It was just a tip, from my site. Show the kwh from a year, the you will see it. ---

Tips are always appreciated! If i look at the weekchart the amount used kWh is way of. But i also can’t find a place/insight where the numbers of the energy widget are replicated within the device. ![1000007255](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7d45ecebb14cad80d06da14c3d0e1bf647d88f6.jpeg) ---

It’s something else in your case, because the 30 kWh seems to be right. In my case the kWh values where n.o.k. Are there strange values in the house kWh? ---

@Waldo I managed to open the garage door by setting the wall plug between my e-bike charger to the “ev-charger” type. @Doekse can you make an option so we can choose the “ev” type ourselves? e.g. bicycle, scooter motorcycle or car (so the image changes). An EV vehicle is not by definition a “car” 😉 Thanks. ---

I’ve seen the same on iOS, it somehow seems to be cached, pressing the symbol next to it (e.g. flows) and come back to “Energy” sets it automatically on “Today”. Also, I’ve mentioned that earlier, the graphical animation on the house (flows) stop after a while. Doing the same as described above restarts the graphical flows. I don’t think it’s intended to be this way. ---

Maybe it’s a problem because they are generic Zigbee devices. But generally they should show the right amount of consumption, because power measurement capabilities for unknown/generic Zigbee devices are added with Homey Firmware v10.1.0. Or does _ **power measurement capabilities** _ only means `measure_power` (W) and not `meter_power` (kWh)? Does anyone know that? ---

Hey guys, I have a Tuya Smart Plug (wifi), which does power metering. The power measurements show correctly in the UI of Homey, however they don’t appear in the Energy tab at all. ![Screenshot_2024-12-29-15-53-30-05_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4 (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/1/614f8b7fdff4c5e1ef06d57c74cd7b186be076a7.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2024-12-29-15-53-50-99_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/1/b171f4822639ddb7455ede4abb82129d4f7b67b7.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2024-12-29-15-54-07-34_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/5/d5501f6dc7df68de36bb050e331e5106d47511d5.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/8/c83c63f62c26d0b5366ba4849a9160d61cbc5893.png) Any idea what I am missing?

else it is a homey issue. got same cheap tuya devices and from HA you can see the attribute is there. With ha comm app back to homey , I also see it on the energy tab. ![Screenshot 2024-12-30 at 12.48.05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/88cf3c498163748d6b5e94ca09cfca53f5945504.png) ![Screenshot 2024-12-30 at 12.48.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/4/f4d0b11c0f0fa527377e07395224d468508d1f80.png) ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > Or does _ **power measurement capabilities** _ only means `measure_power` (W) and not `meter_power` (kWh)? Does anyone know that? `measure_power` = power measurement in Watts `meter_power` = energy measurement in kiloWatt hours (`meter_power` isn’t anything, it should be `meter_energy`. Obviously there’s was/is no elektrician hired @ Athom’s) As far as I know a device must have the `meter_power` (kWh) capability to be able to set the “cumulative energy measuring” toggle. ---

Okay, so these generic Zigbee SmartPlugs must also be able to measure the consumption (kWh), otherwise they wouldn’t be listed in the energy dashboard, right? But why do these generic Zigbee SmartPlugs show incorrect consumption values (kWh)? Is it a bug in Homeys Firmware? ---

The old Homey energy view was showing only current power. A device with measure\_power was shown. But you couldn’t see the daily usage (no meter available). So it’s Watt based only. The new energy dashboard is using the power meter to show daily consumption. It’s kWh based. You need a dehice with meter\_power. You device has only measure\_power and won’t show up in energy dashboard. For generic ZigBee devices it depends on the device itself which capabilities are supported. I have some Innr plugs that have meter\_power, but also some Osram without. ---

Aha that explains. How does that work with gas? I don’t see any thing related to gas, I don’t have a smart meter, but I Do have one device which has meter\_gas defined. Should that show up? ---

> [@KennyMoens](#): > > I Do have one device which has meter\_gas defined. Should that show up? The device must be set as “cumulative” energy device. If it’s a virtual device, the app must support this. For HomeAssistant app I added the device setting to change the energy settings. If you are using the AVD app, then it’s currently not possible [[APP][Pro] Advanced Virtual Device (Device Capabilities App) with Unique Text Status Indicator - #668 by RonnyW](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198/668) ---

> [@RonnyW](#): > > You device has only measure\_power and won’t show up in energy dashboard All my energy measuring enabled devices (Tuya zigbee, Shelly) happen to have a meter\_power capability next to measure\_power. But as I understand now, devices seem to exist without meter\_power measurements ? Or is it just not (yet) added to the app by the dev? ---

yes , meter\_power capability next to measure\_power. my tuya of different brands all have meter\_power. so I guess it is there on the device but homey (generic) zigbee device does not show/expose them. don’t know if this is a generic homey zigbee issue or an app issue. I switched to HA for zigbee. ---

As I said, I have devices with and without meter\_power. Both added as generic ZigBee device. That’s why I think not all devices are providing meter data via ZigBee. ---
