Power Metering - Direct or Mesh

fi-bar-oh · 2016-01-30T17:43:38+0000

Quick question! Can anyone else confirm that power metering as part of a mesh network sucks? yet with direct communication with controller it is very reliable? I can simply move my antenna from one side of a room to the other to enable or disable power metering on 2 devices yet switching etc works perfectly! Is power metering class an issue on Fibaro controller as part of a mesh network? or am I just unlucky and stuck in a signal issue bubble in my property? This is with a standard stubby antenna / a 9db antenna or even a beat of a 20db antenna used for long distance It seems regardless of antenna the power metering is always first to fail! I seriously cannot justify another gateway for (1) device!!! But can i justify a bug report if other suffer the same fate?
