Thanks Reinder,

Cheers, Verkenner

What are the changes? I can't find this information on the website.

Before you update you can first read the release notes.

I'm not a Beta user and as i said in my previous post i can't find any information on Source 2.22 on the PlugWise site, not even the release notes.

is there an update for the circles?
the last weeks i sometimes "lose" some circles
i lose 7 circles or more, an hour later they are back

my network is 31 plugs and never had problems

Please see the beta release notes below (changes in relation to version 2.21).

@Reinder

In the fixes list i see : #2949 Reports: Gas usage shown as production, can Source 2.22 measure Gas usage and what hardware is needed.

Yes, the Source is prepared to read gas values from the Dutch Smart meter (according to the P1 Companion Standard energiened.nl/_upload/bestellingen/publ ... l%20P1.pdf).
What you need is:
1. a Dutch Smart Meter according to the DSMR 2.1 final standard
2. a Plugwise "Smile-P1"

1. To get a Smart meter, you have to wait (for years ) till your grid owner changes the meter, buy a new house (all new installed meter from 1-1-2012 are smart meters according the standard) or ask you grid owner for a "prio plaatsing". See by example Liander: liander.nl/liander/slimme_meter_2012/pr ... atsing.htm.
2. To buy a Plugwise "Smile-P1" wait till Plugwise releases this product. They are now testing with it. I think it will be released around May/June.
If you are willing to arrange a "prio plaatsing slimme meter" I would suggest that you contact Plugwise. I know from a realible source that Plugwise is still looking for Smile-P1 testers, this could be interesting.

How it works, very simple.
You connect the Plugwise Smile-P1 to the smart meter (small box with cable to connect to the smart meter and power adapter). The Smile-P1 must be configured to join you private Wifi.
Download and install the Android or iOS APP on your smart phone and you have the smart meter (actual power usages, historic graphs and gas usages by wifi on your phone and in the Source).

Reinder,

Thanks for the detailed information, is the Nuon E-manager also a possibility, as i understand this is a gateway with two sensors, one for electricity and one for gas, the sensors count light pulses. The gateway uses Z-wave, ZigBee or 6LoWPAN for communicating.

Only its useless when u have solar panels The Smile P1 will be able to show that u produce more then u use, atleast thats what the HD off Plugwise says.

Well first I was excited that they finally implemented some more movement support in the webserver. Bit it seems like the movement graphs have gone downhill. In 2.21 the movement graphs were near real time. You would almost immediately see any new movement in graphs. It would even nicely highlight any ongoing movement in yellow. But now the movement graph is lagging 30 minutes or so behind. It does switch the appliances with triggers correctly on/off though. As a lack of support for the Scan in the template engine I would like to (ab)use the graph for automating movement detection.

In the beta i came across a script option, but i dont get it to work with the pte schripts that are in the www folder.
Maybe u can use it to script from a broadcast from the scan when its registered in source?
After updating source it looks its gone, or hidden?

Earlier I posted a bug in Source version 2.16. It still occurs in 2.22 beta, but I think I know the cause.
See post domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=39& ... 849#p46030 for the bug details.
The motherboard on which the source is setup, has a clock that runs a bit too slow, which is why the clock is synchronized with the internet (time.windows.com) and this is done about 10 times a day.
Since the summertime this year, I noticed that the gaps in the measurements are now around 1 o'clock in the morning, in stead of the start of a new day like in the wintertime happened.
Could this be the reason that data is thrown away?

After installing Source 2.22 beta (20120404.2) 15 minutes ago I constantly get two windows popping up, "Schedules" and "HTTP". Looks like debugging information? See attachment.
