Ok. So it is not guaranteed that it triggers within 8 hours, and theoretically it can take many, many hours to trigger (when price keeps dropping). However, the existing price peaks in the morning and evening prevent this. ---

Indeed. But if you want to have the lowest price guaranteed before a certain fixed time, there is a flow card for that as well. ---

I love the app. Now every single of my devices has an attached PBTH device logging cost and consumption… simply awesome. Is there any way the logged data can be visualized within Homey’s app on a kind of PBTH dashboard, without having to program or code anything? Im thinking histograms or pie charts showing consumption/cost by device (or group thereof) daily/weekly/monthly etc with an hourly/daily resolution? Like what FutureHome has by default in their app. Of course if theres a way to download that data in xlsx or csv for analysis in one click thats great too. Can always go via Homey Insights but that feels a bit heavy 😄 ---

> [@Jux2k2](#): > > histograms or pie charts showing consumption/cost by devic You could look at some of the dashboard topics in the forum. But it is a not very easy. Homey just has no functionality built in for that. ---

> Blockquote > Indeed. But if you want to have the lowest price guaranteed before a certain fixed time, there is a flow card for that as well. Yes, but that only takes into account the pricing for one specific hour right? I am looking for a solution to automatically start my dishwasher at night. It runs for 3.15 hours so I will need to have the lowest average price across 3 hours within the next X hours. That card doesnt exist, or am I overlooking it? 😊 ---

> [@Juppehup](#): > > That card doesnt exist Correct. I might add that one in the future. But ususlly the average low hours are grouped around the lowest hour. So the present available card already comes close. ---

Hi guys, Any idea why I keep getting negative values?? ![gas](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/8/e8507caef1518ed539fc30da000eb32c06bf5fe7.jpeg) I removed the devices and added them again. But it keeps happening with gas and power. Removed the app and re-installed it. No succes. Cheers, Wim ---

I have a problem adding a device. In this case it is a Plugwise plug that I use to measure the power my solar panels generate (OT: these measure minus figures, due to the solar panels not consuming but generating power). I can successfully add the Plugwise Plug, but receive an error when the device is finally shown: (sorry. Screenshot are in wrong order. Read from bottom to top!) ![Screenshot_2023-01-24-14-23-33-366_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/3/4381a4e7d87083209da95673449f6b4af9913b1a.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2023-01-24-14-23-24-930_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/6/660140eae90dd84cbb4061bd00303aad04a2a12d.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2023-01-24-14-23-13-813_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/8/380b4a405088fc60d91e73c5d1ca0e546c205b2d.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2023-01-24-14-23-00-442_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/e/feb0c0c3d08e59583315c541a00bb20197d86cad.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2023-01-24-14-22-40-995_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/0/30e39616579c78a028786d6dc298f2820f24b682.jpeg) PS After a recent update the Plug reported negative values (which is correct!

> [@Lars\_Faber](#): > > switching my energy meter for a new one screw up the counters? Yes. But you can manually compensate by entering the ‘start this day/month/year’ in advanced device settings. You need to enter negative values there if you get a new meter that starts at 0. ---

No, you need to enter the used values for this day/month/year. So e.g. if you used 150kWh this month up to now, you fill in -150 as this month start [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535.md?page=64) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535.md?page=66)
