[McMelloW]

I made a change in the script, in line 150, 158, 167
if you plan to update domoticz immediately, you can do it before or after,
I have last beta update of Domoticz

Thanks a lot It works OK now.

These 2 lines (179-180) in the source code

            dz.log('daysCounterMonth: '  .. daysCounterMonth, dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            dz.log('daysCounterYear: '  .. daysCounterYear, dz.LOG_DEBUG)

Showing these results in the domoticz log

2024-06-21 19:39:00.579  Status: dzVents: Debug: ElecConsCost: daysCounterYear: 168

Today it is day 173 of 2024 and day 21 of June so I miss 5 days of the year and of the month. The date on my Raspberry Pi is the actual date & time. It is also synchronized with ntp

Does somebody has an explanation for this difference.

It seems to count the number of entries in the database. So probably Domoticz did not register your energy every day.
Do you see gaps in the graphs of your original energy devices?

Yes there are gaps in these devices. I had to go back 5 days after an updatebeta. This causes the gaps in the database.
The energy data consumed and delivered is registered by my energy provider as I can see.

I had the impression the days and month were just counted by de calendar. But it is not.

Hi, I am using this script to display daily and cumulative electricty cost in my dashticz dashboard. Recently I have moved to latest beta and new hardware, and now the script is not working any more. I have changed v into v1, bit that does not seem to help.
The log error:

Code: Select all

2025-10-04 09:52:00.247 Error: Error opening url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=graph&sensor=counter&range=year&idx=249
2025-10-04 09:52:00.319 Error: dzVents: ElectricityConsumptionAndCost: HTTP/1.1 response: 404 ==>> Not Found 

249 is the P1_DSMR.

Also I do not know how I can use the calculated cost from the energy dashboard. For the script I created several dummy devices for the output, so i can use the data where I want.

Your script makes use of a Domoticz API call and those have been changed. See this wiki page how to fix this https://wiki.domoticz.com/Domoticz_API/ ... and_newer)

Thanks Walter, I will go from there!
