Hi, can anyone advise on the possibility of using a virtual energy meter for display in the Energy tab? I have a Huawei SUN2000 integrated into Homey. Everything runs, but the connection to Homey doesn’t pull the data that is measured through the Modbus energy meter. However, this data can be ret…

Make an Advanced Virtual Device with Power (kW) and Energy (kWh).

I tried, but it wont show in energy panel. Did you have that working? In this scenario, I am only not sure how to do the kwh value correctly, as the huawei data are kW, but I remember I tried simply to set a value to kwh, and it did not show anyways.

I do not have it working. But I remember that when the Energy tab was introduced, my Youless device did not show up in the Energy tab because the device capabilities were not correct and I had to waite for an update of the Youless app. So it is important to the the right capabilities. When you have…

aha, this took the right direction :slight_smile: After adding the device, a consumption card appeared in the energy panel, so that’s the right way :smiley: But it says “no data available.” Also at the top, where the current consumption in “W” should be displayed, there is just a “-”. When I click…

The Energy tab updates every 5 minutes. I just followed the instructions in the link and it worked! It showed up beside the “elektriciteit- en gasmeter” immediately. in the graph below 5 minutes later. [image]

[image] Milos: What I did notice, though, is that even the VD itself doesn’t have a consumption graph inside it—it’s unavailable. You have to click the “create tag” and “create insights” buttons.

aha, it works now, I didn’t have the “Real Field” box checked. Thank you very much for your help and your time! If I may ask one more thing: via Modbus I’m reading the “active power” value from Huawei. It uses these values: >0: feeding power to the grid <0: obtaining power from the grid So whe…

Values may be negative. However SUN2000 is a solar panel inverter? not measuring the total energy usage of your house. So the class should be solarpanel and not sensor.

There is smart meter connected to it. The meter is DTSU666-H . But Huawei Sun2000 wont integrate into homey with data from the meter, it only integrate the production data. However, the meter can be accessed by Modbus, and that is how I pull the data. The DSTU-666 is simply connected on the 3 phas…
