Virtual meter that is the sum of two other meters

[benbammens]

Is there a way to create a virtual energy meter that is the sum/subtraction of 2 or more other meters?

I now have a meter that logs the production of my solar panels , one that logs the exported electricity and one that logs the imported energy from the grid.

From this I could calculate my total consumption as: total = generated - exported + imported.

Seems easy enough, but I don't know if this is possible in Domoticz...

[niceandeasy]

I don't think Domoticz has a ready-made virtual meter that can add up the values of a list of other meters. However, you can do that with scripting.

[freijn]

This is the lua code I am using to do this virtual meter, however.....

Updates from my solare panel are much slower than from my P1 smart meter.
On a steady ( no clouds ) day it works great. On a cloudy day it could be the solar panels are still reporting "no power" and the house
is consuming a lot, while on my P1 updates I do see a different indication. So this can only be used as a guideline but gives you a good
indication during the day.

Cheers,

Frank

Hello, tried to figure out the code you provided :/

I have a meter for the main house, and another meter for a small apartement on the back (that is connected to the main house)
So i would like to subtract the apartment meter from the main house meter, so the resulte gives me what i im actualy using in the main house.
But by looking at the code above i have no ideia how to do this :/

[l0gic]

Hi,
I've also done something similar.
I've a number of power clamps monitoring power into my main consumer unit, outside consumer unit plus I have a feed from my SunnyBoy solar.
I use these to indicate via a dummy power devices the instantaneous usage (Kw) and historical (Kwh).
The devices indicate the total house load (House + Outside) as well as the incoming demand (Total - Solar).

My script also writes out to a csv file, not necessary for the script though.
As it stands the script writes out to the log a lot, change it by setting the printdata / printdebug values to false.

Code: Select all

-- demo time script

Be careful with the type of dummy device you create, you need the Type = Usage and Energy Read = From Device

[gajotnt]

Did some tweaking, in the sense i removed all of the CVS log stuff.
But have there some douts.

-- Total power
update("House Power Incoming", 475, CurrentPowerBalance, CurrentEnergyBalance, 1) -- 475 is the ID of the dummy incoming device
-- Load of the House
update("House Load", 518, HousePower, HouseEnergy, 2) -- 518 is the ID of dummy house consumption device

What does the 1 (in total power) and 2 (in House), mean?

Also im doing some troubleshooting because arround the time i started using this, the TOTAL meter stopped updating the "Energy Usage" graph, but i think its because of the firmware of the metering device and not the script, since i guess it only reads the value does the calculations and writes it to another virtual meter, but still can you take a look?

Total: is the meter that gets information from the whole house
Apartamento: is the meter that gets information from a apartment
Casa: the result of the subtration of the apartment from the Total value

This is the code im using:

Code: Select all

-- demo time script

-- Get current date & time
t1 = os.time()
local currentDate = os.date("*t");  -- sets up currentDate.[table] 
-- (currentDate.year [full], .month [1-12], .day [1-31], .hour [0-23], .min [0-59], .sec [0-59], .wday [0-6 {Sun-Sat}])
sCurrentTime = currentDate.year .. "-" .. currentDate.month .. "-" .. currentDate.day .. " " .. currentDate.hour .. ":" .. currentDate.min .. ":" .. currentDate.sec

function update(device, id, power, energy, index)

end 

commandArray = {}

TotalPowerUsage, TotalEnergyUsage = otherdevices_svalues["Total"]:match("([^;]+);([^;]+)")

ApartamentoPowerUsage, ApartamentoEnergyUsage = otherdevices_svalues["Apartamento"]:match("([^;]+);([^;]+)")

CurrentPowerBalance = TotalPowerUsage - ApartamentoPowerUsage
CurrentEnergyBalance = TotalEnergyUsage - ApartamentoEnergyUsage

update("Casa", 50, CurrentPowerBalance, CurrentEnergyBalance, 2) -- 50 is the ID of the dummy incoming device


return commandArray

[l0gic]

Hi,
The 1 and 2 refer to the commandArray[x] values.
If you only update one value when running the script then this value can be 1.
If you chose to update 2 or more values then they all need their own commandArray[x] value. Otherwise only the last commandArray value will be updated.

Your script looks fine to me, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
Try putting some print commands in so you can see in the logs if the expected values are in there.

Thanks
After some testing it was the FW of the sonoff that was sending the KWhToday instead of the KWhTotal, everything is working now
Thanks

I wanted to do the same, and using this thread and some other links I managed to get it to work as well.

to sum energy and power from 3 meters (kWh Meter L1, kWh Meter L2 and kWh Meter L3), because my device for the whole powerconsumtion (kWh Meter Gesamt) shows only the sum of absolute Power [W].
But for this issue I have already opened a thread, https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 24&t=26760 >>> no answer so far.

The script works, but the energy shows the whole energy consumption instead of energyconsumtion of the day.

Hello Gertschi,

I used your script to add 3 different solar panel installations, it works fine.
Only the same problem with the total P instead of the day P

Would you like to post the script in which you solved it?
I don't have the programming knowledge to get this solved.

thank you.

to sum energy and power from 3 meters (kWh Meter L1, kWh Meter L2 and kWh Meter L3), because my device for the whole powerconsumtion (kWh Meter Gesamt) shows only the sum of absolute Power [W].
But for this issue I have already opened a thread, https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 24&t=26760 >>> no answer so far.

The script works, but the energy shows the whole energy consumption instead of energyconsumtion of the day.

What could I do, to get the daily energy consumption?

i have tried your script but i get these errors in the log:

I also have something similar to this, but as DzVents script

Code: Select all

return {

	on = {
	    timer = { 'every 5 minutes' }
	},
	
	execute = function(domoticz, item)
	    
	    local bhPower = domoticz.devices(3)      -- big house power meter
	    local fhPower = domoticz.devices(53)     -- forest house power meter
	    local totalPower = domoticz.devices(54)  -- total (big + forest houses) power meter
	    
	    totalPower.updateElectricity(
            	bhPower.WhActual + fhPower.WhActual,
            	bhPower.WhTotal + fhPower.WhTotal
            )
	    
	end
	
}

i cant get this script to work, i have replaced the (3), (53) and (54) with my own idx for my sensors, but i dont think that the script is running.

Did you enable dzvents in settings?
