Accommodate adjusted multipliers for commercial meters

Open ctops1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I have an EMU-2 that is pulling data from a commercial kV2c GE meter from ComEd. The problem is that commercial ComEd meters report a kWh value that must be multiplied by a certain value (in our case, 60x) to get an accurate kWh reading.

For example, the EMU-2 is currently reporting 0.75 kWh usage. Multiplied by 60, our building is actually using 45 kWh. (3 AC units across 10,000sq ft... in 80F weather)

Is this something that can be accounted for in the HCAS plugin? It seems like an unusual case and I am not sure how it would be worked around in HASS in a way where HASS's own energy tracker would record the correct usage. It may be easy to make a sensor that multiplied the data but that doesn't integrate well with the default HASS energy recorder.
