Hello Got namron edge and namron touch installed. Looks like these aren’t quite right in the app. They turn off the app but don’t turn it on again when they should. Any chance to look into this? Have also submitted a report on these. ---

Hi, I have installed a new thermostats that is not included in Piggybank. Is there any chance you can add Elko One Matter in the app? > **[Termostat med Matter One SO - elko.no](https://www.elko.no/produkter/54-termostater/termostat-med-matter/elko-one/termostat-med-matter-one-so)** > > ELKO One Matter termostat sort installeres enkelt og trenger ikke trådløst Wi-Fi.

After the frient app update, the frient energy meter dont longer report to piggy. Is it possible to fix that? Yes i know a fix is going for a flow, but i like when piggy does everything itself ---

A new developer has taken over the MQTT Hub app, and the app has gotten an new app ID. So MQTT meters readers (like AMS-leser/Pow-U) are not being detected by Piggy when installing this version (which is the only one available in the app store now). New app ID: org.mqtt.hub:device Old app ID: nl.hdg.mqtt:device ---

Would it be possible to add a checkbox (or any way) to enable and disable the [cumulative](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/energy#measuring-devices) property? As it is now (for me) both the piggy charge controller and easee app report the same power usage, and that causes Homeys Energy overview to be inaccurate since these two apps report the same power usage. ---

Could you also make it so that an mqtt reader with capability “meter\_power” is compatible with piggy as well. So it will look for either meter\_power or meter\_power.day. Just meter\_power is more standard and will make the mqtt device work with other apps as well (without having to make two identical capabilities on the device with different name to fit the need for piggy, and i.e. power by the hour app). ---

Are anyone expecting any issue with car charging? After latest Easee app update the dynamic charging current are not changing depending of max limit, it starting and stopping based on plan.

With the Easee charger, you don’t need all the status flows, it is detected automatically after the validation process. So you only really need one flow, to start charging, if you want it to schedule the charging. > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Piggy Bank](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-piggy-bank/66677/949): > > There are two options: In the app settings, set the Mode to “Controllable” for the charge controller device and use the flow “Start charging cheapest xxxx kWh/hours before hh:00” In the app settings, set the Mode to “Always on” for the charge controller device and it will only be power controlled. This is how I do it, others may do it differently, but this works well for me. I have two cars, a Tesla and a BMW that uses the same charger so I have some additional flows to detect which car is connected to the charger, but if you just have one car you can use Easee charger status changed to standby as trigger point. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/e/7ef578c18416d1ade4785666734c12d3c6a478eb.png) Then calculate how much it needs to charge (@dooniem have a good post on how to calculate kWh [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-piggy-bank/66677/312)) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/b/4b81d9087ad5067c9fe2a10394e75b77dd617f7e.png) Then finally start charging schedule ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/2/82fe9b9cedd8efb6803be03ed72285895c905e72.png) ---

Thanks for crediting my kW “tutorial” 🥰 Just like to add that after changing my tariff from 5kW to 10kW, Piggy set’s the average expected kW’s pr. hour higher than what my charger can produce in 1 hour, making the initial order completely wrong leading to picking less optimal “extra hours” during the re-calc every hour. So I added an extra step converting the needed amount of kW into hours using my own “expected kW’s pr. hour” variable. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/c/9c2ad51be6f0c7459dede8d70c3d66a34199edc8.png) Maybe some of you are better off using hours instead of kWs as well… ---

Maybe you have added your charger to Tibber or similar that also can control the charger? If you use the Easee app, you can go there in the charger settings and change operator to i.e. Easee to disable influence from other places. (it can then not be controlled by i.e. Tibber) ---
