Electicity: power and energy [Solved]

[LucBFR]

Hello,

I have an electricity device (OWL) connected on a RFXtrx 433. In Domoticz, this device return the actual power in W and energy in kWh.

I would like to use this 2 data with Dzvents. The properties of "electricity" devices are :

• counterToday: Number.

• usage: Number.

• WhToday: Number. Total Wh usage of the day. Note the unit is Wh and not kWh!

• WhTotal: Number. Total Wh usage.

• WhActual: Number. Actual reading.

What I see when I print this method is that for

• "usage" and "WhActual" are a value for power (in W).

• "WhToday" and "WhTotal" are the energy (in Wh).

So for me, the method "usage" and "WhActual" are confusing. The label should be "powerinW" or something like that.

Could it be possible to clarify this notion for this device ?
Of course, the previous label should remain available for compatibility.

If I understand you correctly you would like to see that the value you now see in WhActual and usage, becomes available in a new
'actualWatt' attribute ?

Exactly. It would be good !.

Exactly. It would be good !.

Implemented in dzVents 2.5.2 (domoticz >= V4.11540)
