Hello,
I’ve tried every solution given in this tutorial but for some reason i had no success. This could also be due to cheap “Tuya SP23” that loves to report 0W between the cycles when power drop from 1000w to 1w.
It may be me that didn’t have success with InfluxDb but in Grafana i can see everything.
Long story short…I took simplified version of the tutorial and i added timers to confirm if the power is constant or was just a spike, if it was a spike then the timer gets cancelled and is waiting for the next power drop.
the two variables on top represents the gaps between cycles.
this it works for me and i would like to share with others if helpful but i would like an opinion from someone with more experience if can be polished or it’s bad way of doing
I’ve left logInfo to help debug until timings are identified and working as intended
