Power measuring on RFXCOM switch devices

Hello

I have sett up a couple of NEXA switches thru RFXCom, they work great, but now I’m wondering if it is possible somehow to meassure the power consumption with them.

I know that they cannot do it themself, but as I have a bulb connected and a heating element attached to them, it would be nice to statically sett the watts and then have Vera report the usage.

I have added the urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:EnergyMetering1 with the variable watts to it.

This setting does not work, as it thinks the switch is on all the time it seems…

Any thoughts

Regards
Tommy

Hey, what a great old post!

Had the samt thoughts as TommyE but had no clue how to do it when I saw this post. I did not know you could “add” services, I had seen the fields in the advanced tab but never understood and never found any documentation.

What I did: Added to my “BinarySwitch” previously created by RFXtrx plugin.
New service: urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:EnergyMetering1
New variable: UserSuppliedWattage
New value: 60 (for example)

It works!! On the “Device” tab as well as on the Energy->Usage tab.

Anyone seen instructions on how to do the whole thing with datamine?

Cool, I will try this out.

Thanks
