Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 5/9/2023 - eviltoast

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Thanks for pointing out the Utility Meter integration. So much to learn!

    Unfortunately, I spoke a bit too soon. It seems to display current ok, but power just shows as 0W all the time, and voltage was previously showing ok but now is just constantly saying 1.0V. Gonna have to play around a bit more.

      Maybe something to do with the polling? I notice under the documentation for LocalTuya in the section “Energy monitoring values”:

      On some devices, you may find that the energy values are not updating frequently enough by default. If so, set the scan interval (see above) to an appropriate value. Settings below 10 seconds may cause stability issues, 30 seconds is recommended.

        Thanks, I’ll have another read of the docs. I’ve messed something up, values don’t seem to be updating anynore and turning it on/off doesn’t work, though it says it’s connected.

        I did work out I had the voltage set to the wrong sensor. So that got sorted once I fixed that.
