Every once in a while, the readings for the utility meter have jumps; like from 300 kWh to 9.000 kWh or more instantly! This is the Grafana graph and table for the “monthly_home_energy” utility meter:
As you can see; the total consumption value jumped from 23.006 to 23.287 and then goes back to 23.006. But that negative increase causes a huge jump in utility meter.
As i understand most of the people who are using ZWave power units are having this problem. Is there a way to correct this issue, like if the increase in consumption is negative, just discard it; except when utility_meter.calibrate is used or utility meter resets the value on cycle?
I’m still seeing spikes after setting my window size to 4 and a radius of 100.
The documentation on outlier filter doesn’t really explain (to me) how radius and window size work together.
What settings are working well? The Rainforest updates every minute and we have 200 A * 240 V service, so we should never be able to consume more than 48 kW (solar / generate is 12.5 kW).
