# How is it possible that Energy reports 65kWh power consumed in a day by a \<10W light switched on twice for a few minutes? **URL:** \ **Category:** Energy\ **Tags:** app, energy\ **Created:** [February 25, 2025, 8:50am UTC](https://community.homey.app/t/how-is-it-possible-that-energy-reports-65kwh-power-consumed-in-a-day-by-a-10w-light-switched-on-twice-for-a-few-minutes/131552 "2025-02-25T08:50:58Z")\ **Posts on this page:** 1\ **Showing post:** 9

@K_S, there are already several posts in the [Homey Energy — Public Beta Megathread](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-energy-public-beta-megathread/123457) topic, with problems similar to yours, like mine: > [@Homey Energy — Public Beta Megathread](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-energy-public-beta-megathread/123457/369): > > It’s hard to say that @Kringloper’s issue is the same like yours, because he didn’t showed the Insights of the energy consumption. But I recognized the same issue like you also with Z-Wave devices some days ago: (Fibaro Double Switch FGS-223, Firmware v3.3, Homey Fibaro App v3.8.0) (Aeotec Smart Switch 7 ZW175, Firmware v1.3, Homey Aeotec App v.3.14.3) Homey Pro (early 2023), Firmware v12.3.0-rc.10. @Harwin, @Doekse, @bouke, @Robin, I don’… Instead of an upward peak, I had downward peaks (pls. have a look at the screenshots in my linked post). According to @Robin, an Athom employee, it is supposedly the device that is giving incorrect values and there is nothing Athom can do about it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/3/534d2f1218b0b47f88274f585479ac7813427118.png) As you can see in the linked post I also had this problem with Z-Wave devices, a Fibaro Double Switch (FGS-223) and an Aeotec Smart Switch 7 (ZW175). In the Energy Topic, other users also have such problems with Zigbee devices. That’s why I’m not sure that the issue is really caused by the device. To be honest, I don’t have a solution for this problem either and I don’t think that resetting the consumption is a permanent solution. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/how-is-it-possible-that-energy-reports-65kwh-power-consumed-in-a-day-by-a-10w-light-switched-on-twice-for-a-few-minutes/131552)._
