How to change a device value of sensortype"Usage (Electric)" in dZevents

[jpmd]

Can somebody tell me how I can update a value of a device of subtype "Usage (Electric)" in dzEvents?

I must be something like
domoticz.devices('Huisverbruik').updateActualWatt(myValue)
But this is not working.

Be aware this is not a very useful device as it does not report history. Better use the "electric Instant+Counter" device if you have both counter (kWh) and instant usage (Watt) values available. Also it can calculate energy usage (kWh) from the instant usage if the energy is not available....

OK, thank again.
I now use the "electric Instant+Counter". Much better!
