Another thing about these greenwave nodes. Did you ever check the power consumption if everything was powered down according to the node? I just did a small check by putting a neo coolcam power plug in between de power socket and the node 6 and I found out that somehow it uses 43w. Anyone with the same ‘result’ ? ---

No that’s not right… Just installed an unused powernode 6, with all sockets switched off, behind an Aqara power plug. The power plug shows a power usage of 1.22W ---

mmm then there is something wrong with my greenwave node 6 because i can clearly see that it uses around 43W. When I turn of all sockets at first it indeed doesn’t use that much power ( around 1.22W) but after while for some reason it starts to go up. ---

I also downgraded my 2.0 to 1.1.2 - and now it works again. ``` git clone https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems.git cd com.greenwavesystems/ git checkout old-master athom app install ``` And it does just get reinstalled, and all polling works again. ---

Everything will work just fine, even without the “sdk”: 2 tag added in the app, a lot of apps are still running SDKv1, just apps with settings (which most z-wave apps don’t have) is the biggest culprit of an app not working, this includes parameter, as those function exactly the same SDKv1 vs SDKv2. This might change in the future if Athom ever drops support fully of SDKv1 ---

Day 7 with Homey. I have 30+ Greenwave plugs around the house. I have set up mesh with the Greenwaves around the house connected to Homey, ready to start transferring all the rest across from my old system. But the greenwaves are now flashing green every second or two. I have set the parameter to 255, but, so far have not worked how to set the zwave device polling period. On my old system it is set to poll each Greenwave every 60 minutes. So in this thread it looks like this is an issue with Homey, is that still the case? Is there a workaround? Having these units flashing in bedrooms is a show stopper… and they would be very expensive to replace. Any insight on this would be much appreciated. Thanks ---

The blinking is a result from Athom did remove the polling and also the power measurements. If you set the timeout the max, you have more then 4 hours without blinking after you switched the device, very annoing indeed. You can do as Lauer did (see 6 days ago): [lauer](https://community.homey.app/u/lauer) [6d](https://community.homey.app/t/greenwave-systems-v-2-0-removed-power-capabilities/6195/25) I also downgraded my 2.0 to 1.1.2 - and now it works again. ```auto git clone https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems.git cd com.greenwavesystems/ git checkout old-master athom app install ``` And it does just get reinstalled, and all polling works again. ---

Thx, will look into that. Another potential fix is to send a raw zwave command to set the timeout once an hour. That may reset the timer. I’ll try it over the weekend I have raised with support - they are looking at it Mike ---

It is the commands to install an app from commands line, rahter then the app store You can read more about it here : > [@\[HOW TO\] CLI install method](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198): > > Homey Pro only!!! It does not work this way with Homey (cloud), it only supports CLI run which is there only for development purposes.

Thanks for that- but I died at the first hurdle. Went to the iOS Homey App Went to Settings Cannot find an option System Can’t find It in Settings/General either. Either I am being really stupid, (not out of the realms of possibility 🙂 ) but I cannot find out how to install node.js and I have searched the forums where it says install node.js but not where or how you get there or where it is. I would appreciate a pointer please. This is a lot of work for a workaround to a defective Greenwave App (has been reported to Athom and they looking at it) ---

Also found a decent work around to the Green Flashing light on the Greenwaves. Send a ZWave Raw command “0x25, 0x02” to the Greenwave at least once every 4 hours 14 minutes - if the time out has already been set to 255. This Raw Command asks the Greenwave to send its relay status to Homey. That restarts the Time Out Timer. I have just tested it and it appears to work. Will do some more extensive testing - build it into Flow and transmit to all Greenwaves. Will report back. ---

Ok after 5 days - still working well. So that is a good work around. Changing the timeout period worked too, but was worried it was writing the config locally and this would generate a lot of config updates and wear out the dram (not sure if that is what is) This way of doing it just asks the Greenwave what is your current state on/off. Has the additional benefit of picking up any manual state changes too, ie if someone turns it on at the plug, usually that is not reported back, this should pick up that state change. That was a very interesting forey into RAW Zwave 🙂 ---

Thanks for reporting back, I can confirm that it works great this way, actually, this is a form of Polling. I did set the time-out to 0xFF ones and via a flow, I poll the devices every 2 hours with 0x25, 0x02 . 😃 [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/greenwave-systems-v-2-0-removed-power-capabilities/6195.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/greenwave-systems-v-2-0-removed-power-capabilities/6195.md?page=3)
