Well, you can adjust the update interval, and I have set mine to 5 seconds.
Then I think that the difference shouldn’t be as much as you are experiencing.
@Guus_Dupon One thing you want to know: The bulk users will not show up until they have drawn power / energy for the fist time.
I have the AMSreader working via MQTT (as per this guide Homey configuration | amsleser.no Wiki) with all reading from my power meter but it does not show up as an entry under my energy tab. Any way do get this working?
This is the topic for my import:

And this is for my Export (solarpanels):

},
"meter_power.hour": {
"capability": "meter_power",
"stateTopic": "ams/realtime/export/hour",
"setTopic": "",
"valueTemplate": "",
"outputTemplate": "",

},
"meter_power.day": {

"stateTopic": "ams/realtime/export/day",
"setTopic": "",
"valueTemplate": "",
"outputTemplate": "",
"displayName": "Energy this day"
}
}
I wouldn’t think so, no. Any difference at all, pretty much makes the function useless. If I can’t trust the number it has no value.
They all have used energy multiple times for hours on end.
I have no idea any more.
Now no bulk users are showing. I can add bulk users now but then I need to install them again only for Homey to say they are all ready installed.
@Guus_Dupon If your devices (e.g. INNR) are not showing up in the Bulk users but do show correct data in their respective devices (e.g Power / Energy) you could install PBTH (if you don’t have it yet) and set each of your energy devices to a PBTH device as input. Then set those PBTH devices to “Exluded from Energy” : “No” and your physical devices to “Yes”. I’ve done this and it has a lot of advantages because you can click on the PBTH device in your bulk user list and see all the yearly / montly / daily energy & power in a glance.
Another advantage is that you can change your input device (change from Zigbee to a Z-WAVE or Matter device) and keep all the existing data, so if the device is monitoring a boiler, you will keep the data for that boiler, even after changing the physical device.
It think this should even be standard part of the Energy app.
See mine hereunder, no physical devices, only PBTH devices.
Moved 10 posts to the app specific topic: [APP][Pro] Power by the Hour: Insights per hour, day, month and year
I alse experience the same with my Tibber Pulse.
Perhaps you can use the energy (kWh) counter instead of the live power value?
@Matteo_Foroni Did you remove them from Energy? In the Device settings set “Exclude from Energy” to “Yes” and “Tracks total home energy consumption” to “No” except for your P1 meter or other total consumption meter.
EDIT: Sorry, do the last option first.
My Zaptec Go does not show. Not excluded
How should the energy device settings for an EV charger device (virtual one) be set?
- cumulative:true?
- class: evcharger?
With cumulative:true, the animation is showing energy flow to the charger. But the charger device itself is not displayed with its measure_power capability. Is this something that will be added (like battery)?
Is a meter_power needed to show the device?
@Doekse Do you have some details about it? Thanks.
This can only happen if the device first reported 0kWh and later reported 14630kWh. Is this a regular device or a “virtual” device imported from something like HA?
Do these devices have a meter_power capability that increases continuously? You can check this in the developer tools > devices.
This is not final yet, will come later. But definitely not cumulative, please check the docs, they should inform you that cumulative is only for whole home energy meters.
They have a meter_power capability. The number behind it is not changing. How ever. In the homey app they do according to the power that is used.
Is this what you mean?
Correction. The numbers do change. It only takes some time
It’s virtual device from HA community app.
After adding, the capability is initial (null), then a value is set from the HA entity. Perhaps null is interpreted as 0 in this case?
Thanks, I will test later when it’s ready.
Just fyi: the animation (line to EV charger) appered after set the device as cumulative. Without cumulative flag no animation is shown. But perhaps that’s already changed in dev version.
No null is discarded, so that shouldn’t be the case.
