Energy monitor logic needs negative

#1

Hi There, I use an Aeotec energy monitor Gen 5 and I’m having difficulties with setting up control logic due to the negative values the device reports when the house is generating its own power. There doesn’t seem to be any way in webcore of checking if a negative value is greater or less than.

E.g. House using grid power = 1000w

House generating power = -1000w

I want to turn a device on and off only when the house is generating power basically. Is there a way of entering such logic, am I missing this being a noob to webcore?

“less than” works as expected…

… but you may discover that when it comes to power, your numbers change more often than you think.
(each power change will run thru the piston, top to bottom, so I do not recommend using this)

Thanks for the tip! - I’ll give that a try.
