Read energy data and notifications

Interpret current power, historical energy and alerts without treating missing measurements or delayed notifications as zero activity.

Power and energy describe different things

Live power describes a current rate, while historical energy accumulates over a period. Compare values with the correct unit and time range.

When data looks incomplete

  1. Check the selected installation and date range.
  2. Confirm whether the relevant meter or integration is part of the installation.
  3. Refresh after the connection is restored rather than interpreting an empty interval as zero use.
  4. Compare the timestamp of a notification with the current device state.

Notifications report events; they do not continuously prove the present state of the physical system.
