I did not even realize the power meter function was actually supposed to be working in 076 or 080. I have never had any readings and was still under the assumption that even though peanut firmware had been updated to support it in April (?) that we were still waiting for it to be added to the A+ FW and app.
I have unpaired and repaired peanut several times, unplugged and replugged it in. It is on the April FW ( LCD shows no updates available) and get all 0's across the board .
Up until now I just used peanut for a lamp control, so I could shut of the wife's bedside lamp if she fell asleep with it on, without climbing over her. With the summer coming, I thought it might be interesting to see just how much it is costing me to have A/C running in the bedroom. So I moved the plug and plugged a/c unit into it. Turned on A/C and no readings. I brought peanut downstairs closer to A+. Removed and repaired it through LCD. Checked FW updates then brought it back upstairs. I plugged it in and turned on A/C, nothing for power readings. Removed it from the outlet and then plugged it back in, turned a/c on again, still nothing.
Brought it back downstairs, removed, repaired, rebooted again and just plugged in a lamp, to test usage meter, still nothing. Left it plugged in and reset it, removed,repair still no power meter readings. Gave up. So right now I have the option of shutting the a/c off with app or with it's own remote. Peanut useless to turn a/c on, since unit defaults to off after any loss of power.
