GreenWave Powernode 6 individual outlets not responding

All six are working, at least for me, after creating single devices for each in the settings.

It is possible that I was confused, as the device individual switch tiles persisted from the previous driver, and each of them turned on or off all six simultaneously. Within the device controls, everything seems to be working as it should (i.e. main = first switch, switch5 = sixth switch).

Hopefully the others have the same experience.

Thanks, as always, Mariano!

I did some testing this am after I converted one of my Greenwave power strips (PS) to your drivers. I think I’m experiencing the same thing as @Hoodah77. So all of my PS, including the one Greenwwave, I’ve not converted has n+1 entities. Where n, is the number of outlets. For the +1 portion there is a master control that turns the whole outlet strip on and off and it reports the summation of the power/ energy for all of the outlet strips. In the master component of your driver, it is doing the master power summation and the switch one control only. While the greenwave does not have all of the functionality as the Zooz ones I’ve got on a Zooz driver, I think the basic configuration is the same, but the ZOOz has one fewer outlet and I think report more info. Also, I’m not seeing power indications for the children, although I think they may only report kWh. I’m open to running more tests if needed.

I think it’s best to focus on Greenwwave 6-socket devices.

I don’t know if they measure power in all plugs or only measure the sum.

If you pair it with Z-wave Thing Mc you will be able to see all the command classes of each endpoint.

Regarding the Zooz, this manufacturer already has a developer working for them and should contact ZooZ

Yes, I was only referring to Zooz for reference, but that one’s up and running with their driver. Here is the “thing” info for Greenwave.

This info is not complete.
Please, open history device ti see all endpoints

I’m only seeing the regular history which stopped with the driver change. The prior thing driver inquiry is the same as that which I sent above. I looked in the web page and I did not see anything else there either. I’m looking at “history” tab under in the app. Am I looking at the right place?

I grabbed them, or at least I think this is @Mariano_Colmenarejo was asking for.


Also, I removed all the Powernode 6 tiles and put it into exclusion mode by holding down the white button below the power button until it started blinking and initiated exclusion utility on the hub, then I added it back the same method of holding down the white button below the power button until blinking.

All the tiles added back properly and function correctly, although the power consumption data is only visible under the main device tile, but it does display for each individual switch, there.

Edit: not the Power button, but small button on the end below power button.

Thanks, I’m defiantly not getting any of that extra info- although I was wondering how the info I sent to
@Mariano_Colmenarejo was of value without more info. I’m using the term entity, I’m assuming that is the same as end points? Did you need to remove tiles and put it into exclusion mode to get this info or to get the device working correctly?

I’m not sure if I needed to remove the old ones, but I believe they were legacy tiles, that were not functioning properly, but still retained some relation. When I added the device back afterwards, new tiles were spawned, and they did work correctly.

But I’m not sure if the info was available before, as I only looked afterwards.

I removed my legacy tiles before I changed the driver. When I did this, I got the option to add multiple devices which it did. Is your control working as expected?

If the device has been automatically migrated to edge from DTH then all legacy child devices need to be removed

So far, It is… That’s was why I excluded and added it back to see if there were any differences, as such.

The 6 endpoints have the METER command class and should individually report power and energy, but I don’t know if it is necessary to configure power and energy reporting parameters.

Maybe the documentation explains something about this.

I looked, but all I found was basic configuration info.

I came across this: [Greenwave Powernode 5/6 extension driver - 🚧 Developers - Hubitat Powernode 5/6 extension driver, on the Hubitat forum, although it’s a lot of info which may not be necessary, as mine seems to be working, at least.

edit: as far as the accuracy of power monitoring. I tested a 28 watt device, and it showed about 28.5 watts. So pretty good!

User level documentation on this exists but is fairly worthless as I recall. How many total tiles should I see when I’m done 6 or 7?

6 tiles. (optionals)
In Main has all components and all capabilities and other 5 only switch capability

In the hubitat link it says that there are variants of 5 and 6 plugs with the same fingerprints, how strange

As I recall they were being liquidated as kits having several physical devices (maybe both the 5 and the 6, and a single) for around $20. Those who missed out, like myself, could get the Powernode 6, alone for the same $20.

*my edit above, on power reporting: it seems accurate.

I’m just glad it’s working! :pray:

I just wanted to add, that there is something strange about that little wheel above the power button.

I played around with it, and I have no idea what happened, but things started not responding, until I changed it’s position (I just don’t know).

I don’t believe the driver has any influence on the wheels effects.

Yes, definably was a good deal and I got two of the 6 version. I have six total tiles. It still seems that the “master” switch and the overall capabilities are intermingled for switch 1- Switch one reports the sum of everything on the strip. And per your text above, you probably won’t build out the capabilities for the Indvidual switch metering in the display? Note that the history is reporting the Indvidual values correctly, just not the display.

I was honestly tempted to junk mine, but this PS has the outlets oriented the right way for “bricks” and they are not finicky relative to connected loads like to Zooz outlet strips.
