The SmartSwitches should auto update in the UI every few seconds.
I've had instances where they've stopped updating in the UI and I've needed to do a "Configure node right now" to get them started again.
I am not sure if this is correct. When you initially add the device, it will configure the polling within Vera. The default polling is set at 60 seconds. The easist way to confirm this would be to set Polling in the "
Advanced" tab to
0 (zero) which is no polling. Do not leave it
blank to test this because
blank inherrents the Vera global defaults and therefore, your Vera would still be polling the device.

Monitoring Energy ConsumptionThe Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch can report wattage
energy usage or kWh energy usage to a Z-Wave gateway or
controller
when requested. If this function is supported by
the gateway/controller, the energy consumption will be
displayed in the user interface of the gateway/controller.
(The specific Z-Wave commands supporting energy
monitoring are the Meter Command Class and Multilevel
Sensor Command Class.) Please consult the operation
manual for these gateways/controllers for specific
instructions on monitoring the Smart Energy Switch.
