Hi,

After 2 days I found out that my RFXMETER wasn't working (resetting the power aparently solved the problem).

The RFXCOM DB lists the same values since it started to fail for: power, gas and water

After changing the "comm failure timeout" of the Gas device in HomeSeer (from 170 minutes to 60 minutes), the device suddenly showed "Communication Failure".

Question: Is there a reason why I shouldn't set the "comm failure timeout" from 170 min (default) to, say 60 minutes? The "Communication Failure" allows me identify the problem sooner.

Question: If it says "Communication Failure", will the plugin still write values to the DB?


Thank you!

Default can be used and should show the comm failure too.

The comm failure timeout for the RFXMeter can be set to (2 x reporting interval ) + 1 minute
The best value for the reporting interval of the RFXMeter is 1 or 6 minutes. (30 seconds is producing too much RF traffic)

Thank you Bert!
