Hi @Gruijter , I wonder if it’s possible to track energy I’m getting from grid and sending to grid. For this case, it’s inverted device, which has following capabilities : capabilities":[“measure\_solar\_power”,“measure\_load”,“measure\_feed\_in”,“measure\_battery\_power”,“measure\_battery\_soc”,“measure\_solar\_dc\_1”,“measure\_solar\_dc\_2”,“status\_inverter\_use\_mode”,“status\_inverter\_run\_mode”,“measure\_export\_limit”,“measure\_generation\_today”,“measure\_temperature\_battery”,“measure\_temperature\_inverter”,“measure\_power”,“measure\_battery”,“measure\_battery\_power\_today\_max\_in”,“measure\_battery\_power\_today\_max\_out”,“measure\_feed\_in\_today\_max\_in”,“measure\_feed\_in\_today\_max\_out”,“measure\_load\_today\_max”,"measure\_solar\_power\_today\_max

I can probably make virtual device / DC device, which will populate measure\_feed\_in as measure\_power and then add it as Power by the hour device ? I’m trying to replicate this but seems PBTH is not picking up such device… ?

I just wonder, wouldn’t it be possible simply to select capability when pairing/creating and/or maintenance device and the flow direction (eg. negative for getting power from grid and positive when exporting grid - so both can be tracked) ? That would simplify such requirement (tracking exported energy, tracking imported energy and associated costs)
