Does not report Wh to MQTT

Open andriuskr opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

While charging, Wh topic is not updated to MQTT. It is alway the same value of 191895 . I assume it should represent charging power. Screenshot 2022-07-30 at 12 08 58 Screenshot 2022-07-30 at 12 09 16

This is a legacy thing, it is the same as the total_energy topic, it is only updated at the end of the charging session. We will probably remove it in a future version

Leaving no way to get current power usage ? :(

The session energy is available as session_energy, there is no instantaneous power, but both the current and the voltage are available for a simplistic power calculation

One could add a real time total counter, the total can't be used directly for counting consumtion prices with variable price per hour. I had to make my own externally.

Having a real time counter has sense for external tools.

this https://github.com/OpenEVSE/ESP32_WiFi_V4.x/pull/556 now has counters updated in real time
