Description
In case of positive-only smartmeter measurements the virtual meter is blind at the left limit of the range.
Example scenario:
- There is a consumer like a fridge using 500W for a few minutes
- The virtual meter will report a demand of 500W & the inverter delivers the 500W
- The smartmeter reports a grid import of 0 W
- If the fridge turns off the measurement of the smartmeter won't change: 0W
- We are exporting 500W to the grid now.
Goal: Try to minimize the time and the power exporting to the grid without knowing how much power is exported
If your smartmeter supports negative measurements / indicates exporting to the grid by a negative sign please use:
