Hi guys,
Was anybody successful in using the ERGY UI5 plugin and measuring the wattage your AC unit uses?
I have the CT30 and put in 750,3000,750 in the energy used field. However the ERGY plugin is not registering anything!!
Am I doing anything wrong? I thought the first bvalue is for heating, then cooling, then fan only?
Or do I have to put this value anywhere else?
It works fine with my other Z-Wave devices, however measuring the energy used by the AC via T-Stat does not work 
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Flo
I’ve noticed that, too.
With my Trane thermostat under Vera 2 UI4, I manually put an estimated wattage under Settings > Energy Used. When the system was running, the wattage number would appear at the bottom of the thermostat module on the Dashboard. When I saw that number, I knew the unit was on.
Now, with Vera 3 UI5, the wattage reads “0 W.” And the ENRG plugin does not track HVAC usage. Other Z-wave devices - lamp modules, etc. - seem to be recorded OK.
Could this be a bug?
Hi Lonestar,
For me it actually started working properly after a couple of days.
