In rare cases, a second discovery run is needed. PCA301 sockets are polled every 120 seconds by default. This results in sockets not being found by the discovery. In order to make sure the socket is discovered, press the button on the socket during discovery (and make sure you have paired the socket to the USB stick / LaCrosseGateway before by pressing the button for 3 seconds while the receiver is powered).
