Some DA_WM_A51_20_COMMON Samsung Washer sensors report constant 0

[convicte]

Since transitioning to the custom integration, my Samsung washer stopped displaying some readings, while others seem to have confusing units:

1. The default integration used to show washer Power, but the custom sensor is a flat zero throughout.
2. The PowerEnergy used to be a valid sensor in W, but now reports a flat zero in kWh, which sounds like it would be a duplication of deltaEnergy. But, actually it's not showing any data, so it's just a waste of an entity.
3. The total Energy sensor provides very course information about the used kWh, but this may be just the nature of the information coming from the device. This said, if the Power sensor used to be able to report real time Power, I wonder why the Energy is creating a step pattern.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something?

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hi, on my Samsung device, powerEnergy and deltaEnergy report 0 values. As for the energy, it gives the total consumed energy value and should be used in the energy panel. Power gives the current power consumption.

The whole capability is in proposed state and does whatever the manufacturer wants, so again I do not know. https://developer-preview.smartthings.com/docs/devices/capabilities/proposed#powerConsumptionReport

This might be a fringe case of many, but honestly what does powerEnergy and deltaEnergy even represent?

The Refrigerator reports these values, in my case I ignore the delta and 'powerEnergy', I use the Power sensor for my power meter dashboard, but I dump the fridge's energy sensor into the Power Dashboard
