Thanks, the Power consumption for the previous day looks fine!

Since a few days after te last update I have lost the daily consumption as a number in the tiles on the overall scheme. Now a total number of the meter is presented. How can I restore the daily number in the tile?

For each device go to advanced device settings and select the status indicator you want.

Hallo Robin, It is confusing using the computer and the mobile device. On the computer I cannot find these settings. On de phone the settings of the tiles are to be found under settings and than the status indicator, not the advanced settings. Thanks, Harrr

PS is it correct that I have lost my settings after and due to your last update?

Please add support of the Qubino 3-Phase SmartMeter, because I would like to use this in PBTH without going through the workaround of a virtual device and additional flows and without using the wattage option as it is more inaccurate.

> @Gruijter now gas usage is constant with this temperatures, i see something strange in the logging of gas usage (l/min). It looks like gas usage isn’t calculated correct at each whole hour. See my screen print. The gas usage of P1 meter (lower graph in red, source is your Youless and Enelogic app) looks correct. The gas usage of PBTH (upper graph in brown) has a drop to zero at each hour. Total is correct, because It looks like the missing gas usage is added at the next interval. Not a big deal,…

Hi @Gruijter,

I found small differences between my “old” virtual device (Qubino SmartMeter with flows) and the newly integrated Qubino SmartMeter.  
The values of the newly integrated Qubino SmartMeter, e.g. kWh this hour, kWh this day, are reset to 0 kWh with a delay of up to 20 minutes (please have a look at the screenshots).  
I can’t imagine that it’s related to the newly integrated Qubino SmartMeters, but to the app itself.  
Is this the way it is supposed to be?

**kWh this Day**

You found a bug. I need to fix the hourly polling for the new Qubino driver. Will be fixed in the next version I expect.

@Gruijter, there is still a delay of 5 minutes. However, I did **not** re-add the Qubino SmartMeter as a new PBTH device. Does it need to be added again?

Ah, this might be caused by another new feature I just added. Go to the advanced device settings in PBTH and set the hourly poll delay to 0. That should make sure a poll immediately takes place at every whole hour. Otherwise it would first wait max. 5 minutes to see if a new value comes in without polling. And judging by your graph your qubino is not updating itself that often.

This is solved by entering 0 instead of 5 at the parameter _**Delay hourly poll (minutes)**_. 👍🏼

But I found out, that **all** capabilities _ **kWh this day/month/year** _ are reset every hour:

that is only for your Qubino? Or also for other energy devices? And does it only happen when you enter a poll delay of 5 minutes, and not when using 0?

Don’t know, because my other PBTH devices are all virtual devices. I have added a new “normal” energy PBTH device and will check it.

The hourly poll delay for the Qubino SmartMeter is set to 0 minutes actually.

Hi @Gruijter,  
I see a really strange behavior at the new energy PBTH device (refrigerator):
