Depending on the !PowerMax model this can take longer.[[Image(powermax_reading.png, right)]] 68 * In case enrollment is not successful the message 'Vera Powerlink not enrolled.' will be displayed and the plugin will switch to Standard Mode. 69 * Once all settings are read the notification 'Ready for use' will be displayed. 70 * At this point the plugin is fully operational.
