Power shows only Usage 1 & 2 and Return 1 & 2

Topic says it all... when I look at the graphs build by the smart meter total power, it shows only usage of phase 1 and 2, also the return on phase 1 and phase 2.

How can I fix that (and so I don't loose the current values)?

Just wondering what happened here? Do you use the standard DSMR Smart meter integration or your own self made integration?

So you have the data on Phase 3?
Since when does this missing Phase 3 data occur?
If you have the L3 data you have to calculate and overwrite the existing values. I have never heard of this situation before so there are possibly no existing scripts or way of workings available.

I use the integrated hardware solution of Domoticz: Smart Meter

I think it was never there, but I have the Usage from L1, L2 and L3, but in the 'overall' Power view, I only see Usage (and Return) from 1 and 2.

Hello @nitpicker,

You are a lucky guy, as everything works fine😀.

It is a common misunderstanding that Usage 1 or T1 and Usage 2 or T2 and also Return 1 and Return 2 are related to phase L1 and L2.
And so phase L3 is missing.

This is not the case.

T1 or Usage 1 represent the low tariff and T2 or Usage 2 the high tariff. In Belgium it is the other way around. T1 you will pay in the late evening, night and the weekend days. Times depend on your contract.
T2 you pay during the week days. Similar with Return 1 and Return 2.

So T3 or Usage 3 does not exist.

Regards

Hi @FireWizard, don't think that is true.

When the sun is down, I have 3 different Wattage values on the Usage L1, L2 and L3.

When the sun is shining, the values are 0 Watt...

When it is cloudy it depends if the solar panels generate enough power to feed the usage.

I modified the wiki to make it more clear..... :-)

Hi @nitpicker,

Yes, it is true, believe me

Usage 1 or T1 and Usage 2 or T2 has nothing to do with the phases L1, L2 or L3.
See the settings and the log reports.
When the sun is down, I have 3 different Wattage values on the Usage L1, L2 and L3.
If the sun is down, your solar panels do not produce anything, and so you retrieve the energy from the grid.
When the sun is shining, the values are 0 Watt...
In this case you retrieve your energy from the solar panels and so the Usage (Consumption) show zero, while Return (Production) show the returned energy.

That are 2 different meanings of Usage!

Regards

Ok, I think I was a bit confused, because all the attributes under Power was about Wattage, but in the settings there are options to fill in the cost of energy.

Thanks for clarify things!
