Post subject:  No accurate reporting of 0 consumption.

Hi,

I got my optimsmart reader and envir display last week. Like probably everyone does I went looking for the silent energy consumers to find out the minimal energy consumption of my home. So I started to switch off the power groups one by one until all were switched off. At this time my meter does not generate any led pulses anymore since no energy is being consumed. However my Envir display still reports a constant usage of 165Watt. How long does it take the Optismart to adapt to such a energy drop, or can't it handle a drop to zero consumption ?

Hi, how were you powering the EnviR?

My ones can read a lot lower load than that after a few minutes.

The lower the load, the longer time is required to count the very infrequent pulse count.
