Python Plugin / Managed Counter device

[breizhcat]

Hello!

I'm trying to implement my own plugin. To achieve my needs, I would like to have a managed counter.
It works fine but I'm currently not able to add a divider when I create my device.

Code: Select all

            
Domoticz.Device(Name= 'Device Name', Unit=DEVICE_ODOMETER, Type=243, Subtype=33, Switchtype=3,
                           Options={'AddjValue2': 1000, 'ValueQuantity': 'Kilometers', 'ValueUnits': 'Km', 'AddDBLogEntry' : 'true', 'DisableLogAutoUpdate' : 'true'},                                                                           
                           Image=Images[IMAGE_DEVICE_ODO].ID, Description='Distance driven', Used=1).Create() 

My device is well created. Quantity and units are loaded, history is loaded but ... the divider (AddjValue2 it seems) is not loaded.

Is there a way to create a device with the correct divider value?

Thanks for your help.

Have a good day.

Not an answer to your question, but please change "Distance drived" to "Distance driven"

Did you ever find a solution to this? I've encountered the same problem with a plugin that I'm trying to create that requires managed counter devices with Counter Divider set to 1000 but it's ignoring AddjValue2 for me too...

Code: Select all

           Domoticz.Device(Name="elecUnitCost", Unit=self.elecUnitCost, Type=243, Subtype=33, Switchtype=3, Options={'AddjValue2': 1000, 'ValueQuantity': 'cost', 'ValueUnits': 'p/kWh'}, Used=1).Create()

I'm not sure whether or not this syntax is correct for specifying the device options?

Are you sure you want to use a managed counter in your plugin? As it has no build in history function so you also have to program it yourself....

Yes the API I'm using effectively presents the smart meter data as 'history' (i.e. a list of values with accompanying timestamps), the newest available data is always at least 24 hours old, so managed counter seems to be the best fit.
