Cumulative flag for extended data and calculated power extended field

[d1965]

I want to measure the power consumption of my spa. It is connected to a kwh meter and I can send the lifetime value of the kwh meter to v7. I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to get the (average) power calculated in v8? I see ‘cumulative’, ‘energy’ and ‘change’ as calculations, but I don’t think they are suitable for this. I think it should be about the reverse of ‘energy’.
2. In stead of lifetime values I would like to have the value for the current day in v7. Can i achieve that? Something like c1=1 for v1/v3?

Thanks!

The only options currently available are documented at https://pvoutput.org/help.html#extendeddata-summary

Please start new ‘idea’ threads for both new features to be supported.

Added two idea topics:

Extended calculated parameter - calculate power from cumulative energy

I would like to see an extra calculation option added to a calculated extended parameter. Is it possible to get the (average) power calculated from another extended parameter that contains a cumulative kwh value? I see ‘cumulative’, ‘energy’ and ‘change’ as calculations, but I don’t think they are suitable for this. It must be about the opposite of ‘energy’. I assume that you have to take the status interval into account.

Addstatus service - Add cumulative flag for extended data

I would like to see a cumulative flag for some (or all) extended data. Something like c1=1 for v1/v3? For example: c7=1 means v7 contains cumulative values.

Thanks for creating those threads.
