Good to hear, planning is still rough as now sun isn’t (cloudy) that bright at this moment so estimation isn’t perfect. ---

Hi Jeroen. Al good now, no high load an no crashes. 😃 Resetting all hardware/settings worked. But, I don’t know what was the cause. Perhaps an idea for a future release: backup (and import) hardware settings? If I’m the only one then not wise… 👍 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/e/fe77f3760c6772365956d3da985fe333e68618cc.png) ---

Not a bug in my code, must be something from Athom? Is this some other app putting those capabilities under it? I dont see/know/recognize this. EDIT: Check the Advanced Device Capability app? ---

Hi Jeroen, I have set up a system to heat my boiler using surplus solar power. With the P1 meter, I detect how much energy I draw from or how much energy I feed into the grid. I use an energy socket to measure the boiler’s consumption. From the difference between the two, I calculate the power output with which I can now control the boiler. Since the update of v3.13.47, I see that “energy\_socket Polling - Minimum poll interval raised to 30 s (was 2 s)”. Due to this increase in the polling of the energy socket, my system has become unstable. The cause: a new control value for the boiler is calculated every 4 seconds, but the socket is only read every 30 seconds. If I only control the boiler every 30 seconds, my system is much too slow, and I draw power from the grid for an undesirably long time when, for example, a cloud passes in front of the sun or another device switches on. Please return the polling of the energy socket to 2 seconds as before. ---

Direct access to other Homey apps isn’t needed, as it is possible to directly query the Solcast API itself. But for the moment open-metro might be enough.. just food for thought 🙂 ---

This also explains an issue I have. Thanks for the tip. I know now how to fix it. @Jeroen\_Tebben : If you change this permanently you should also update the advanced settings for the Energy socket. Mine still show a polling interval of 10 seconds and minimum allowed is 1. This should be changed to 30 because they are now actually polling every 30 seconds. ---

Sorry Patrick & @Hsd1965 this got derailed by other users that have 30 sockets and a crashing Homewizard app / Homey. Let me restore and give control back to you as a user. But that will lead me to not act on this anymore if people struggle with their sockets this way and end up with crashing app due to high CPU load. ---

Yes, for clear weather days it’s great. For cloudy days it could be better, what’s your thought on that? Just keep the open-meteo for now and see how it goes… You could always add support for Solcast API as an addition to open-meteo later, if you’re feel like it.. I’m already happy for now 😛 ---

It would be ideal if I could set the polling time of the socket myself, just like you can do for the P1 Meter in Homey’s advanced settings. Thanks in advance. ---

It should cater for cloudy days as well, also it needs to learn from samples next 3 days to improve the curve so it might look off a bit but there is some bias to improve it. ---

Indeed, but this setting has no effect, polling remains 30 sec in de not updated version… [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-homewizard/19267.md?page=181) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-homewizard/19267.md?page=183)
