Sorry - did not know about the metadata - and review process :slight_smile: - thanks a lot for the new release - i just updated the .jar - but i see errors now on the log:

am i missing something?

it seems all new “totals” channels have this problem. the new Power Usage works perfect - can confirm the values are correct :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

43

My guess is that the metadata had to be changed so the “units of measurement” are aligned with the KWh metric. I think I changed it properly in the .xml definitions.
Could you give it another try? (same location, I’ve overwritten the files)

44

Hmm - cannot follow what exactly you mean? i originally deleted the items and things before i updated - and re-created the thing and items?

45

oh i see you did a new release - will download the .jar and report you back!

46

ok i updated - but it is the same:

Failed to update item ‘Wechselrichter_Total_Energy’ because ‘18558 kWh’ could not be converted to the item unit ‘W’

47

Can you try to make your items to be Number:Energy instead of Number:ElectricPower?
If you do it via the UI I guess you may have to remove and re-add the Thing for the metadata to get updated. Can you check if the channels are of type Number:Energy (KWh) in the thing channel configuration?

48

Ok - currently if i create a new Item - it is:

image758×148 4.25 KB

Seems like all the total values are Number:Power:

image749×390 27.6 KB

If i delete the items - and create them as Number:Energy - it seems to work :slight_smile:

49

The interessting thing is now if i create the Local Connect Inverter thing from scratch - i get this in the logs:

Yeah. I guess the old-metadata is still in place. Saw that a couple of times during the development of something. I changed it in the code but some stuff is old in the “thing” even though it was changed in the code. Usually if you delete the thing and recreate it, it works.
So is everything working now smooth?
Please monitor it for a while and let me know if there is any weird behavior.

Cheers,
K.

well it is a bit strange - with the thing which i created yesterday - it works if i manually change the type to energy. with the update from today - if i recreate the thing - i get those errors - and the new total’s channels are not visible at all :sleepy:

52

is system:energy the correct typeid for the channel?if i look here - Thing Descriptions | openHAB there is an system.electrical-energy - dont know if i look on the right pages :slight_smile:

53

Thanks for the notice… probably I have to change it to system.electrical-energy
Very sorry about that.

Could you try again? I’ve uploaded a new version.

Cheers,
K.

54

damn - now the error says Cannot find channel type: system:electrical-energy :frowning:

55

Where is that? In the logs or in the UI? That’s strange… according to the thing type guide it should be there… :slight_smile:

56

i see it in the openhab.log - and the channels are not visible in the thing UI

when googling seems like there are the same discussions somewhere else - for example here:

Fritz!DECT200/210 Wall Plugs shown unknown after OH 4.0.0M3 update · Issue #15155 · openhab/openhab-addons (github.com)

wondering if the docs are wrong :hushed:

58

ok - here we go - i modified the .jar archive - and updated the localConnectInverter.xml - the correct type is:

system.electric-energy

after that the channels are displayed correctly:

hope i dont bother you with all my reply’s :slight_smile: - i noticed one small thing - from what i see the Total value need to be devided more then currently. this applies to Total Consumption / Total Energy / Total PV Energy

PV says 2024,90 kwh - 20388,0 kwh - this should be 2038,80 kwh

OK. I checked again… so in the documentation it’s electrical-energy but in the other channels the voltage and the current for example are electric-voltage/current. I have changed that to system.electric-energy.
Could you give it another try? (I have uploaded new jars in the same location)

yeah will try tomorrow as i am out now. did you see also the last comment about the values? :slight_smile:
