Oh I do trust your comments, Jan. That’s not it. It was just strange to me the flow cards on the app page don’t show it’s capability to switch all 6 independently 🤗 > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > I believe you if it’s possible to switch all sockets individually​😉 ---

> [@Caseda](#): > > Every socket of the power brick will be their own “device” inside Homey, so I you’ll get 6 (maybe even 7 counting the zwave chip) different entities, which is why there is only on/off. Ah! Got it & never thought of that. Thanks. ---

Welcome @Rudi_Hendrix , somehow I have the feeling I know you 😀 As I told you: “Stop messing around with Domoticz, You can’t live without a Homey” WAF goes up and happy wife = happy life. ---

Yes, I did find that familiar name on other parts of the forum 🙂 Thanks for providing me access to your Homey. That way I was able to play around with it for a while before purchasing one. Now you can do that through Homey (Cloud), but that is not yet available for me. As you know, I ordered my Homey Pro yesterday. So, let’s see how it wil work out for me! > [@Caseda](#): > > Every socket of the power brick will be their own “device” inside Homey, so I you’ll get 6 (maybe even 7 counting the zwave chip) different entities, which is why there is only on/off. > > But indeed they removed the power reading from each separate socket, I believe there is only a aggregate one now, they removed reach power reading because of the amount of data causing issues for some users if they put the polling rate too low, and didn’t want to bother anymore. Sounds good! Having an overal power reading is ok. As long as I am able to switch the separate sockets, I am happy. > [@xAPPO](#): > > Kudos to you Peter for taking the time for such helpful replies to Rudi’s post Yes, definitely appreciated! Coming from Domoticz this feels like a breeze! If you look for some support on Domoticz it is always fiddling and messing. It is hardly ever straight forward. I do have things up and running now, but I have Domoticz, Deconz, Homebridge etc all needed to have my smart home running. > [@xAPPO](#): > > Rudi - if you get stuck implementing an integration on Homey you can always leave a minimal Domoticz install running and publish the info to MQTT and then read that into Homey, probably providing control back to Domoticz too. That way you can tread water until a suitable Homey integration appears. I am not going to integrate Domoticz and Homey. I am however going to replace everything bit by bit. Nice to rethink all automations! 😉 > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > > [@Rudi\_Hendrix](#): > > > > trigger stuff from the car using the built in web browser > > That should work. Unfortunately it doesn’t. I tried using the web browser to control my brother’s Homey, but the web browser built in in the Tesla is not that sophisticated I guess. Not a big issue. ---

> [@Rudi\_Hendrix](#): > > Having an overal power reading is ok Sorry, there is no overal power reading, only socket 1 has power reading, all sockets can be switched individualy. There is a post on this forum for preventing the blinking of the green light. ---

Ah ok. Still no issue! Then I just need to make sure I connect my PC to that socket. For me it is just to make sure that I only switch off the sockets if my computer is switched off. ---

Should be discounted from € 399,- to € 379,- but was € 279,- instead. I’m happy! ---

Crap, you know you can’t file any complaint about Homey here now? But congrats, you got the Homey deal of the decade imho! 🍻 ---

For those interested, there’s a new developer release.
