Hi @Ludo_Rampy,
You are not doing anything wrong, a Virtual device doesn’t have a (kwh/energy) meter capability therefore this is not and supported by Power Price.
I know you can setup energy settings for a Virtual Device. That will give real-time usage. This not how PowerPrice calculate energy consumption. Therefore you a need a start & end meter count.
I am just guessing but i could be wrong, all I need to do is set my tarrif cost and start a session and it will collect all the power usage from my devices, so if i start a seesion at the start of the day and end it at the end of the day i can see how mu ch it cost me for the day. or do i have to connect each and every device and set it everytime they turn on / off.
also how do i add Au$ it’s not listed
You are correct, per device (with energy measuring) or smart household meter you will start a session with tariff and the current energy meter count.
When ending you run the end card with tariff and energy meter count.
Afterwards the result is available in the Power Price device.
So per device you will have a energy session running.
F.e. Washing machine, smart energy socket…
Small grab of my devices:
I will add the AUS $ on my to-do list for the next update.
LIVE: 2.0.3):OPT: Change formatted cost from capability value & Improve translations
OPT: Added support for AUD, CAD & KRW currency unit
FYI @Ronwell
I’m reaching out because I believe your app can help me better manage my energy usage. I have a mix of smart plugs with and without power monitoring.
I’m looking for a way to:
If you could provide instructions on how to configure the app to achieve this, I’d be grateful. Please let me know if your support services incur any charges.
PowerPrice relies on device that have the energy meter capability. So unfortunately this will not work for devices (smart plug) without energy monitoring.
The way this app is measuring the device usage is by calculating the difference between the provided meter counters.
So we don’t measure or use the homey build in energy usage values from devices. (I’m not sure if that is even possible)
To have some sort of reports you could use build in Homey Insights per PowerPrice device or you could have a look at apps like f.e. Google Sheet to export PowerPrice data in your flows to this.
Sorry, but I have a question and I hope someone can help me. I haven’t been working on these new things for that long, but it is really fun to do (especially if you understand it).
Now I don’t quite understand it yet and I hope someone can help me. I have created a flow for my Quooker and it is connected to an Innr SP240 plug. Why do I not get any information and does it stay at 0kWh and how do I possibly see costs (over the entire month or the year?)
Thanks in advance for the help.
and how can this flow start by himself? My quooker was on but I did not see any information and price 
What I’m doing wrong? I like to see the price on my Quooker button.
I’m assuming your Innr plug is always on? Or do you manually enable/disable this? (Turning the Quooker boiler on/off)
Since your flow triggers relies on this your given flow will only work when you manually trigger the innr smart plug.
I would suggest to use the time trigger cards for start/stop when your smart plug is always turned on.
In the Power Price device capability’s you can see if there is an active measure session started.
Any information will also be logged in built in Insights.
In the device settings you can select the value that needed to be displayed on the device tile:
This will only be done by default when the end session card has been triggered.
You can also use the setting, to update on any price change:
Thank you for you information.
No, the Innr plus is always on. I have placed it in such a way that it cannot be switched off. I understand from this that I cannot use the flow, clear.
But which time trigger card should I take? I am already a bit lost there. The first 3 pictures are from Power Price, which I have added. The last picture is from the Innr plug itself. I do not understand it and only want to see a price, so that I can see how much it actually uses. I have a dynamic Zonneplan contract.
You need something like this to start/update/end the session and measure it’s usage. In your printscreen you will see that there is no active measuring session running.
However the Quooker is using very little power that it could be very well that the numbers are all below 0.00 kWh. And therefore there will be no outcome in pricing since it’s too low.
I haven’t placed a meter myself on the Quooker boiler because of that.
Hi,
I’ve installed my Homey yesterday to replace met domoticz setup. I’ve replaced every automation I had in Domoticz now but one: in Domoticz I have a script running that calculates the costs/earnings for my electricity in a dynamic contract.
It looks like you use a fixed tariff in this app or is there also a way to use dynamic tariffs?
Btw: I’m only interested in the overall costs, not so much the cost per user, so I’d only look at the Youless P1 energy meter.
Regards
Ron
Hi @reablom,
Welcome to our Homey community.
Regarding you question, did you read our very first post of this topic, this describes exactly your need. You can use the solar example also for your kWh meter.
Our app is developed with dynamic tariffs in mind, but we do also support single or high/low tariffs based on day & time
RTFM… my bad. I had a look at the first example, but apparently I wasn’t fully awake yet.
I’ll give it a try based on the solar example, thanks!
I’ve added a dedicated topic post to flow examples hope this helps even more 
Today I had a look into my own flow for my dryer, where I use a smart plug with energy meter to see the consumption. This device is also always on. But I do trigger this with the “power has changed card”. Then with the logic and card I check if its value is above a minimum Wattage (7) then trigger the Power Price action cards.
Here an example
Hope this helps for you.
I’m going to try your example and see if it works. My Quooker uses 2W of power all day and sometimes it indicates more. I think your example will work well. I’ll create it soon and then I’ll let you know, I didn’t have time this weekend.
I hope I can do what you wrote last “then trigger the Power Price action cards”, I’m not really into Homey Pro yet, so I’m still learning a lot.
I mean the Start/Stop action cards, like you have in you first example and my example above.
