Outdoor unit power incorrect

Open Finale0171 opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

A recent update to this integration seems to have inflated the Outdoor unit power usage entity.

Previously, in my case, my power usage was recorded as between 18-23 watts (it’s winter and my outdoor A/C compressor is idle)

Since a recent update (I’m not sure which), the wattage is inflated to 180-230 watts. It looks like the value is being incorrectly multiplied or a trailing zero was added.

@wirecuttr, I'm guessing this should be set to zero when the unit is not on? What is your experience with the outdoor unit values?

What is your outdoor unit? I have DZ17VSA heat pumps My system is set up with CT clamps in the panel so I can compare the two and the power tracks decently well. Below are two images. The first one is when the heat pump is heating. And the other is when I switch the unit to emergency heat (i.e., gas furnace) Screenshot_20240421-073704~2 Screenshot_20240421-073844

Perhaps the value needs to be handled differently for different types of outdoor units...?

@Finale0171 @dualtronic, please share your model numbers. We need to keep track of what units are having issues to figure out how to handle them.

I have a DX17VSS (air conditioner only). So right now while my system is in heat only mode, my outdoor unit power should be near zero (a few W might be expected as the mainboard is still on for the communication system)

My furnace is DM97MC0804CNAA and air conditioner (outside unit) is DX17VSS361AA. This is gas heating, so outdoor power should be zero since the compressor is off (or a couple watts for keeping the micro awake), but not nearly as much as being reported.
