Can not find where to define 'Production' and devices with Role 'Power Sensor' do not show options; Save energy to db and use stored energy data

[pflugj 13]

Hi.

 

1st I can not find the option "production" any more

 

2nd I can not find the option to select
Energy consumption

Save energy to database

Use stored energy data in Energy Panel

 

Those settings used to be under the devices "advanced' tab.

 

And the Energy Panel is showing that there is ´production'

 

Am I missing something here??

This device is representation of instant power (Watts), not kWh.
Panel uses accumulated energy for production and consumption (kWh), not Watts.

So where does the 'Energy Panel' get the production from??

As the screenshot shows, there is 'production´ which I am quite sure was defined in the "PV-Power" device.
...and the the production was/is calculated correctly (which is the integral of the power,  am I right?)

[m.roszak 763]

Normally devices reports both, in case of integrations it is related to the data which can be pulled from API of the inverter.
Most of them already reports both (watts and kWh).

If you can pull kWh from the inverter use com.fibaro.energyMeter device type and put in property "value" kWh reported by the inverter.

com.fibaro.powerSensor does not have a function for calculation energy from power.
New type com.fibaro.powerMeter is desired type to go for reporting Watts in the system but it also does not have this function yet.

Enabling virtual energy calculation for com.fibaro.powerMeter is panned in future.
Maybe there is a workaround for this one but it will be an ugly one.

If you do not have possibility to pull kWh from the inverter then you need to calculate kWh from power (watts) yourself.

I have written a QuickApp with a lot of child´s to retrieve all the info from Victron VENUS via MQTT.

... and I was of course looking at the wrong device    ...stupid me

 

I have 4 devices which are of type="com.fibaro.energyMeter"

...and of course there is the option to select 'production'

 

Here is a screen shot of the current version of the QuickApp and its numerous child´s.

I am using the Total 258 and 260 Yield  for the Energy Panel
* Save energy to database
* Use stored energy data in Energy Panel

 

By the way:

Is there anywhere a document which shows the available device types and the interfaces??

 

 

[m.roszak 763]

All device type you can find on your gateway, /api/devices/hierarchy lists them with dependencies (which type originates from other).

As for interfaces, there is no such thing as this is dynamic - not all interfaces can be used in specific types.
You can get possible additional interfaces for specific device with api/additionalInterfaces?deviceId=XX where XX is ID of existing device.

I am glad that everything is clear now.

Does the Yubii app already support the com.fibaro.energyMeter ?

I can not see the com.fibaro.energyMeter in the App

[m.roszak 763]

Nope, not yet.
