Request for new TypeNames

[jeroenst]

I would like to have typenames "Watt" and "Frequency" as they are part of smartmeters and solar inverters.

For now I will use typename "Custom" instead, giving me the wrong precision and wrong icon.

@jeroenst,

TypeNames are just short cut for existing functionality.

If you want them added then you will need to supply the Type and SubType combination that will work.

EDIT: For Watts I believe you can use the TypeName "Usage"

This is a little odd, because with a solar inverter the watts are not used but provided..

Is there a list of available types and subtypes? I couldn't find them till now...

@jeroenst,

The list of types and subtypes is in hardwaretypes.h, you will need to find that on github.

The plugin framework uses the follwing:

Code: Select all

					else if (sTypeName == "Usage")
					{
						self->Type = pTypeUsage;
						self->SubType = sTypeElectric;
					}

for Watts bases devices
