Well I finally got around to adding the power status for my Sherwood (if doesn't have a switched AC outlet on it which is a pain). I used a current switch and monitor it with my Ocelot SECU16I module. A quick change in the Netremote skin and it is now working. So nice to know which zone receiver is actually one. Pretty easy to have a task to go around and shut them off at night just in case something got left on.
I used one of those Mamac CT-800 current sensors with a short extension cord to cut into and wrap three turns around it. The SECU16I was very easy to use to monitor the relay inside with an added 1K Ohm resistor across the contacts.
So I have done power status two ways. I have to say it was cleaner and easier to use the AC switched outlets where possible and a wall-wart into the SECU16 module.
