Add capability to the Energy Account device that, for accounts with Smart Devices, tracks how much of the (forthcoming) dispatch limit of 360 minutes has been consumed. If the account has more than one Smart Device then the dispatch consumption of all Smart Devices is summed. There are no Trigger Flow Cards defined for the capability in this version. The 360 minute limit is currently hardcoded.

A new defect just appeared in 1.0.38. See post at bottom.
Evening all. A new defect has appeared in the App log. It first appeared at 14:51 today 11th January. Itâs associated with Smart Energy device (so must be Smart Tariff user). Itâs occurring pretty frequently - every 2 or 3 minutes since it started. If you have noticed the app isnât working for you then please let me know here or by PM so I can work out what is going wrong.
Given that the release has been clean until today and that, according to the App log, there is a new installation out there somewhere, I guess the two things are related.
I will review the code and see if anything obvious leaps out.
This is a point release to apply a fix for issue #14. This is not a full resolution since I do not understand the root cause of the defect; it should allow the app to operate without errors. It is possible that the smartDevice instance that has been triggering the defect will never display any updates to its capabilities.
If you are seeing that a smartDevice instance is not showing updates to its capability values please get in touch so I can more fully analyse the defect and create a fuller resolution. Either reply here or use a PM.
The defect appears to be related to issue #12. The problem manifests in the same way (but may have a different root cause).
Please upgrade to the new version as soon as you are able.
Have a re-purposed ancient windows laptop on which I have installed Zorin to re-vivify the machine. It has a really noisy fan and the battery is dead, but plugged into the mains it does perfectly well as a really simple server on the home network.
This evening I finally got around to installing the Homey Self-Hosted server. Added the Kraken app and created my devices. Also added Tado and my Air Pump. Now I have an alternative environment where I can test the app while I keep my Homey Pro for âproductionâ use. Havenât decided whether to add the inverter, Solar PV and battery yetâŚ
Hmm might try that. Or just move everything on to SHS with a Bridge and then decide what to do with my Homey Pro. Though, to be fair, the ex-Windoze machine is flakey enough that I shall continue to use it while I can but fully expect it to die sometime soon. Plans for a Ugreen NAS soon - I see that SHS now has an official install for Ugreen. So itâs all up in the air for now.
