Question: device_power and device_energy

[GerdRuetten]

Hello community,
I understand that the "device_power" and "device_energy" sensors represent the self-consumption of smart devices.
But what about the "device_energy_daily, device_energy_weekly, etc." sensors? Are these also just the daily, weekly, etc. totals of self-consumption?

If so, I'm wondering where the actual power and energy sensors are.

Using a Shelly Plus Plug S as an example, Powercalc only generates a total of 6 sensors (see screenshot):

• device_power
• device_energy
• device_energy_daily
• device_energy_weekly
• device_energy_monthly
• device_energy_yearly

Confused!

Thanks in advance for any help.

These are all self consumption.

The actual appliance consumption is measured by Shelly plug itself and provided by power and energy sensors from the shelly integration itself.

So powercalc only adds power and energy sensor for the self usage in this case.
Because you have utlity_meter creation toggled it also created the _daily etc sensors.

Hi @bramstroker
thank you for your support!

In the Global Configuration, i have the Create utility_meter to ON (see screenshot)

But no _daily, _weekly, etc sensors are created for total consumption (see screenshot in first post).

Can you help me again, please!

TIA

Best regards
Gerd
