If you add «strømregning - enhet» which «strømregning» will it get its prices from?
I see that a «strømregning» created in an earlier version has less option to choose from when choosing «statusindicator». Is there any way to fix this?
I will also say that I combine this app, with the app «groups». I group all my heating cables to report consumption to a «strørmregning - all heating cables». In «strørmregning - all heating cables» I set the «nettleie - fast kostnad» to 0, but the rest of the prices I specify. This works very good I just wanted you to know so that future changes to the app dont change this
I recommend just one “Strømregning”, and you can have several “Strømregning - enhet”. But it’s up to you.
It will get it’s settings from “the first” “Strømregning” …
“Strømregning - enhet” does not add fixed amounts (grid yearly, or utility monthly). So I think you can use the new “Strømregning - enhet” for your heating cables.
I just installed the test version, and in the web interface there is no way of discerning the device types. They are both shown as “Norwegian Utility Bill”, so I can’t see which one is the slave device. I have my Homey set to English, it might be different if it was set to Norwegian. Haven’t checked the phone app, because I’m currently in the process of transferring to a new phone.
Thanks for your reply. I find the app groups a bit unstable. Do you know of any other way to achieve my scenario as described in the previous post - without using the groups app?

I am really happy with this app, but I have a small (I hope) additional wish. Currently, the app only shows energy usage for the current day and for the current year. It would be nice to have energy also for current month (and possibly last month) as well. I know that the costs for current and last month are there, but it would be nice to also have the energy shown.
Sure, it would just be convenient if it was directly available in the app, since there is already costs per month. And by doing it like you suggest, I can no longer see the current daily value (it would instead show the accumulated monthly).
Again, I can of course use flows to get around that too, so not a big deal, I just thought it would be nice to have in the app.
A quick question: My app was automatically updated to this new version, which is fine. However, is it possible to switch to the official release version to not get automatic updated to test versions? Is it as easy as just pressing “install” on the release version? And if so, does that preserve all data?
Oh, absolutely. I’m all for helping out with beta testing, but in some cases the new features might not be of interest to me, and if the test version breaks something else, that would be annoying.
So I decided to test the new features, as using energy instead of power should be even more accurate (given the fact that when the device itself does the accumulation, it should have a higher internal sample frequency). It seems to work fine, but there’s a side effect that you might want to do something about. Look at this screenshot:
Current cost is a wee bit off (understatement of the year), and also negative. This device (the water heater) hasn’t been on for some hours when the screenshot was taken, but I guess the device that measures power and energy has perhaps sent updates to the energy with identical values, which messed up your calculation.
Another side effect of using energy is that “Current cost” will stay at some value even after the device is no longer drawing any power, which could perhaps be confusing for some. The most obvious fix is perhaps to allow for also reporting current power to the “Strømregning”-device, and have it simply prioritize energy values, but use power to determine whether there is actually any power draw or not.
