I notice the log files for the integration service show the cc envi data at 1 minute intervals. I wonder how this is used to produce the 5 minute interval figures on pvoutput. Is the 5 min figure the average of the 1 min figures for the power and the energy is derived from that average over 5 minutes?
I ask because one of my streams is erratic and is not producing data for each minute, so is the averaging done as “sum of data over 5 minutes divided by the number of occurances” or is it always “sum divided by 5”? This is something which may have been happening for years, and I am trying to establish how this will have affected my daily and cumulative figures. I have now fixed the error but the dodgy history remains.
It should be the average of the number of 1-minute samples in the 5-minute window.
Hmm . See below a section of the cc logs for 11/11/22. For KB Gas consumption. Looking at 08.10 I have (on the graphs) power of 11768w which is the power at 08.08. I would expect this to be the average of the 07.08 and the 08.08 which is (9282+11768)/2 = 10525.
Further down 08.56, 08.58 and 09.00 averages at 13370 but reported at 09.00 is 11271 which is the reading for 08.58.
Am I missing something? See data below.

Its been a while but you are right, the logic is it will round the last interval to the nearest 5-minutes and upload that data point. This is no averaging of the data points.
Thanks BB - any chance of a more accurate data point such as average of the reports from the preceding 5 minutes? regards G
I’d say a very slim chance 
Its a pretty old setup and would need to dig up a COM port emulator used to simulate the currentcost device data.
Fair does. I still use cc because I upload gas consumption as well and there are few options for that, and my cc gasmart device works well.
