Re: Virtual Energy Meter

I think this is exactly what I have been looking for to help understand my energy use. I was hoping to use this to monitor the consumption of my electric floors, where the thermostat, added via emaila plugin, records a heat on/off state. However none of my thermostat devices show up.
Would this be easy to change.
Thanks

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

I have now removed the Update checker and hopefully the plug in will work now.
I have tested it quickly and it works for me.

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

Hello,

is there an option to "urge" Virtual Energy Meter to update the power consumption (Energy Meter and Energy Meter current Power) using a Python Script?

Doing ti with following script

Code: Select all
for dev in indigo.devices.iter("props.SupportsEnergyMeter"):
   if dev.enabled and dev.supportsStatusRequest and dev.model == "Virtual Group Energy Meter":
      indigo.device.statusRequest(dev)


it ends up in:

Code: Select all
   Virtual Energy Meter Error      Error in plugin execution ServerReplacedElem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 328, in deviceUpdated
KeyError: key id 710455184 not found in database

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

If this plugin is not supported any more does anyone know a replacement?

Best regards

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

The error above is less a bug and more a missing device.

Have you checked/edited your plugin devices to make sure they're not pointing at/using a no-longer-existent device?

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

Will this plugin be update to Python 3? It's very useful to track power consumption, not just for those device that have not energy reporting, but also for groups (e.g., all power use in Pool, etc.)

Re: Virtual Energy Meter

I am hoping this will be supported going forward, its an incredibly useful app for monitoring all those lights and bulbs that dont report power, but where we know on / off state, or even brightness %

I was going to ask if we can have power for off as well, for bulbs like Hue that use maybe 0.5w in an off state, this would also be useful in being more accurate.
