Add a default power consumption of a device?
Posted: 07 Feb 2018 15:48
Hi,
I have two questions related to keeping track of power consumption of devices in Z-way
First, is there an app for that use case specifically, or do you use a more general "summation of sensors" kind of app?
Second, some Z-wave switches do not monitor power consumption, but really if you've got a couple of lights with in total 35W power draw, you basically know what will be consumed once you turn the switch ON. And, if the dimmer level is at 20% then you could estimate the consumption to be about 20% of that as a rough estimate. Will Z-way allow you to add a power consumption that is not measured by the device itself somehow?
Thanks!
Fredrik
