I have the possibility to get data directly from my Kamstrup Power Metering.  
But if I add it to Homey, the energy tab will just show it as a unit along side everything under it.

Meaning that if I use 1500W on all my units, it will also show 1500W for the Kamstrup Power Meter.  
So now total is showing as 3000W.

I would love if I could point out that Kamstrup was a parent/house, and if Kamstrup is 1650W and Homey knows 1200W on the active devices, it would be able to show an unknown group on the missing 450W

Or if I have 3 shelly plug s, one in the outlet and then having a socketline afterward where i have the 2 others in. that i could mark the outlet shelly as parent to the 2 others.

I have exactly the same question related to the Shelly Pro line of energy meters. Any updates?

No update yet. ☹  
I have changed my app for meter to only show the unknown watts, by checking all other devices energy and substract them from Kamstrups total.

Hi Nygren

I made one myself with an esp8266.

But i will suggest to look at [Pow-K+ (Kamstrup)](https://amsleser.no/hjem/1-pow-k-kamstrup.html) for a more ready to use product.

//EDIT: Check up with you energy distributor before buying anything, not all have an updated Kamstrup. If they use encryption aswell you need them to provide 1 to 2 descryptionkeys, I needed 2 myself.  
And I payed 230 danish kroner for having a technician coming out and update my house meter.

Just keeping the topic alive. As Googus said already, Homey really should have a functionality where one energy meter can be configured as being included in another energy meter.

Seems they have included this in the new energy tracking functionality! Great :).
