Did you see that I pointed out that it’s possible to do an OTA firmware update with an Aeotec Gen 5 (+) Z-Wave USB stick? The first time I pointed this out was already in March of this year, but only in the German-language forum section ([link](https://community.homey.app/t/z-wave-gerate-firmware-updates-mit-homey-durchfuhren/77283)). ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > The quotes you have chosen and your comment are confusing and taken out of context. Now your comment is confusing and taken out of context… what is your problem ? This is what you wrote : _Homey has no built-in function to update the firmware of Z-Wave devices (at the moment). However, Aeotec has found a way to update the firmware of Z-Wave devices with “open” firmware without having to exclude, update and re-include the devices. The problem with this would be that all flows and settings would have to be readjusted._ ---

OKay, I just checked that quickly and posted it here, so your useful comment will be read by those interested on Aotec specific case. Anyway, it was good stuff, just don’t get your reaction. ---

I reacted to this because you wrote that what I wrote wasn’t true. But that wasn’t my statement or intention regarding the Aeotec method. As already written, the sentence that flows and settings of devices has to be repaired, referred to when you have to exclude, update and re-include the devices, what isn’t the case if you use the Aeotec method. Maybe my sentence is misleading because my mother language is not English, but it could have been understood from the context. Cheers 🍻 ---

Hello, A couple of weeks ago I bought a couple of sets of the “Aeotec smart switch 7” power plug It did look that my power consumption was really good, but that’s an app mistake. Homey is Homey pro (2016 version) It shows the amount of ‘W’ incorrectly, but the ‘A’ is correct. This screenshot is from the beginning of the week. v3.13.4 If you look for the ‘W’ graph, its also incorrect. I tried to look where to report his, but I could not find a specific place ![Image 2024-06-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/d/8d263a2511eacb5b14ad6929c8d275167cb4074a.jpeg) see the screenshot Hope this issue will be solved ---

Here another bug (another of the set) here the power could be OK. but the current is definitely incorrect ![Image 2024-06-07 at 14.54.45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/1/41ab7785173a74e7611b4c0387439180cf3de836.jpeg) I specifically bought this set because it came out well in the comparison tool from homey ---

I still have the same issue. Aeotec says I need to changes settings… Is there any way to do this in Homey? I tried to go to the device and select “Advanced Settings” Here I don’t see a match. Below is what I received from Aeotec what should solve the issue… > Parameter 91 - 93 (Threshold values) to 0 or the highest number that they can be. > > Then configure Parameter 101 (automatic sensor reports) to report all sensors. > > Then you can use Parameter 111 (time of sensor reports set in seconds) to determine how often the switch reports. However I did find [Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen5 - Settings - #7 by Rohman](https://community.homey.app/t/aeotec-home-energy-meter-gen5-settings/61700/7) but… It should be easy and understandable to change a simple setting if that is required… It should work fine after a factory reset… I selected this device because of Homey. It came up in the list of “supported” devices working with “Z-Wave” ---

Hi Bert, of course it’s possible to change these parameters easily in the Advanced Settings. This is a Homey WebApp screenshot, but it looks more ore less similar in the Homey smartphone app: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c3e70e330b1b9375457d4b707c712f10308bb790.png) Translation: – Parameter 91: **Watt threshold** / (Leistungsschwellenwert (W)) – Parameter 92: **kWh threshold** / (Gesamtverbrauchsschwellenwert (kWh)) – Parameter 93: **Current threshold** / (Stromschwellenwert (A)) – Parameter 101: **Timed report enable/disable** / (Berichtstype) – Parameter 111: **Timed report interval** (Berichtsintervall) And if you hover the mouse pointer over the ⓘ in the Homey WebApp, a small window opens with information about the parameter: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c3a9ced91a09a291a082aeffb7d114be9043cb9a.png) This info is also available in the smartphone app if you tap on one of the parameter. ---

Thanks for the suggestion here. I’ll try this and I’ll give feedback if this solved the issue. Hope they make something that this kind of solutions are no longer needed or that a (factory) reset could solve this issue ![IMG_A4D75C44E2DD-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/d/bda0821c2c82f2ae71360d6ed234115777881efc.jpeg) Changed settings (as suggested by aeotec helpdesk) ^ ---

I cannot pair the device with my Homey Pro 2023, when I get prompted to enter the first 5 digits of the product I am getting an error… I did not have the problem with my Homey Pro 2019. Anyone had the same problem?
