Hi,
I use the Home Energy Meter Gen5 to measure electricity consumption. It is clearly visible in HA, and I can see the “A” and “V” data, BUT, nothing is displayed for the kVarh and kWh data.
example kVarh :
example kWh (not correct)
Have you an idea to correct that ?
Thanks
I guess I have part of the answer:
There is a difference between power (W) and energy (W/h)
The measurement here is for the consumption of a hot water tank.
I therefore assume that the kW/h display is correct since the power supply to the heating resistor is not permanent…
The fact remains that I don’t understand the display in “W” of “home_energy_meter_gen5_electric_consumption”
This is almost instantaneous power, but the values displayed are too low (5 - 15W while the indication “home_energy_meter_gen5_electric_consumption” indicates “3A” - which should give +/- 720 W ? - 240v in Europe)
Where is the error?
Thanks
I’d look at the device configuration and make sure you have it setup to report data periodically.
And more information :
Voltage is correct :
Amperage is correct I believe :
Power consumed at incorrect scale? Why ?
and in summary, we see that the power consumed does not correspond to the current consumed, why?
thanks
You may want to follow up with Aeotec support - it looks like a device issue,
The other choice is to calculate watts yourself using a sensor template that multiplies current * voltage
yes, I contacted them, but I think I discovered the reason for the problem 
In fact the clamp was placed between the outlet of the Power Reducer 4-Noks and the hot water tank.
I think that to obtain the power modulation to be supplied to the tank (depending on the production of the solar panels), there is a hash and that HME does not like in its measurements!
so I placed the clamp before the Power Reducer and now it’s ok
