feral ridge
Hi al,, i created an helper, gas usage last 5 minits. Idea is that if the gas usage is above X value, then i want to turn on the airco or set the temperature + 0.5 if its on.
But im doubting if my helper is working, because it stays at 0. Someone is in the shower for the last 30 mins, so it should have changed in my opinion; but i still see 0,0.

How are you getting the data from the meter?

ok, and does the source sensor show the gas consumption you expect?
feral ridge
what i find confusing is that the helper keeps showing 0.0. Min = 0, Mean is 0 and then Max is 0.17 or so.

my guess is that it's not reporting very frequently - if it reports every 10 minutes then you will never have 2 readings within your 5 minute statistics window for it to calculate a change on
and then the one blip when it was non-0 was when it happened to report twice within the window for whatever reason
feral ridge
hm, how do i solve it?
feral ridge
Of is there a better way to solve this, as in another Helper
south arrow
Well... A bigger window would pick up more reading
maybe configuration changes to the meter or the sensor could make it report more often idk
I think you could use a derivative sensor to get a rate that was a bit more robust
I also just don't really.. Get the point of the automation you're trying to set up
feral ridge
The reason is to keep the gas usage 0. Gas costs money. Power is free, because of my solar panels and the “salderen” in the NL.

How does turning the aircon on if you are using gas cause you to not use gas?
feral ridge
The airco is used for Heating.
If this gets the temp “up” the thermostat doesn’t trigger the cv anymore.

So... Why do you want to trigger off the shower running?

I don’t, that’s why i have the condition after 2230, before 0600.
