Today, Homey Energy has been released out of beta, and it looks very good!
So far, I am really happy with the new features, but there is only a price option for energy taken from the grid, there is no option to set a price for energy delivered to the grid.
The total energy cost shown does not reflect the actual total price. Is there an option being developed for a future update to also set the price for energy delivered?
I’m happy dynamic prices will be added later on, since that’s the type of contract i use at the moment.
I totally agree with you. For now the price display is useless to me. My costs from the energy supplier do not match the costs shown in Homey at all. Hopefully this will be added later.
Just use the superior Power by the Hour app, and create an energy dashboard I’d say.

Sorry but telling to not use the Homey software they worked on for many months is not the right answer.
If they can improve a few little things it will be great software.

My setup:
- electricity and gas using Homewizard P1.
- water using Homewizard Water meter
- I have no solar panels nor a battery.
The devices Smart Meter and Water meter work find in the devices section.
I cannot seem to see however the same things as advertised.
- I only see Top consumers “kWh”
- I cannot see current usage (now) “W”
- For Gas it consistently says “no data”
- For Water it consistently says “no data”.
I’m on:
- Homey Pro (2023)
- v12.4.1
- App version v9.2.0.1709
Here’s a screenshot:
I already tried resetting all energy data (delete data) so ensure that I have a clean slate, but the result is the same.
For me, this way the Energy tab is useless.
Does anyone have the same challenge? Could you solve it → how?
Regarding your HomeWizard water meter: when you go to the device’s settings (cog wheel) and tap Advanced Settings, under Energy, is the toggle enabled saying that the device measures the total energy usage of your house?
The same applies to your P1 meter.

And, did you wait for the a new day? Some total values start to appear a day after adding afaik. But I could be wrong.
Hi @Peter_Kawa I had lots of data already from the beta period, but still the device did not show anything. After a reset, again, only the power consumption was updated. @SunBeech gave me the path forward for finding the answer. Now I have energy charts for Electricity, Gas as well as Water consumption.
