Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm at a remote location - trying to get HG set up - have a deadline looming for departure.

Very close to getting HG working for me.  But can't seem to stop the meter.watts logging.  I get 3 entries in the log every 30 seconds (HomeAutomation.PhillipsHue Source 1, 2 & 3).

I've shut off everything I can find that might have to do with meter.watts - deactivated and even deleted the PhillipsHue program, but still getting the entry.  Reset, rebooted - everything short of reinstalling, but hesitate to reinstall which I'd think would require hardware setup again.

Any suggestions?

I had this problem before and the only solution I found was to uninstall and reinstall Homegenie.

Save your configuration before doing this and reload it after.

Yes, thank you - I saw your post and hoped there would be another way.  Uninstalling and reinstalling seems fairly drastic to solve this one problem.  It has taken me several days to get this working to my satisfaction, and I hate to have to start  all over!

Hope someone else has as simplified solution?

I just found out that if you enter a value in the "VM Watt" field of a module, then you will get a Meter.Watts line registered in the log file for that module.
