Energy Hub Virtual meter

[Konstantinos_Patsaris]

Greetings Everyone.

We have Set up a Site in Energy Hub with 4 Power Tags all monitoring consumed energy.

We are trying to create a Virtual meter to show the total Energy Consumption of the Site.

To my understanding, in Energy Hub, the Virtual Meter can only show the difference between Consumed and Generated Energy. Also, we don't monitor main( incoming) energy, all the devices monitor feeder( outgoing) energy.

Is there a way to create a Virtual meter that shows the sum of the outgoing energy ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Konstantinos_Patsaris 

The virtual meter (VM) is calculated using the formula: Mains (incoming) minus Feeders(outgoing).

If you label all meters as "Mains (incoming)" and any meter as "Feeders(outgoing)," the VM will be equal to the sum of the "Mains (incoming)" meters as you expect.

You can also perform a similar operation without creating a VM and using only EEH's native functionality.

If, in the SETUP>Energy view, all four PowerTags are configured to be in the same location (screenshot2).

Then in future investigation,  energy consumption of that location will be automatically equal to the sum of the energy measured by the four PowerTags/meters. (Screenshot 3 with an example)
