Hello,  
When I got my Homey bridge and added Philips Hue, I could see the power consumption basically in real time. But now it has suddenly stopped working. The only thing that shows the current consumption is the Homey Bridge itself. Anyone know the solution or why this happened?  
Greetings

Hi @LundinGBG  
I am curious how you meassure power with Philips Hue products?  
Philips Hue light bulbs and smart plugs do not measure power. But you can estimate the power that is used. The maximum energy (e.g 6 Watts at 100%) can be set in the settings of an individual light bulb. See screenshot below.

In the screenshot below the energy is estimated as 2.1 Watts because I have set the light at 33%

Yes, this is how it was from the beginning when I installed Hue.  
But now it has suddenly disappeared.
