Support Eva smart whole-household energy meter

You can create a virtual energy meter that shows the power usage from Eva, and have it appear in the Homey Energy tab :wink:

Just follow these steps:

  1. Install the app “Device Capabilities
  2. Add a new device and select “Devices Capabilities” then the Advanced Virtual Device (AVD).
  3. Choose “Create an empty AVD”.
  4. Give it a name and select an icon.
  5. Go to the virtual device’s settings:
    Settings > Maintenance > Repair
  6. Set the Device Class to: Sensor
  7. Create a new Number field.
  8. Give the field a name (this will be the label for your virtual energy meter).
  9. Under “Shown as”, select: Power (sensor)
  10. Under “Reflect”, choose: Devices
  11. Under “Device”, select your Eva energy meter
  12. Under “Property”, choose: Power (number)
  13. Make sure to check the box “Cumulative”

After that’s done go into the device settings and enable:

Tracks total home energy consumption > Yes

Your virtual meter will now appear in the Homey Energy tab and reflect real-time usage from the Eva meter :electric_plug::high_voltage:

Device settings (Device Capabilities) should look something like this:
