To get a device for these values, you have to create a so-called **AVD** ( **A** dvanced **V** irtual **D** evice) with the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/en-de/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/test/) app.  
Please use this link to install the app, because it’s the lastest test version of the app, already published on December 7, 2023. You can believe me that this version is stable.

As the creation of an **AVD** can be somewhat complicated, I recommend that you first read the relevant app topics and ask questions there if you have any problems:  
[[APP][Pro] Device Capabilities - Enhance the capabilities of devices](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-enhance-the-capabilities-of-devices/43287)  
[[APP][Pro] Advanced Virtual Device (Device Capabilities App) with Unique Text Status Indicator](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198)

If you want to display insights (graphs) in the dashboard, you need to check the option “Create Insights” in the device settings of the AVD.

For an hourly, daily, monthly and annual analysis of the consumption, I recommend the [Power by the Hour](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.powerhour) app.  
And this is the corresponding app topic:  
[[APP][Pro] Power by the Hour: Insights per hour, day, month and year](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-power-by-the-hour-insights-per-hour-day-month-and-year/20535)
