    The temperature is OK, but displayed data of power consumation is not OK from few last builds of FW

    Does the problem persist after resetting the energy counters?

    Added after 4 [minutes]:

    EDIT: seems ok for me?

    Does the problem persist after resetting the energy counters? YES, in picture shown "energy clean data". First shown value is OK, after second - problem persist. In "Periodic statistic" - too. My last and worked ok version has been OpenBK7231N_1.17.439.rbl, after I flash with 501, and see this problem. I back 439 again, and problem exist after reset counters...

    Can you share maybe your autoexec.bat and flag settings so we can replicate your issue? I tested on both T and N modules but so far I can't replicate that issue.

    Well, it's not the first time. I already covered that kind of repair there:
    https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3898805.html
    It is recommended to run PowerSave 1 on devices (except IR and BL0937) to reduce the stress on the power supply.

    look at the capacitors. I have another module the problem is same...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around incorrect power consumption data displayed by the BK7231 Plug after recent OpenBeken firmware updates. Users report that resetting energy counters does not resolve the issue, with one user noting that the problem persists even after reverting to a previous firmware version (OpenBK7231N_1.17.439.rbl). Others are unable to replicate the issue, suggesting a potential configuration problem. Eventually, one user identifies a faulty inflated capacitor in the module as the cause of the incorrect readings. Recommendations include checking capacitors and using the PowerSave command to alleviate stress on the power supply.
