That is excellent!
Then it will be the same behavior and much easier to understand. Good work! :slight_smile:

448

And would it make sense to show the money for last hour/day/month/year in the device? It would make it easier to compare at a glance, but the device info will significantly grow so you need to scroll more. @Morgan

I think it is good to have this hour/day/month/year in the device. No, need for previous.
It is good to have previous hour/day/month/year in Insight.

Too late :rofl:

I already am testing it

v3.6.0 is ready for testing

Changes from 3.4.1 (current stable version):

  • Added previous hour/day/month/year money values.
  • Added min/max peak values.
  • Added dynamic peak value reset via flow.
  • Added min/max flow triggers.
  • Added support for more source devices including P1 DSMRv4.
  • Fixed tariff change from flow sometimes not working.
  • Fixed legacy migration failure.
  • Small improvements.

Changes from 3.5.1 (previous test version):

  • Added previous hour/day/month/year money values.
  • Removed money_this from insights.
  • Fix minMaxReset time display
  • fix removeAllListeners on app unload.
  • Added support for more source devices, including P1 DSMRv4.
  • Ignore non-number meter values.
  • Prepare lastUpdated timestamp on poll.

And yet another new feature I am working on (besides ironing out some small bugs I discovered in 3.6.0):

https://homey.app/nl-nl/flow/Ci9lBW/

Selecting the virtual meter will allow any app/device that has an energy(kWh)/gas(m3)/water(m3) meter to use PBTH, even when the source app is using non-standard capabilities.

And ANOTHER feature is in the works that should enable using Power By The Hour by with any app/device that has a Watt meter with measure_power capability.

So once I am finished implementing this, you can turn your Watt meter that does not have an energy total, into a kWh meter!
@Tukun Especialy for you :kissing_heart:

Reminder for myself: use the terms energy and power in a consistent way. Homey is incorrectly naming an energy meter (kWh) a power meter. But a power meter is in Watts.

455

Why this happens? How to correct this?

looks like you are using a solar panel app that resets the kWh counter to 0 at midnight. Is that correct? If so, just switch on the ‘resets to 0 at midnight’ switch in the device settings.

457

Thanks for reply. No, I do not have a solar panel app. It seems that it has fixed itself, because now it shows correctly 
? Strange. But something probably happened at midnight, and do not know what. «see attach photos taken now» Very good app! Liked it especially well with min / max per day consumption😃

Ready to test version 3.60 but I have one question: how do I sent power to the virtual meter? What virtual meter is that and where can I find it?

I also have one minor suggestion. Is it possible to change ‘geld’ to ‘kosten’, in Dutch? I think that might be more correct.

Further more: awesome app. Thanks!

459

You have to wait until I am finished with the new version. It is quite a complex project so please be patient :wink:

In English I also named it ‘money’ and not ‘cost’ because when you use PBTH for your solar panels it is not costing you, but making you money :money_mouth_face:

460

Hi, great app!

Any change to be able to add more then one device? I want to show both Total price for today and current price per kWh.

Another question that I did not find any answer to here, Why show the symbol instead of currency like SEK/kWh?

461

You can add as many device as you have with a compatible capability (power/water/gas)

Euh, both are shown in the device tile. Can you post a screenshot showing what you mean?

Because not everyone in the world is using SEK :wink:. And unfortunately Homey does not allow for this information to be changed, so I have to hardcode it to the international currency symbol

462

I have a Pulse P1 that measure power. I have added a PBTH-device that shows current price. I want another device that show me today’s total cost. But as I already added my Pulse so that’s not an option, I can only add it once.

For the currency. I was thinking only a simple text field that give the options to change that symbol to what I want. So you can set your own currency and unit :slight_smile:

463

not possible with Homey. it must be hardcoded :frowning:

I still don’t understand what you mean. The PBTH device tile shows you the active TARIFF (= price) AND it shows you the MONEY THIS DAY (=total cost of the day). So what is it you are missing?

464

Is it possible to make a trigger cart that triggers when “laag tarief” change?

465

And how would PBTH know that the tariff changed?

You need to tell it yourself via a flow. E.g. based on the tariff from another app (plugwise p1, youless, beeclear, 
), or based on a time schedule.

So PBTH can never have a trigger card for tariff change. It has an action card to set the tariff in PBTH. Or am I not understanding your question?

466

Sorry, i looked to the tile of my Smile p1
 My bad :see_no_evil:

467

:rofl:
But still
 If you are using my Smile P1 app (not the ‘official plugwise’ app) you have a trigger card for tariff change, and you can do exactly this:
