Hi,  
I am trying to set a virtual power meter (kWh). When I use “measure\_energy,” no value is collected by the flow. I manage to collect power (W) with “measure\_power”. Do anyone knows what attribute works with setting power consumption?

Thanks Johan

Use meter\_power  
Unfortunately Athom struggle with the terminology when it comes to power and energy.
