What should happen if your contract starts in the middle of May? E.g. 15 May. What should ‘this month’ total do? Should every month reset to 0 on the 15th? Or on the first of each month? ---

Difficult, is it possible to leave this free so that a user can fill it in themselves? It is a fact that it has to be reset every month. But on what day?? For me this is around the 20th that data is read. ---

Ok, I created a test version for you. If after the next month starts it all turns out fine I will release it as stable: v2.6.0 - Added support to set start date of year. > **[Power by the Hour](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.gruijter.powerhour/Power-by-the-Hour/)** > > Summarize the energy/water usage or (solar) production per hour, day, month and year. Use dynamic tariffs. ---

Thank you, I’m going to test right away but indeed, have to be patient for a month 😉 ---

Hi Robin @Gruijter , Is it possible to add a ‘Status Indicator’ to the app? This could make it possible to see the summerized data for a certain periode right from the tile. I know you have a version of the app in beta but hope you can add this to it. ---

Hi Ralf, Probably not. The status indicator only works for Homey standard capabilities like power. But for the totals I created a custom capability because otherwise they would show in Homey energy (and you don’t want that for the pbth totals). Maybe I can find a trick how to do it, but don’t get your hopes up on this… ---

If it is today the 11 you and your month is starting on the 12 then tonight it will reset the counter. For testing you have not to wait a full month. You can fill in 12 as starting date. ---

Exactly! I already tested this a few day ago and it works for both the monthly reset and the yearly reset. So I will release it as stable. ---

I was also thinking if you couldn’t use a “dummy” meter capability, jus for the sake of showing on the tiles. But if this messes with homey energy it might not be the best idea indeed. Too bad 🙂 ---

Hi Ralf and others, I found out it is possible to create custom capabilities that can be displayed on the device tile. I could add that to the app. Problem is that it would only work for new PBTH devices. So existing devices (that probably already have a lot of insights history that you do not want to delete) will not be able to benefit from this. What do you think. Shall I change the PBTH device capabilities in the next release, and keep the existing capabilities as legacy for PBTH devices that you don’t want to delete? ---

Hi, Sounds as a good idea to me. Good work 🙂 I’m not using the insights history for these devices yet. Only changing the meter values isn’t an issue. When you’re looking for a beta tester… ---

Are there other users of PBTH were the counters of the month did not reset to 0 at the first of the month? . My fridge has now used in 2 day 32 kW. 😀 Soware 2.6.0 Homey fw 7.1.4 ---

since I’m on homey firmware V7.1.4, after a reboot I always have that my Plugwise Smile V3 gets lost in the Power by the hour app. But my Smile is present in Homey? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b37861d5e2cf4f91fe9db48acdecd5a8170372f2.jpeg) ---
