Power reading working for me on the Aeotec Smart Switch 6, just added it and made no changes to the default parameters (think I have to thank @caseda for a great job)
I'd advise to start reading documentation at the source, and not at the various user databases created on the net, I've found numerous errors on those sites.
Some information on the Smart Switch:

Hm, I don'y like having to repair stuff.... Did you do this fairly recently (s in... just after the update. Today / Yesterday)?
I did PTP, that didn't solve the issue with 1 sensor.
Did ptp but the strange thing was the sensors where still reporting the lux, so in the end only one thing was left for me was to remove and re-pair the sensor to homey.
And that did the trick, yesterday i did sensor 2 and my lights where working again.
I will be patient (or lazy) and see what happens over the next couple of days. Maybe some spontanious heailing will happen :-)
Repaired the one-not-reporting-sensor. Alle works again.
Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong when pairing?
Smart Switch 6 - Security feature.
It is not possible anymore to include my Smart Switch as a security device.
It worked before...
I removed the Switch with the Z-wave settings, reboot from Homey and a reset from the Switch.
Still cannot get it to work in in secure mode.
From the manual:
“Smart Switch is a security device that uses secure/encrypted message to communicate in Z-wave network, so a security enabled controller/gateway is needed and then you need to press the Smart Switch’s Action Button 2 times within 1 second when your security controller/gateway starts the network inclusion.”
“Including Smart Switch as a secure device:
In order to take full advantage of all Smart Switch functionality, you may want to use your Smart Switch as a security device that uses secure/encrypted messages to communicate in your Z-wave network, so a security enabled controller/gateway is needed and then you need to press the Smart Switch’s Action Button two times within 1 second when your security controller/gateway starts the network inclusion. If the inclusion is successful, the blue LED will be on for two seconds and then return to Energy Mode state when the output load is on state (the RGB LED remains solid) or Night Light Mode state when the output load is off state (the RGB LED remains solid with 10% brightness of purple colour). If the inclusion is unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for two seconds and then remain in gradient status”.
Any ideas?
the device will be included as secure if it is close enough to give a secure "secure key" hand shake with homey
(so within 2 meters).
this is done automatically, and you can see this if you open chrome's console part, or look very carefully at the messages displayed in the inclusion screen, it comes by very fast (not even half a seconds)
it can happen that it is not activated properly because of other traffic coming in between,
so not much homey can do about that.
Thanks for the advice.
After 6 more tries, with the switch next to Homey (and probably on a quiet moment), it worked.

power plugs. I don't get the power usage values.
Do not connect any other plug besides a light source, using applications such as desktops or laptops will destroy the dimming circuit. This is most likely why the Smart Dimmer 6 has ceased to function, it is not designed to work with any other kind of loads.
I indeed tried other stuff then lamps on it as i would like to use the dimmer as a switch as well - so i think this is ridiculous.
All the new devices are added but not the Wallmote
I have 2 wallmotes and is on my todo list for adding, not at the top though, so eventually it will be added.
Maybe by athom (robin) first, who knows
I can only say the sooner the better, but first thing first
Click on the wrench:
A screen with settings opens:
Motion alarm sensitivity (gevoeligheid) can be changed!
If possible, can you add the modified driver through a Pull Request to Athom's Aeotec app Github repository at: https://github.com/athombv/com.aeotec ?
