Counting of Power Consumption

Are there two bugs?

My window covering is showing up in the devices area with a power consumption of x when it is open. That makes no sense because the motor only needs electricity just for some seconds.

Changing (and saving) the 100 W default to 0 didn’t change Vera’s way of dealing with that. See screenshot.

I just fixed this. It will be in the new release. A Window Covering, in Z-Wave, appears the same as a binary switch, so Vera assumes in the ‘on’ position it’s using whatever wattage is specified on the devices page. I’ll make Vera set the Wattage to 0 for known switches that are in fact window coverings. In the meantime, you can go to the devices page, click + and change the Wattage to 0.
