Noob Questions about energy monitoring and other Devices/Apps

[Busta999]

This is my third attempt with Homey - love the idea of it but just ran into show stoppers before, which are no longer an issue, I hope.

Last time it was that the App for the Secure central heating and boiler was buggy and the developer had been absent for a year and was not responding. Now moved Tado so that is not an issue.

I have about 30 Greenwave Wave sockets and about 15 Ajax Zignito Zigbee Plugs that I have been using to track energy usage around the house.

I have installed one of each into the Homey Pro.

The Greenwave only seems to be able to record current wattage not cumulative so can’t see daily usage of say a fridge or freezer. Is there some way in Homey to collect that data?

I am pretty sure I did not have this issue with the Greenwave before, so appears he App may have gone backward ?

The Ajax Zignito Zigbee Plugs will only join Homey as basic on off zigbee switches which is a real shame.

The MyEnergie App just not appear to connect with the MyEnergie service so that won’t work

Hoping the Victron App will work that will be awesome as I have a Victron system being installed in two weeks.

The Sonos, Hue, Bosch, Dyson, Harmony, Plex, Tado all worked like a dream

Yes there is!

This is only the case for single socket devices and for the first socket of the multy socket devices.

Support links are often present at the bottom of app store pages

That works better than frowning I guess

The Ajax Zignito Zigbee Plugs

There’s no app for Ajax.
But, good news, it’s a Tuya rebrand.

Install the Tuya zigbee app and re-pair a socket to see what happens.

Otherwise, you can request for adding support for them to the Tuya zigbee app:

[APP][Pro] Tuya Zigbee App

This app makes Homey support Tuya Zigbee devices! Tuya Zigbee devices are white label products and found with many brands, each brand will have a unique manufacturerName ID and this will have to be added to the app. Live version: Tuya Zigbee App for Homey | Homey Test version: Tuya Zigbee | Homey Thanks for all the interest in the app, I’m very thankfull for all the help and support! If you are unable to help maintain and develop the app and want to support me in any other way I’m happy for…

It is, I did, not much joy, but not an issue, loads to do before it becomes an issue.
