Please confirm, that when changing the Energy Dashboard setup, total consumption might be lost
I used to have no FVE. I was using sensors measuring the consumption of each part of a building, then using them on the Energy dashboard together.
After adding FVE I had to switch to using Smartmeter data (provided by the Inverter). Since that, the dashboard stopped showing historical total consumption data. It doesn’t take past data into annual consumption.
I assume it uses data based on currently configured sensors, even for the past. But I found it to be a serious oversight. Such a change shouldn’t impact the history!
If you ask why I don’t use the same sensors for the measurements there are 2 answers:
- the electrical configuration changed, making the previous setup not applicable
- SmartMeter readings are considered a reference.
