I’ve a question about my Gosund SP111 flashed with ESPHome.
This is my current configuration:

# Higher value gives lower watt readout
current_res: "0.00260"
# Lower value gives lower voltage readout
voltage_div: "940"

# Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails

In HA i can see the sensors for volt, ampere and watt, but only the watt one is working for now. (Volt and Ampere are both always zero)
First question: How am i able to get them working? I don’t really know what to change in my config.
Second one: Is there a way to check, if the sensor outputs are correct? I tested the watt sensor with a Hue White and Color E27 (Internet says it needs about 9.5-10W) and i got an output with my config about 9.5W (100% brightness, cold light (the concentration scene inside the Hue App, according to some posts this one need the most power)).
I don’t have a specific answer for you - in fact, I’m surprised that both voltage and ampere sensors show zero when the power sensor is accurate. I assume you are verifying the power by looking at the entities on your developer page?
I suppose you could leave the espHome console up to the device, where you should see it spitting out numbers.
There are power measurement devices that you can use to calibrate/verify… Kill-a-watt is one of them. I check it out from my local library.
Yeah both, volt and ampere, show zero and i don’t know why.
Yep i’m looking at the entities, but also in the ESPHome logs, volt and ampere are always zero, but at least the volt sensor should be around 230V, because the plug is on, so it’s consuming a little bit of electricity, i don’t get it why that’s not working.
Ok thanks for that tip, i’ll look for a power measurement device, just to check if it the numbers are correct.
As an experiment, you could try altering your current_res and voltage_div numbers, but again, it strikes me as strange that you are able to get correct power number while those are zero.
