Greenwave Powernode 6 doesn't refresh power usage

Hardware
1

I’ve got a Greenwave Powernode 6 power strip. The switches are working fine, but the energy usage (“Electric Consumption [W]”) doesn’t update automatically. It only works when I press Refresh in the ZWaveJS2MQTT interface.

I can set the “Min. variation of load current” (0-100, default 10), but it isn’t clear to me what it means (absolute or relative value? Why max 100 and why no decimals?) and it doesn’t make a difference.

I’ve tried to use Automations to update the values, but that doesn’t work.

Any idea how I can make this work?

I solved this by polling energy usage: ZwaveJS2Mqtt.

But I still like to understand what ‘Min. variation of load current’ means.

i was looking to make it more quiet in reporting power usage fluctuations so i ran into your topic. For anyone looking at this too at any time: The number is a percentage (hence the 0 and 100 range)\

Parameter 0: Min. variation of load current

Minimum variation in load current before a message is sent. Value in percent (30 => 30%) Values in the range 0 to 100 may be set.

The manufacturer defined default value is 0.

This parameter has the configuration ID config_0_1 and is of type INTEGER.
