Bad choice of words. The bottom line is that they get multiple errors which prevents it from saving. On the plus side, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was not stripping the line numbers when I copied the code. I also have difficulty figuring out which is a device handler and which is the smart app. I am a long time software developer and I tend to try to understand based on my previous experience. I finally got it right and I am very pleased with the results for the Aeon SmartStrip. I also want to thank everyone for their work, I could not have figured this out on my own.
I do still have a question, what happened to the energy usage stats, they are missing in my setup? This is not a show stopper, just curious.
