Hi There. I, too, got frustrated with not having my battery reflected correctly in the Energy Tab. AVD can get close, but, as other posts have shown, it falls short by not setting the Energy Tab settings correctly. As a result I have created this app that is available as a test app in the app sto…

Hey Arie. Sorry to hear about the hospital stuff. That’s nasty. In the meantime I got what I needed - and I’m happy to share it too. Take time and get better - that’s the most important thing.

I have updated the app to generate unique device ids so that you can have as many unreal batteries as you want. Submitted for publication too. Here’s what you can see in the Energy Tab for the battery: Default View - net energy “under the house” [image] Click Once on net energy - changes to ch…

Wow, thanks for the help. I managed to set it up according to your instructions. I now have the bulb’s power, but now the question is, how do I set the kWh? [Opera Zrzut ekranu2026-04-15231418my.homey.app]

Thanks, and nice to hear. To calculate the kWh, you’ll need to know how it’s calculated (just in case you didn’t know yet): When the 500W (= 0.5kW) light is turned on for 1h, it used 1h * 0.5kW = 0.5kWh So, when it was on during 15h, it used 15h * 0.5kW = 7.5kWh It’s possible to record the “on” …
