In Energy Device edit I see a combo list for types and there are two values: usage and return,
I suppose Usage is for meter usage (watt and kwh) , but whish is the meaning of Return type?
thanks

If the electronic energymeter is installed according to it's user manual, the normal definition is:
'Usage' = power/energy taken from the grid (to feed consuming devices)
'Return' = power/energy sent to the grid (e.g. from a PV-system as production-facility)
Both are expressed in W and kWh. The difference is the direction of flow.

Thanks, now it's clear, then
usage consumed,
return: generated
I'll change the names in my installation
