Measure tool: Time-out not honoured for stand-by measurement ?

Hi !

I am trying to use a Fibargroup, FGWP102 to measure an LTA004, but get a Power measurement is outdated error.

I’ve tried decreasing the time between reports on the FGWP102 and increasing the SLEEP_TIMER in the .env file to 30 seconds, but looking at the debug-log this time-out does not appear to be honoured for the wait-time between samples when performing the stand-by measurement. Or am I misinterpreting the purpose of the SLEEP_TIMER ?

To the extent relevant, I’m running the tool in a docker container on Windows, the image id is 6f3a84da8137 HomeAssistant OS v7.1 core-2021.12.10 supervisor-2021.12.2

Nice. Make a pull request is no rocket science. Just Google it. “Github create pull request”. Than you will also be marked as contributor, learn some new skill and it takes me less time.

Yes I have added a feature some time ago that you can resume the measurements later on. The wizard will ask you if you want to do that. What setting do you have your SLEEP_TIME now? If you still have that at 30 you can set it at 5 now.

If you still have it on 30 the measurements will take ages.

This is also a good point to inspect the CSV by eyeballing for correctness. Do you see slowly increasing wattages? And no 0 values?
