Hi,

I want to create flows based of the energy I produce (for instance: if temperature outside is +24°C and I put solarpower on the grid for X amount of time, then activate ‘cooling’)

I have a Homey energy dongle, I see information in the energytab,  
BUT i don’t have things to work with from the P1-meter when making flows.  
(only under ‘and’ I see ‘Energy’, but I only find things about electricityprices)

What do I do wrong?

(+has anybody examples off flows doing those kind of things?)

I’m Dutch speaking, so maybe I didn’t use the right words… plz forgive me!

Hi, I have the same problem and can’t find the energy dongle in the menus, but I can find it if I use the search box, so that works for me!
