power meter with two values

Post by jaha »

Hi I'm trying to turn of a wall plug if the watt is less than 15watt. the problem is that it shows the current watt and the kwh (in current state) 0.000;200.000 so just trying to set <15 in blocky won't work for me.

Help appreciated.

Hi jaha,

Not sure what type of wall plug you have, but my Fibaro wall plug (Z-Wave unit) shows all the "devices" listed in the picture below.

I have a setup where that wall plug is automatically shut off whenever I lock my front door with an auxiliary lock, which my alarm system monitors via a built-in hard wired micro switch. And the plug is then automatically turned on again as soon as I unlock the front door.
(I got tired of often turning back home when being half-way to work, just to check if I really turned the coffee maker off...)

As for displaying the power consumption, I am currently only using the "meter device" shown in a green frame below, as that display object contains the combined values (current power + total consumption). But as seen in red below, there is one more "Watt only" value also available for the plug. So if I'd want to monitor and act upon the current power consumption only, I would target that value in my scripts instead.

But again; I'm not sure what type of plug you have...

yes im using the fibaro wall plug, I added the watt device that you pointed on.

But I can't get it working. I want it turn of after 1 minut if power watt usage is under 5.
Tried to flip the > but dident helt it turns of every time after 60 seconds.
See picture :)
