yesterday i shut down my gyre for a few hrs to move some of the equipment out of the cabinet and into a coat closet. When I got everything plugged in and start up again my gyre is showing some really different power usage. i went from very consistent to something that seems very random. Any idea's what's going on? The yellow line is the gyre power usage.

well that's strange. i unplugged the gyre and connected another device to that outlet and its getting the same eratic power usage, however when i move it to another outlet it gives me a smooth constant power draw.

Sounds like you have either a bad power connection in that outlet, or the sensor reading power usage on that outlet is loose or going bad...maybe try getting a voltage read out on that outlet using a multimeter/volt meter or use an amp meter and plug your gyre back in and see what the amp draw is doing...see if it is fluctuating or not. If not fluctuating then probably bad/loose sensor.
