Mess with Aeotec ZW095 HE Meter GEN5

Configuration Z-Wave

Hi there from :portugal:,
i’m now adding this energy meter at our home to try to reduce electricity bill (last winter was a disaster).

So the z-wave network is working with Aeotec Z-stick Gen5 and the HEM is reporting the values correctly :sunglasses:
My problem is that i can’t put the meter reporting only the values i need (Watt, Kwh, Voltage, Amperage, kVah, kVar) in real time and calculate the cost in EUROS per day.

you can see there are duplicate values with different time interval (Black) and previous values (RED).

Aeotec manual says nothing about it Aeotec Link

Have anyone tried to solve this?

You need to configure the meter using the link you posted to “push” only the data you’re interested in. The rest of the sensors will still appear but not update. The previous values are exactly that - what was measured the previous time values were reported, this way you can calculate the rate of change of a value and this way you can notify of higher than expected usage.

If you want to hide the previous values you should do that by configuring the UI - changing the views, etc.

So the entity are always there, are updated or not.
You have the template to calculate the summary of each day?
Thank you @kirichkov

If you just want to hide them from the ui go to Configuration -> Customization find their respective entries in the dropdown and at the bottom, where ‘Pick an attribute to override’ is select ‘hidden’ and set it to true.

Re, calculating a summary - no I don’t because I log that data in both emoncms and influxdb, so if I want to view a day’s data, I use either of these.

They are hidden already. The previous values are there but i don’t use, there should be a way to erase.
I’m considering the emoncms too, now it’s paid… or the influxdb+grafana (don’t know).

Emoncms is open source, so you can always self host it, which I do.
