[ANSWERED]: Aeotec DSC11 not reporting power usage correct

Hey Guys

I'm running Indigo 6.0.20

I just added the DSC11 to control my Mac and three monitors. I'm getting VERY confusing results from the power monitoring on the device. Here's the device info

You'll see below that the watts being drawn for these devices don't look right

Z-Wave sent "Office - Power Strip - MacPro" energy status request
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - MacPro" power load to 1.921 W
Z-Wave sent "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 1" energy status request
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 1" energy total to 0.001 kWh
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 1" power load to 8.029 W
Z-Wave sent "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 2" energy status request
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 2" energy total to 0.023 kWh
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 2" power load to 97.184 W
Z-Wave sent "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 3" energy status request
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 3" energy total to 0.011 kWh
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - Monitor 3" power load to 54.718 W
Z-Wave sent "Office - Power Strip - All Outlets" energy status request
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - All Outlets" energy total to 0.060 kWh
Z-Wave received "Office - Power Strip - All Outlets" power load to 288.367 W

Now I wish my MacPro drew less than 2 watts coz by utility bill could use a break but neah, even Apple isn't that optimistic about its eco-friendliness. All the Monitors are identical models, all turned on and with their brightness calibrated so they should be within a watt of each other consumption-wise.

I've tried re-syncing and resetting the device. The only difference is that after a rest and an update the device reports the MacPro is drawing 0 watts. I've also tried reloading the Z-Wave interface, no difference.

Any ideas, suggestions or just nods of sympathy greatly accepted.

Unfortunately, they somewhat scrambled (IMHO) the implementation of how the energy report endpoints are mapped. We should be able to work around it eventually, but it is a non-trivial change. See this forum thread for a detailed explanation.

Since this is a duplicate issue of what is reported on the other thread, I'm going to lock this thread (so post any follow-ups on the other thread).

Reply from Peter regarding his plugin that allows creating additional sensor devices to accurately monitor the DSC11 power strip:

DSC11 logging is now supported in Indigo via my ZWave Sensor Logger plugin.
