Hello
I’m using several Sonoff POW R2 to monitor the electricity consumption of various devices in my house.
however, I’m having different power calculations and I would like to know what is the correct one. they give different results
sensor:
- platform: wifi_signal
name: "Fridge POW WiFi Signal"
update_interval: 60s
- platform: uptime
name: "Fridge POW Uptime"
- platform: cse7766
update_interval: 2s
current:
name: "Fridge POW Current"
voltage:
name: "Fridge POW Voltage"
energy:
name: "Fridge POW Energy"
power:
name: "Fridge POW Power"
id: fridge_power_w
on_value_range:
- above: 4.0
then:
- light.turn_on: led
- below: 3.0
then:
- light.turn_off: led
- platform: total_daily_energy
name: "Fridge power_kwh"
power_id: "fridge_power_w"
filters:
# Multiplication factor from W to kW is 0.001
- multiply: 0.001
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
in the energy module, I can see a difference between the two sensors
you can see that the power_kwh gives around 1.27kWh and the energy gives 1.02 kWh
which one is correct ? and why is there a difference
thank you
