Wall plugs in strange state

[Guest tarentula]

Hi all,

 

I have a script for turning off a bunch  of wall plugs (eight of them) at sunset. The plugs mostly controls lamps in the windows. Very often (almost every time) one or two of the wall plugs will end up in a strange state. The plugs look turned off in the interface, and the built-in led lighting is turned off, but the lamp is still turned on and it shows consumption greater than 0 in the interfaces. 

 

The code I use to turn off a lamp is very simple, and I have 5 second delay between turning off each lamp:

fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.DiningRoom.WindowLampEast.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.DiningRoom.WindowLampSouth.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.Entrance.WindowLamp.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.Kitchen.WindowLampEast.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.Kitchen.WindowLampNorth.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor1.LivingRoom.WindowLampWest.Id, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor2.BedRoom.WindowLamp, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);
fibaro:call(hT.Floor2.TvRoom.WindowLamp, "turnOff");fibaro:sleep(interCmdDuration);

 

Once the code has executed and if I have a wall plug in a faulty state, I can run the code below and get the result of 'value' = 0 but power usage is still 16.6W. How can that be? 

When I issue the same turnOff-call again, the lamp is turned off completely (power consumption = 0) and everything looks as expected. 

 

fibaro:debug("Lamp value: " .. fibaro:getValue(lampId, "value"));
fibaro:debug("Lamp power usage: " .. fibaro:getValue(lampId, "power"));

 

Output:
[DEBUG] 09:20:35: Lamp value: 0
[DEBUG] 09:20:35: Lamp power usage: 16.6

 

I added 5 wall plugs (FGWP102) a couple a weeks ago and that's when the issues started. Before that (when having 3 wall plugs) everything worked perfectly and the old wall plugs are never the ones that behave strange, only the new ones .

I also have a very similar problem when lighting the lamps but I guess if you can help me figure out this one, the other is just a symptom of the same problem. 

 

As you can see in the attached picture, two plugs are in faulty state and one plug has communication issues. This also happens frequently.

 

The wall plugs are quite expensive so I'm considering returning them on warranty. But if anyone in this forum can help me or if anyone from Fibaro would like to troubleshoot on my installation I'm willing to support that. 

 

Thanks
Peter
