Hey Blade, I'm not totally sure if this is an issue for you or an HS3 bug, but I figured I'd start here and if you think it's an issue for them I'll put in a report on bugzilla.
I've been working on migrating to HS3 and moving my events over from my HS2 system. I just started working on my events that are triggered by my ECM 1240 power monitors, and I'm using your BLPowerMonitor plugin to talk to my ECM 1240's.
However, I've just discovered that there doesn't appear to be any way for me to actually trigger an event based on any of the devices created by your plugin.
HS3 gives us options for event conditions based on a device's value that look like they might work, such as "This device has a value that is greater than..." or "This device has a value that is less than..." or "This device has a value that is in the range of...". However, none of these will actually trigger an event when I'm using it with one of the BLPowerMonitor devices.
If I go to the configuration screen for one of your devices, then click on the advanced tab I can see that the value is listed as 0 all of the time, and the string has the actual value of the device.
I'm not totally certain what the relationship between the device value and the device string is in HS3, but I'm thinking that your plugin may need to be setting the value instead of (or perhaps in addition to) the string so that these devices can be used to trigger events.
Let me know what your thoughts on this are, or if I'm missing a way to trigger events based on the amount of power that is being drawn.
Thanks,
Brett
