I have the same on all my ACT devices and I think this is because they don’t report back to Vera what Vera expects.
If I am not wrong they don’t report “manufacturer” back.
Mine works pretty well anyhow.
I was getting inconsistent polling from my leviton dimmers. After going nowhere with it, (resetting the switches, the network, vera, moving things around, pulling out half my hair) I placed a support call to micasaverde and a tech said it appeared like I was having dongle issues. They’ve sent me a new dongle but I haven’t had time to try it yet (in the middle of a complete home rewire… 2 rooms done!)
But the quick diagnosis was nice and they got a new dongle out to me a week later. The tools and knowledge they had available was very welcome. I just hope this fixes the issue.
If I compare two ACT devices, one with green wheel and one with red wheel the information in Devices->More->Advanced differs a bit.
It is not just the actual values that differs, but there are also a different number of fields under Device data.
For example there is a field “#36 Neighbors to Call” which only exists under the red wheel one. The two devices are of the same model.
Here is the data for the red wheel device:
IPaddress
MACaddress
IgnoreOnOff 0
State_NonTemporary ON/100

Disabled 0
