OWL support

[oliv06]

Hello Willi,
I have just bought an OWL micro+ energy meter, which is recognized as OWL CM180 within the RFXTRX module
I was wondering why do you include units in "energy_current" and "energy_total" readings (W and kWh), because it make them more difficult to use in calculations. For exemple, I would like to calculate average power over last period using userReadings, but it will be more complicated (at least less readable) than if there was no units.
Is it possible that you change this behavior ? It seems to me that other modules do not include units, which are only documented.

Hello Olivier,

some modules use units, some don't.

I am not sure what happens when I drop units for CM180.

Who else is using the CM180?

Best seems to be to make depend from a attribute to turn units on or off. I will put this to the TODO list.
In the meantime, you may change this at 46_TRX_WEATHER.

Thanks Willi, I will do it in the meantime

Hi Willi,
- Did you have time to review this improvement (attribute for units on/off) ?
- There is a unwanting warning in the log if verbose = 1 because of a typo (I think)

Would need to change a line in 46_TRX_WEATHER.pm :
1325c1326,1327
<             Log3 $name, 1, "TRX_WEATHER: name=$name device=$device_name energy_total scale_total=".$def->{scale_total};         
---
>             #Log3 $name, 1, "TRX_WEATHER: name=$name device=$device_name energy_total scale_total=".$def->{scale_total};         
>             Log3 $name, 5, "TRX_WEATHER: name=$name device=$device_name energy_total scale_total=".$def->{scale_total};

+1 for removing it
It ends up in the VALUE field in dbLog.
FBDECT writes V, A, H, W, Wh as well - should probably be removed there, too.
Where does the value for UNIT in dbLog come from?

[Willi]

- units removed on energy_current and energy_total.
- Fix for Log deployed.

Do a update tommorrow and report if it is working please.

Thank you very much Willi, it works !

Could you also integrate the patch I proposed for chacon security sensors ? http://forum.fhem.de/index.php/topic,15040.0.html
