Reset energy consumption monitoring through Homey (e.g. in a flow)

Jeroenvano

A lot of devices support energy consumption monitoring. Is it possible (don't believe it is today) to let Homey reset/erase the consumption memory of a device in a flow? e.g. at 00:00 hrs every 1 day of the month/year?

If I look into the Fibaro dimmer 2 manual for example option b states it can be done by some controllers:
Resetting consumption memory:

Dimmer 2 allows to erase stored consumption data in three ways:

a) By resetting the device (see „Operating the device” on page 12).

b) Using functionality of a Z-Wave controller (see the controller’s manual).

c) Manually clearing the data using the following procedure:

1. Make sure that the device is connected to the power supply

2. Press and hold the B-button for a few seconds, until LED indicator glows GREEN

3. Release the B-button.

4. Press the B-button briefly

5. Energy consumption memory has been erased

@Jeroenvano
It should be possible to create such an action card to reset the device through the COMMAND_CLASS_METER - METER_RESET command.

The disadvantage to an action card, I do see and have been thinking about, will be that you always need to keep you flow updated with added or removed devices. It might be possible to create a reset for all (equal) devices command / action card or option within settings.

I will have a look into it this weekend / next week.

@TedTolboom ;Thank you! I agree that flows need to stay updated with added or removed devices but sometimes you just want to reset one device

Yes exactly what I was looking for 

BTW is the "current" meter new, or is this a Neo app specific feature?

TedTolboom

@Jeroenvano For now Neo exclusive (including Voltage)
Not all devices provide these meter reports... Just learned that the Aeotec Smart Dimmer-6 is also able to provide these meter reports. Fibaro's don't.

@TedTolboom Nice !

TedTolboom

@Jeroenvano the 'reset meter values' action cards have been added to the current App store version of the Neo, Fibaro and Greenwave apps...

I'm currently updating the Aeotec app and Smart dimmer to also incorporate the current and voltage:

Thank you @TedTolboom really appreciated!!

Great idea, nice feature!  

I'll add it to the TP Link app (it turns out there's a call for it: {"emeter":{"erase_emeter_stat":null}} ).
