Re: Costs calculated always using T1/R1

Similar issue today morning. There's a discrepancy of extra £0.63. Meanwhile yesterday gap narrowed down from £0.8 in the morning to -£0.02 at the end of day. It seems too large to be considered rounding errors.

Re: Costs calculated always using T1/R1

Ok, I'll keep monitoring what happens in the following days, and see if the situation improves. Regarding dynamic pricing, indeed I could use it to obtain costing for T1 and T2, but I think that I should keep using my dzvents script to separate the energy in 1 vs 2 anyway so that: R1 and R2 are also ...

Re: Costs calculated always using T1/R1

If you check the report page of this device the issue should be more clear as it shows T1/T2 usage and costs per day. Ahh, I was not aware that a daily display could be also reported: thanks! It's strange...by looking at the table below the costs for Monday should be 0.05+0.42-0.01=0.46, but the ...

Costs calculated always using T1/R1

I have a dummy P1 smart mater device to monitor the energy that comes from/to the grid, which is updated using data from my solax inverter via a plugin. Since I am using a high/low tariff, and the plugin was incorrectly sending all of the data to T1/R1 I have created a dzvents script to update the ...

Re: Where/how are tariffs defined

If the Solar device is also monitoring your grid connection it should be the plugin that should have configuration attributes for changing T1/T2 times. So dont blaim core Domoticz for that... :-) Also normal counters are not able to differentiate in T1/T2 tariffs. T1/T2 tariffs are probably going ...

Re: Where/how are tariffs defined

For a P1 meter the time for tarif change is defined by the energy supplier. So you do not have to do anything in Domoticz. When T1/T2 change is there T2 data is sent by the smart meter. instead of T1 data. You see, that's again a difference between how you and I are interpreting a P1 smart meter ...

Re: Where/how are tariffs defined

@waltervl Have seen it and sorry to say this but I still think that for the noninitiated it is extremely unclear. There's not even a web link to the P1 smart meter device so that one can become familiar with its internal structure that separates tariff1 vs 2. It might be helpful to explain what was ...

Re: Where/how are tariffs defined

The most ridiculous thing is that none of this is documented in domoticz wiki!

This is useful but does not solve the hassle of having to add the devices one by one. +1 on this request. Thanks.

Re: dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

Thanks for the suggestion and all your help. I've tested it just now, and unfortunately it doesn't work.

Guess it has to be done with lua, which is a bit disappointing, but oh well.

Re: dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

That could well be. But if the description does not change, what is the problem? Note that I'm not overly familiar with the inner functioning of the plugin but, I know that some of its parameters need to be configured by editing the description of the devices and then saving them (example in figure ...

Re: dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

So what is the description of you update the power values with dzvents? Everything indicates that updateEnergy is updating the description of the device although it does not actually changes its contents: the creator of the plugin confirms that 1) this is what is happening based on the log that is ...

waltervl wrote: Monday 29 July 2024 15:38 Yes indeed, updateElectricity(power, energy) should work and not change the description.
What is the description being modified in? Is it being emptied or changed into something else?
According to the above log and what I see in the actual device is "ID=1.c,CUSTOM,TypeName=kWh"

Re: dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

What kind of device is it? See menu Setup - Devices Then check what the appropriate update command is in dzvents wiki. Also it seems that neither Set commands should change the description too. So something is strange here. I agree that it is strange. The device is shown in the figure, general kWh ...

Re: dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

Better ask the plugin author why the plugin updates the description also.... So the plugin does something strange and the you have to modify the dvents normal way? But just using dzvents updateEnergy() function should also work. That is what I've tried before the setValues function: using the ...

dzVents, update svalue only and do not update the device description

I'm trying to use the dombusEVSE to charge my electric vehicle in solar mode. The mode requires that a grid power device svalue is updated to keep track of how much power can be used to charge the EV, and I am using a dzvents script to feed this value to the device. The main problem is that as I ...
