TV power consumption > 10 watt > e-mail notification

[MagicT 0]

Hello everybody,

I created a new scene for testing which should send me an email if the power consumption is > 10 watt. In this case I used the wall plug from Fibaro.

I have two issue for which I have no answer.

A)

I received not only one mail if TV has been switched on. I receive dozens and more.

B) based on the attached screen shot I would like to know where in the settings of HC2 I can change the information marked in the red box.

Obviously I typed at the beginning of setting up the Zwave enviroment (6 months ago) something like "Rasensprenger an" -> "sprinkler on" but I don't know where to change this wording and/or to insert new "phrases".

Furthermore pls. find below the LUA code, although I solely work with the graphic.

--[[

%% properties

10 valueSensor

%% globals

--]]

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(10, "valueSensor")) >= 10 )

or

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

fibaro:call(2, "sendDefinedEmailNotification", "1");

end

I would be happy if someone can help me.

Best,

MagicT

Check this:

click on the puzzle tile (Panels), then click on "Notifications Panel". On the left (at the top) you find the "Notification List". There you can find all configured messages - you can edit them, or delete, or create a new on.

Many thanks z-Tom,

I inserted new messages. So problem B) has been solved.

Has someone an idea what I have to change regarding the multiple messages I receive per email from the HC 2, see my scene and LUA code, which I posted unter A).

Best,

MagicT

Try this :

- disconnect the TV from the plug

- set the level of power consumption to 1 (yes, one).

Wait. Get you an email ? I think no. Plug the TV in the plug. Wait. Get you an email ? I hope no,too

Switch the TV on. Wait. Comes one email ? Or more ?

Maybe the power consumption goes up and down and the Scene is due this often triggered - and than you get a lot of emails.

EDIT : An other idea : Try an old bulb (lamp) instead of the TV. What happens ?

Probably the power consumption varies over time.

You should have a variable like "powerTV", if the power consumption rises above for example 1 and powerTV is 0, send a notification and set powerTV to 1.

Have another scene that checks if power consumption is < 1 and if powerTV is 1, change it back to 0.

I have a similar problem aswell. I have created a scene for sending a push notification every time my washing machine is finished. Found out that it pulls 5 watts when it is finished and in standby.

I created a scene with if <5 w then send push.

Only problem is I get 10 or more notifications as long as the consumption is lower than 5. Tried making one with =<5 but the consumption is not that stable.

Can anybody assist?

hello, this is my scene below and to find out when the washing machine has finished, there are 3 variables to be entered in order to know if the machine is playing, stop and if I have already sent the push, because if not, sends push all the time.

I control that if the watts are> 500 then the washing machine is accessa and if after drops below 3w then it means that it is turned off.
