How to reset a Utility Widget ?

[pipiche]

I have a Electricity counter and I would like to reset all the history. How can I do that ?

I don't think there is an API call for this.
Delete the device and make a new one?
Else you would have to manipulate the SQLite database and delete the idx related entries in meter_calendar table.

Thanks @waltervl, I was more looking to an API or even to do it straight from the User Interface, as we can do for other logs.
Removing the device is not a possibility as this is created by a plugin.

In fact I'll describe more my problem an may be someone can help me. Any thing I'm doing Wrong ?

I'm using the Electricity (instant and counter) via a Python Framework Plugin. As I don't have any data for Usage, I'm updating the device with the instant power and putting 0 for the usage

basically when updating via the plugin

Code: Select all

nValue=0 and sValue="power;0" 

power is usually expressed in a float type

My main issue is that the Usage remains to 0

Here after are the log. We see the Instant Power, but nothing happen for the Usage !

I've checked the device and it is defined as COMPUTE as you can see in the hereafter screenshoot

This could be a python plugin framework issue not updating the device the same way as an http API call would do. What happens if you use an http API call instead to test?

API call indeed works. Thanks @waltervl
