</div>

for integration of our heatpump I have an app working in developer mode on our homey. Only known issue left is to arrange homey recogined it as power user so it counts its use of energy.  
I’am using a capability meter\_power that contains the daily use of power. I also have two different capabilities measure\_power that counts energy use for heating and the other for heating water.  
All of them are available as insight.  
How can I arrange meter\_power will be recognized by homey? or do I use the wrong capability types?

I assume you have read already:

> **[Energy | Homey Apps SDK](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/energy)**
>
> By defining the energy usage (or generation) of the devices your app supports users can generate detailed reports of their energy consumption.

It describes quite well the the Energy functionality.

Based on that you should probably have _meter\_power.daily_ to keep track of the daily usage and then store the cumulative energy usage to _meter\_power_, and that should never reset.

Yes I have red that.  
I think i exactly do this.  
I can imagine that because I have also 2 different values with capability measure \_power cause it is not tecognized yet. But can not find how to deal with multiple power values like I have.

Total powerconsumption / day  
Power consumption for heating / day  
Power consumption for heating water / day.

</div>

Homey Energy dashboard is only reading meter\_power (main capability, not subcapability).  
Only exception is the imported/exported power that can be a subcapability, defined in device energy settings.

are there capability options I have to set/change? When I check insights I see every day increase of power. It look good to me.  
could it be that power is not registrated from app’s that are installed locally?

below the capability settings I’am using :

```auto

Can you please show the code of your driver.compose.json?  
How are the capabilities added to the device (which id)?

That’s what @OH2TH said. You should add one capability as meter\_power and measure\_power representing the overeall usage as main capability (not subcapability).

I’am not sure of I understand well. Do you mean I have to use measure\_power als total and meter\_power als subtotals? exchange both types? something like:

meter\_power.inputregister.11. | daily use for heating water  
meter\_power.inputregister.12. | daily use for heating  
measure\_power.inputregister.13 | total daily use

You don’t have an overall meter value (without reset)?

Something like this would be used:

```auto
meter_power.heating_water_daily
meter_power.heating_daily
meter_power          
measure_power 

```

meter\_power should be an overall meter like a power meter. It should not be cleared, but increasing over the whole time.

measure\_power is the current usage (W). It’s not a daily sum/meter.  
If measure\_power.inputregister.13 is a sum of the first meter capabilities, then use meter\_power.daily,not measure\_power

really thanks for your help

I indeed have not an register within the total daily use. inputregister 13 is the sum of 11 and 12.  
i have changed measure\_power.inputregister.13 into meter\_power.dailyuse  
Installed it and also re-installled the device in homey. now i gues i have to wait…

It is not an issue i have mulitple meter\_power values?  
I indeed have not an register with the current use of power so i skip measure\_power.  
I let you know or it works…

thanks,  
Henk

Without a meter\_power capability it won’t show up as consumer in new energy dashboard.  
And you better should not use a daily/weekly meter for this.

 ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/c/dcaa668714db9066e29ca279ff0f106e9566b7a0.png)

You could add a calculyted meter\_power capability and your app can calculate the value liek this:

IF meter daily (register) changed  
IF meter daily \> last capability value of meter\_power(increaded during the day)  
THEN  
meter\_power += current value - old meter\_power value  
ELSE (new value \< old value, that means it was reset during night)  
meter\_power += current value

This way you could build your own increasing overall meter.  
In an app where I did it similar, I added a flow action so set the initial meter value. Don’t know if this is needed.

Another workaround (for users) would be to test if PowerByTheHour app is able to sum up such a daily meter into a overall meter.

Hi Ronny,  
I have meter\_power capabilities, that increase all the time.

First capability value is used power to heat water.  
second capability is used power to heat our home.

To see also total amount I also use a thirth one within de sum of both.

total use today is around 932KWH since first installation. last weeks i saw increase of around 20kwh a day. (for example 14kwh used for heating and 6 for heating water ). So I expect to see an increase tomorrow that result into around 952KwH as total use.

I only have not a current value that shows the live actual use at the moment. If I understood well all you described meter\_power should be enough? I only had doubt or it could be an issue that I have 3 different values for that ( 2 sub values and 1 total value )

No issues 🙂  
If you use meter\_power for your main meter, then it should appear in ener gasboard (in device list as consumer).  
The other meters (subcapability meter-power.xxxx) are ignored in energy view.

Hi Ronny,  
Do you mean that i have to use meter\_power as name for the daily Total ? Without any extension as inputregister.14 like i do now?  
Homey only use the main capability without name extension?

Yes, only “power\_meter” as id. So suffix (subcapability).  
Based on your last post, the register has a real total meter value. So it’s not daily used, but total used instead. That would be right for the meter\_power capability.

one additional hint… I think that’s the reason why we talked past each other.

You said, your meter is a daily consumption meter.  
That would mean, the meter counts up over the day and at midnigts it’s reset to 0.

But based on your example data, it’s not a daily meter, but an overall meter instead, updated once a day.  
So better don’t use meter\_power.heating\_daily for it. Everyone will think it’s reset one a day. Name it only meter\_power.heating  
And the overall meter is named meter\_power.
