Can anyone tell me how often energy readings are sent to MIOS?
I have software working that can write the values from a Brultech Module into the Wattage Variable in a Dummy Dimmer and I want my updates to be at the same frequency as MIOS just to save Vera overhead.
Any information regarding the Energy Reporting would be much appreciated.

I think this can vary depending on the device. My Aeon HEM for instance (when it hasn’t locked up) sends about every 5-10 seconds.
I think the best way this would be achieved is by only sending a change, or only a change when the value exceeds a certain % of change.
Thanks for the information. My question may be difficult to answer unless you have seen the data stored in MIOS in its raw form. Let me be more specific…The data that is sent out over the internet to MIOS central station must have a slow frequency of reporting…once an hour (my guess) and that data is turned into Charts and Graphs. If I am reading my Brultech Monitor once a second and logging KWMinutes then I really only need to send the data to Vera once an Hour (again my guess)…My code will simply change the Watts to a figure that will match the Brultech Data. The only way this will work though is to know the frequency that Vera reports its data to MIOS central station!
I may be barking up the wrong tree with this idea but it seems more logical than writing tons of data to the Vera which of course uses up its tiny resources!
I do like your idea as well but maybe write data once a minute and let Vera do the rest. If I can’t get the frequency of reporting then that will be my only option.

Look for the string “[tt]LogEnergyUsageOnServer[/tt]” in [tt]LuaUPnP.log[/tt], and you’ll see how often it attempts to upload.
It has another, related, log line line…
[tt] FileUtils::ReadURL did download https://evt1.mios.com/report_energy_log_1.php?PK_AccessPoint=
[/tt]
which is doing the actual work.
As far as I can see from watching the data on cp.mios.com, it gets updated, every time there is a change from my Aeon.
Yep, the live view is live.

Thanks
I will look at my logs today…the update might be different for different devices. I want to know how often a dimmer is updated (Wattage). I think it may be reported everytime it changes but we will see!
