[mh] RFXPower with a w800 ?

[declang <de...@de...>]

I added an RFXpower module to monitor my power usage.

Problem is, my w800 receiver only takes 32 bits, but the rfxcom transmits
and extra 2 bytes (1 data and one of packet type & parity check)

In my logs, I'm seeing the following.  I'm assuming the rfxpower is
transmitting this data, every 10 minutes, but I'm lost on how to handle it.

I should get 6 bytes transmitted, so am I seeing this as 4 bytes + 2 carried
forward to next line, or would the extra 2 bytes just vanish ?

To complicate things further, I don't even know if the rfxcom thing is
working or not. 
I guess it is, as I've seen the "bad checksum" pop up immediately when I
press the button on the rfxpower module to transmit its value, and it
"could" be set for 10 minutes transmit interval, not sure.

Any ideas / suggestions ?

I googled for ages, hoping someone had the same problem, or had even used
teh rfxpower module with an rfxcom receiver, but cant find anything.

Thanks.
