Yes, this is exactly what I am running into as well. To be honest: if I find a decent replacement, I should definitely sell all of the Greenwave devices, because otherwise I will for sure continue to use them 
You mention: as long as they work. But as a matter of fact in Homey they don’t really work, do they?
This is exactly the problem. But I’ve been running Homeseer with them for many years so it just means I may have to give up on Homey as a replacement hub. I am quite unhappy about it because I really do like Homey… but at this point in time… it’s too unreliable. Probably. I am awaiting Athom’s response to my findings with the backup/restore… and then I’ll decide what to do.
Having power readings from the Greenwave devices was one of the very few advantages of Domoticz over Homey. I am happy I made the jump!
Or you switch to the Shelly Power Strip: Shelly Power Strip 4 Gen4 Black – Shelly Europe
Seems to be the first real and I think affordable alternative. I think I will try and sell at least one of the Greenwave power strips and replace it with one of these.
I’ve modified the code published by GitHub - ronaldderksen/com.greenwavesystems: Drivers for Greenwave Systems devices · GitHub . First of all, thank you very much for sharing it. With the help of AI, I’ve resolved the Z-Wave network saturation issues, and it now reports power consumption on all outlets, just like Home Assistant does.
If anyone is interested, I can post the link to the code. I was really frustrated to have to discard these devices; I have two of them, while they worked perfectly with Home Assistant.
Someone is interested, please publish the link, thanks in advance,
does it also suppress the “main” power-consumption?
Yes please share the code… I have 6 of them… question: why can’t the app be updated to include these modifications?
Dear all Greenwave fans.
I understand from above that a version of the app kind of exists (in terms of the network saturation problem being solved) but not as a new version of the app (currently, not working very well, 3.2.0). This seems to be the ‘official’ Homey/Athom app… but: is it not possible to create a alternative community version that does work, with the improved code so we/I can install it in a regular fashion? (I’d hate to start fiddling with code/sideloads etc… it feels like I am jeopardising the already not so stable Homey system…)
This all assuming Athom/Homey isn’t going to bother updating the official app of course.
Anyway, I would be so pleased if I could use the Greenwave devices again!
Thanks to MacMonty for finding that solution! Hopefully it will become simply available to all…
p.s. I now see that there are volunteers associated with the Greenwave app (that hasn’t been updated for 2 years)… might it help if MacMonty contacted them to see what could be done?
The solution here is to install an older version of the app. That is a version at some time released by Athom that is not “fixed” where the “fix” is to limit the number of times the device is polled
I was aware of that… but I understood you can not simply pick up the older version in the App Store and install it. You need to do magic things. I tried once and I couldn’t get it to work.
So I am hoping for a regular version of the app that I can install in the regular way… that has the ‘un-fix’ (or re-fix?) in it as MacMonty described. That would be awesome.
Or am I missing something Rudi?
Well… “magic” is a big word I think, but indeed you cannot just pickup the older version.
Personally I don’t have means to get an app in the store and I doubt if Athom would accept an app that is just a downgraded version of their own app which they upgraded for a reason
But… MacMonty’s ‘fix’ is rather an upgrade to the current version, no? I can’t think why Athom would not be interested in that.
I didn’t check MacMonty’s version because what I currently have is working.
Athom is not interested in any Greenwave solution that is getting data every this many seconds. It’s for a reason.
But that seems to be exactly what Mcmonty has fixed.
Que?
