Hi,
I do have a solar panel app (i.e. a SolarEdge inverter) and a created a sensor device that does track the household consumption. So this sensor device is configured like
"class": "sensor",
"capabilities": [
"measure_power",
"meter_power.imported",
"meter_power.exported"
],
"capabilitiesOptions": {
"meter_power.imported": {
"title": {
"en": "Imported Energy"
}
},
"meter_power.exported": {
"title": {
"en": "Exported Energy"
}
}
},
"energy": {
"cumulative": true,
"cumulativeImportedCapability": "meter_power.imported",
"cumulativeExportedCapability": "meter_power.exported"
},
in “measure_power” the total current household conumption is set… e.g. 500 watts.
In the device’s “energy” view (not the energy tab) this device is listed as a smart meter. Additionally I can see my solar panel (i.e. the inverter).
When the solar panel does not produce energy, everything is fine. I.e. the “circle” displays the current household consumption, substracts the e.g. smart plugs consumptions and everything else is denoted as “other”.
However, if the solar panel is producing (e.g. 2000 watts) the circle’s consumption value shown is adding the solar panels production to the household consumption, so e.g. 2000 + 500 watts = 2500 watts.
Somehow I wouldn’t say this is the expected result, the solar panel should not have its production added to the household consumption.
Now I’m not sure, if this is the way Homey presents that details, I’ve done something wrong with miy own app device’s config or it is expected.
BTW: If I exclude the Solarpanel inverter for the energy metrics, the circle would propertly show just the current household consumption, substract other meters and shows everything else as other. However this is no solution, because if I do that, I would also remove the solar panel from the “energy tab” which should show the solar production.
Is that a bug either in the custom driver or in Homey?
Cheers, Michael
