Yes I have been thinking about that, and it should be up to about 0.20 at this 
point. But now I have incremented it to 0.12 for the last patch.

This have been done. I don't think it was needed to put 0.13 in the driver as 
it is only a comment.

Yes that is a good idea.

The problem is that the driver is not parsing this outlet block.
This is in the TODO:

Quote:
Size of outlet monitoring block: (High priority)
To check if a outlet block is present.
Parse the outlet block to get the info about the
number of outlets and load segment state
(On, Off, On pending Off, Off pending On, Failed and closed, Failed and Open)
And the timers (Auto off delay, Auto on delay)
If this exist it is possible to use the
'Set outlet parameter command (0x97)' to alter the delay
settings or turn the outlet on or off with a delay (0 - 32767 seconds)
Also enable the outlet on off or shutdown-return commands in the driver.
(Check 'Communication Port List Block' down the list for more info)
Unquote.

So what you can get from the outlet is the number of outlets. Then
the list holds:

outlet number ( 1, 2, 3 ..) . 

State of outlet. (On, Off, On pending Off, Off pending On, Failed and closed, 
Failed and Open) 

Auto Off delay (seconds (16bit int))

Auto On delay  (seconds (16bit int))
