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…
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?
