The latest version was approved by MCV yesterday, so hopefully this issue is solved now?

It works here, running version 0.6. It worked before too but I had changed the code myself to fix the one second problem.

Thank you Chris!

Hi Chris.
Thank you for a great plugin. I’am using it with the Northq power reader and it’s working great.
I’m updating from the Northq every 60 seconds, and the watt calculator then shows me the usage for the past minute.
But I have some problems with the plugin in Automator.app on ipad/iphone and in AutHomation hd on Android.
In the Automator.app there is no icon and it’s often causing the program to crash. In AutHomation hd there is no icon and no info about watt usage, just a ?.
Is this something you can fix in the plugin?
Thanks.

The short answer is I don’t know… It depends on what the remote app is using to decide what type of device this is, and how it’s displayed. It’s possibly using device type, and I’m using a different device type than the standard power meter, which as best as I can tell is necessary as the device file calls up the implementation…

Another option is it may use device categories. I’ve just made a change to the files to set this correctly, so this may help (although I’ve checked with AutHomation, and it’s still got the same issue)…

I’ll make some more enquiries and see if there’s something else I can make more standard… Alternatively, we would need to check with the app author.

That sounds great, let me know how it goes.
Maybe it has to be implemented in the app as you say.

Hi Chris,
Great app indeed thanks. however, I experience the same problem as audunv with the Automator app. In addition to that my Vera Lite seems continuously occupies resulting in not operating normally, not like a brick though, because I can still access the controller. Hope you can solve the problem. Should you need any additional info, please let me know.
