Energy reporting

[enesbcs]

All values reported by the Shellies with Watt-minute will be incorrect on the Domoticz side, until division implemented in the templates.

If you check templates in database, you can see:
"val_tpl": "{{(value|float/60)|round(2)}}"}

Which is needed for conversion to Watthour (or kWh). Until it will be supported in Domoticz, the energy devices will be disabled by default, but can be enabled manually if you wish on the Domoticz device list, as it is added anyway.

In case anyone wants to experiment with that, change MQTT template database lines from:
"unit_of_meas": "Wh", "val_tpl": "{{(value|float/60)|round(2)}}"
to:
"unit_of_meas": "Wm", "val_tpl": "{{(value|round(2)}}"}
and lets see how it works..

Latest Domoticz 2023 beta 15526 now supports Watt-hour and Watt-minute so division is no longer necessary templates are updated at commit

If you have problems with energy devices delete them from Domoticz and repeat the teaching process.

Hi Alexander,

Just to clarify.....
In de Domoticz Beta 15526 there is support for Watt-hour and Watt-minute.

The question I have about this:
At this moment in the old Shelly Python Plugin energy devices were created as Device Type "General" with SubType "kWh", with MQTT Autodisovery energy devices are created as Device Type "General" with SubType "Custom Sensor".
With the fix in Domoticz beta 15526 will energy devices now be created as Device Type "General" with SubType "kWh"?
This since Subtype "kWh" is more common then "Custom Sensor".

Thanks for your answer.

EDIT UPDATE 13-10-2023:
Build test environment with latest Domoticz beta version.
Added MQTT autodiscovery hardware (LAN) in Domoticz
Ran the ShellyTeacher4Domo script
Booted a Shelly device (with MQTT server of the test environment)
Devices were created.
For energy device it is now Device Type "General" with SubType "kWh" which is correct.

Since BETA is not my thing I need to wait for next stable release of Domoticz

Yes, the type will be kWh from.

Thank you for testing, the next stable Domoticz will has got several other MQTT enhancements also, such as dimmer device status update, Shelly TRV support and Gen2 cover device support.
