Energy panel - I like it. But what is the idea?

[afendikov 37]

Hi all.

 

I set up test unit of HC3 with latest beta and write a QA to integrate my Inverter Solar Generation

So - I see now in panel Energy Production, it works. ( 1st picture )

But it shows only 1 day production and not shows yesterday ( June 29 ), which is accumulated and can be checked in device Advanced Tab ( 2nd and 3rd picture )

 

It's a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

Energy Panel uses "energy" property for measuring consumption in actors (like switches)and for energy meter devices (com.fibaro.energyMeter) uses data stored in property "value".
Both those values needs to be kWh to work properly (consider this when creating a QA). 

Old charts (as in your screen) uses instant power (W) to calculate consumption, energy panel uses different mechanisms which utilize kWh reports.
From next beta both energy panel and summary in device will use the same data.

It would be great if certain devices could be excluded from the energy measurement.

I would do the overall measurement with a 3-phase meter from Qubino and ignore the other devices.

Hi @m.roszak, thank you for answer.

Yes, I'm using kWh data in Energy meter and Energy Panel shows Production, but only for _today_. Can you advise, why it not store data and show in yesterday graph? 

 

As you see - device have history for all metrics - power, energy, value. advanced tab shows all data, but energy panel only for today.

Is it only my HC3 or it happens to other people too.  In the current stable firmware version (5.070.42),  I cannot update the energy property of all devices connected to the SLAVE GATEWAY.  When I save the Watt energy property, it does not state any error, but when I refresh the Watt always stay "0".  Is it fixed in this BETA version?

Already done in next beta

I am unable to reproduce the issue, if possible we would like to take a look tomorrow.
We have introduced some changes in calculation algorithm (next beta) but checking it out is a good idea anyway.
PM me if this is not a problem.

Good morning @m.roszak - how to exclude devices from the energy measurement?

Thanks and greetings!

To stop collecting energy data for specific device we prepared a checkbox in advanced settings.
Unfortunately it is not functional from web interface (cannot be unticked) but we are working on it, soon new version correcting this will be available.

If you need solution right now there is a way to configure this via API using one simple request.

Hi @m.roszak. 

I'm trying to make API request to disable Energy Metering, but for now with no success.

 

Could you please help

local device = '1235'

local ip = '8.8.8.8'

 

function QuickApp:setParam()

    local function getData(url, method, headers, body)

        local http = net.HTTPClient({ timeout = 5000 })  

        http:request(url, {
            options={
                method = method,
                headers = headers,
                data = json.encode(body)
            },
            success = function(response)
                self:trace("http response status :"..tostring(response.status))
                if (tonumber(response.status) == 200 ) then
                    self:trace('OK')
                else
                    self:error("Response error: "..json.encode(response)) -- response.error.message)
                end
            end,
            error = function(response)
                self:error("Response: "..json.encode(response))
            end
        })
    end

    local body = { 
                args = {
                    'saveToEnergyPanel',false
                       },
                delay =30
                }
 

    local url = "http://"..ip.."/api/devices/"..device.."/action/updateProperty"

    local APIkey = "xxx"

 

 

    local headers = {
        ['Accept']              = 'application/json',
        ['Content-Type']        = 'application/json',
        ['X-Fibaro-Version']    = 2,
        ['Accept-language']     = 'en',
        ['accept']              = '*/*',
        ['Authorization']       = "Basic "..APIkey
    }

 

    getData(url, 'POST', headers, body) 

end

Please login or register to see this code.

This is a quickest way, just put this in scene or QA.

In current beta (5.072.25) available since yesterday option to disable saving the data from the energy meters works normally from the UI.
