug in switch controller as shown here smarthome.com.au/14-appliance-control

It shows up in Vera3 as a binary light using D_BinaryLight1.xml

I want to achieve 2 things:

  1. Disable being able to turn this off via the web interface (ie just use it to monitor energy usage and status), it can still be switched on/off via the inbuilt switch.
  2. Have it classified as an appliance switch not a light.

Can anyone assist with how to do this and if it is possible?

thanks

Searching the forum would help provide you answers to your questions.

  1. There is no direct way of doing this with out getting a little hands on.

  2. Not possible without changing the device type and may cause issues. All relay type switches are setup as a binary light (light bulb).
