Same problem, different day…
I would like to measure the total daily energy consumption in kWh of my phase 3. My heat pump is connected to this phase.
I have a Homey dongle that (unfortunately) only measures power in watts. And not meter power.
Using a flow, I send the watt value to a virtual energy summarizer. Which is configured with “source = watt”.
However, I am getting strange (negative) values for the total consumption per hour/day.
I checked the values being sent, and they are always positive (47, 50, 500, 47).
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
So, no news then.
Since Midnight, 15 minute prices are back. ![]()
@Gruijter I set the home usage in the battery monitor to 0 W, but it still does not pick the better export price.
In the screenshot, the yellow line is the export price. The strategy seems to ignore the higher export price peak, while it does select the lower import price afterwards. Since home usage is set to 0 W, I would expect the export price to be considered directly, without any correction for household consumption.
Could you check whether the ROI strategy is actually using the export price in this case?
New version 8.9.4 is ready for testing: https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour/test/
- Resolve missing prices issue
- Prevent battery provider flip-flopping
- Fix Homey overload on hourly updates
- General stability improvements
- Homey-api 3.19.1
This should fix the issues you reported @Geert1992 @Bart_van_der_Wolf @Jakko_Paadik
Will look at it with high hopes.
The hourly Homey overloads are an interesting mention I’ll be looking out for as well, although there could potentially be other things that could cause it, but I haven’t identified which. Would be great if this solves that as well.
Thanks! Installed allready and looking out for any anomalies.
Hi @Gruijter ,
As reported directly to you, flow cards with an expected time-input actually have a number input field:
Therefore, the cards are not working (properly). As far as I can see, only the ‘time from’ is wrongly configured, the ‘time to’ is fine.
This is a good thing! Times are decimal in PbtH, so can make calculations. So 8,5 is in fact 8:30. Easy to transform this.
If that’s true, I really don’t understand how the card is functioning.
This test:
Expected (I guess): the card will trigger the 20 lowest quarters between 20.30 and 23.00 hrs.
Actually: it’s triggering ‘whole day’ (maybe 20.5 is just ignored and only 20 lowest and 23 hrs is considered?). I know there are no 20 quarter intervals between 20.30 and 23.00 hrs (10 only, it is part of the test, as I expected an error when setting), but when I choose 5 cheapest, nothing happens as well.
So, if card is working properly, how to use it correctly?
Hi guys, before anything else, sorry for posting in the wrong subject. How can I start a new topic?
I have PbtH running on Homey Pro 2023 with the newest firmware and updated PbtH app.
I am using PbtH a while now and it works fine for me with 6 other devices. (Innr plugs) Yesterday I added a Fibaro plug and an Innr plug. They both have power reporting. In PbtH I added 2 Stroomsamenvatters for these plugs and filled the tariff and so on. I noticed that there are no calculations made for any of the variables for eacht of the new PbtH devices. What am I doing wrong? I compared the settings with the ‘working’ devices. It has been a while since I have set up the older devices so maybe I’m forgetting something. Any thoughts on what I am forgetting?
Cheers!

Hi Wim, did you fill in the Tarief Update Groep?
I have been tetsting (no Dynamic contract yet) with the Settings/prices of ANWB Energy. \
But I will probably will get a Dynamic contract with Zonneplan, can I just rename the Devices and change the settings ? Styartdate of tghe contract (0107) will be unchanged.
btw, cab I add the 10% bonus and 2 cent extra somehow ?
Also still unsure how the have the app calculate the exported energy and the value of these..
yes
Depends what you mean. In the DAP device you can enter kWh related costs for different use cases. How does your provider calculate bonus and extra 2 cents?
When your main meter (in Homey Energy) reports a positive use over a 15m period it will use the import tariff from the DAP. If it reports a negative use it will use the export tariff from the same DAP. You can set the different cost markups for import vs export in the DAP. Note: Your main meter must be correctly setup in Homey Energy.
It adds 10% and 2 cent bonus to power delivered back to them..
It adds 10% and 2 cent bonus to power delivered back to them
So just add that to the export tariff settings in DAP ![]()
