My concerns not fact based so may be totally wrong. My concern was writing parameters to a device as a means of ‘polling’ it works but I fear for long term damage to the device. My theory, and I welcome being wrong, is that if a parameter is written to device it is stored in DRAM (don’t hold me tho that !) and my understanding was that had a finite life of number or writes to it. So if a poll every 2 hours, creating 12 writes a day, would create over 4k writes a year, my gut feeling is that may ‘wear’ out the memory. Again, this based on a fussy understanding of how these things work and welcome being schooled 🙂 Requesting status of switch does not generate a write so should not diminish the life of the device. Again, probably got all this completely wrong 🙂 ---

I have 2 Greenwave Powernodes 6, the strange thing is only one powersocket is sending power usage to the Homey, the rest doesn’t show any data (although it is added to Homey it doesn’t show data) Also if I add the Powernodes, I get 7 devices in Homey where the 7th is a “general” one where I can adjust the settings. What does this actually do if I turn this on/of? ---

I installed the old master version with CLI, works perfect. Had no problems on the older 2016 Homey and also no problems on Homey Pro ---

Hi Arjan, Not solved yet, haven’t tried the old version as I heard stories about stressing your Z-Wave network. At the moment it does still only send the power usage of 1 socket to Homey, I can live with it but it’s not ideal. ---

Thanks for your reply! for me it is an problem because i want to measure the usage of my aquarium. all the 6 ports have different devices that i want to keep an eye on. @jeroenvano i’m new with homey so can you help me out how i get into the commandline (do you use putty or so?) and where do i find the older master version? Before i had home assistant and everything was working so i know for sure that the greenwave is working just fine. I hope that you can help me out here! Greetz! ---

You can download the old-master version from [here](https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems/tree/old-master) How to install it with use of CLI is explained in [this topic](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198) Good luck! ---

Hi, I also try to get an old version of Greenwave to my homey to get my Greenwave Powernode 6 sharing power capabilities again. But when I use the links to Github in this threat, I get 404s. Where can I get the latest stable version that can do this? Or even better: does someone know if Athom has plans to get power capabilities back to the app? ---
