I followed @philhawthorne guide to automating dumb appliances. Used my dishwasher It works great! Anybody who doesn’t know what I’m talking about…
I have a weird problem with my Z-Wave plug randomly turning off. Which due to its location is effecting the wife acceptance factor!
So far i have
- Disabled any switching of group.all_switches within all automations/scripts (No Brainer)
- Ensured the switch isn’t being changed by any other automations/scripts (" ")
- Changed the plug module from a Green Energy module to a TKB
Are there parameters i can change to disable the switching of the plug making it just a meter?
I do have a possible solution of creating an automation to ensure it stays on but this feels dirty and wouldn’t help if the dishwasher was mid cycle.
My setup if relevant is a Synology Server, Docker, Aeotec Gen5 USB with 70+ other Z-Wave devices.
