Vera scene for less than a Watt

Other Devices & Integrations Power Management
#1

I recently installed a driveway sensor that i have hooked up to an Aeon smart switch. I’m able to view the power draw difference between the tripped and armed state but both values are less than 1 Watt and in UI7 I’m not able to specify down to decimal values.

Anyone have any software suggestions to fix this? I could add some sort of 1/2 Watt load so that it went from 0 to 1 watt but it seems like a huge waste for a software limitation.

For anyone else that has a similar issue I found an app Power Arithmetic that allows you to do mathematical manipulations. I ended up giving my created device a multiplying factor “power([deviceid]) * 100” to give me a 10 W difference instead of the real life .1 W difference

Here’s a link detailing the app [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,15840.0.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,15840.0.html[/url].
