Regular counter vs managed counter

Hello,

can anybody explain the difference between "Counter" and "Managed Counter" ?

I found various resources that explain the difference between an incremental counter and a normal one, but I can find no distinction between adding "Counter" vs "Managed Counter".

thanks,
Claude

See this wiki page

Managed counter will not transfer automatically every day data from device status to history log, it's up to an external script or plugin to insert data in history log database (useful to show non realtime consumption of energy provider that put energy information "in the cloud").

Thank you for this info. I guess i'll have to move everything to regular counters then!
