Hallo.
Is it possible to make portable the Domoticz application? I have a pc where I have not the administrator rights so I'd like to install a portable version of Domoticz.
Hi @David-Marlinge
I have struggled with these meters in Domoticz also. I am using an S_Power meter for an energy monitor which looks like what you are using. This is my understanding:
The value on the top of the bar is the power you have most recently sent (in Watts).
Domoticz calculates kWh from the watts and the time it was sent.
kWh used today is shown on the Utility screen (your 2036.992).
Overall kWh is what is shown on the device tab (your 2311414.016).
I present an S_POWER device, then measure the current and multiply by the voltage to get the power in watts. Then I send that with a V_WATT message. I don't calculate the kWh. Domoticz calculates kWh from the Watts I send and time I send it.
For example:
present(CHILD_ID_PWR, S_POWER, "Emon 38/26H");
. . . . . . . .
MyMessage Msg_Pwr(CHILD_ID_POWER, V_WATT);
. . . . . .
send(Msg_Pwr.set(Pwr, 1));
Then the Pwr value should show up in that top bar. Domoticz will calculate the kWh used based on the time of the power updates.
I have not really used the V_KWH variable, so I'm not sure how that fits in with this one.
I have 2 motion sensors on Domoticz, and they both show the battery level.
Maybe it is because your level doesn't get sent often enough. I do send a battery level every 30 minutes even if the value hasn't changed (which is way too often. But, I am still experimenting with these nodes.)
Or, maybe it has to do with the Domoticz version. My Domoticz version is 2020.2
Hi, I create a library with full documentation for this device and I'm going to release a complete web solution.

@Eme Thanks for letting us know how you solved the problem - helps us all to learn. I've recently upgraded my Raspberry Pi 1b to 4 and just got it working as an ethernet gateway with standard NRF24 radio. I'm curious about a few things as I've been trying to also use a PA LNA radio but without success;
Any reason you have set up your gateway as serial and not ethernet?
What did you mean by "Don't rely on GPIO pins to power it, use a regulator". By regulator did you mean the capacitor, did you use another regulator component - I can't see from your image
Did you change the power setting of you configuration file MyConfig.h -lowering the power to "RF24_PA_LOW'?
