Hi,

I have a pow elite(1001d4cd15) and a earu WiFi Smart Circuit Breaker (1001e2aa773)

The sonoff is very fast to switch and change the power values, power automations work perfecly with power \> or \< than x watts.

The earu has no problem switching but there is no power automations because of the firmware (you said in another topic) and power values are very slow to respond.

Is it also because of the firmware that it takes a log time or do the values goe to some crazy earu server very far away?

Hey

Some value fields report by schedule programmed in firmware/limited by hardware. So the behavior may vary across different devices. And it depends on the vendors.
