I've successfully paired an additional Current Cost Transmitter to my Appliance 1 channel and I see this using XFX however HAH doesn’t seem to be transmitting the actual watts of this channel, what am I doing wrong?

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF00DC0B
class=xAPBSC.event
source=dbzoo.livebox.CurrentCost:sensor.1
}
input.state
{
state=on
}

Just checked and sensor 1 was set to digital, I've changed to analog now however it doesn't seem to have made a difference, still seeing the channel without any watts reading, watt values are showing on the Current Cost screen all OK for channel 1

Pachube issue now!!??
Thanks Kevin, that worked I can now see a value included e.g.

text=330

However now for some reason this data isn't being pushed into Pachube. I've added a new row in my Pachube Settings in HAH for this sensor i.e.

ID=3 | Tag=house | Unit=W | xAP source=livebox.CurrentCost:sensor.1 | Event=xAPBSC.event | Section=input.state | Key=text

However in Pachube no additional datastream is included.

I've tried restarting the Pachube by 'refresh' and also disable/enable however no joy.

Any ideas?

Check that the "count=" value

Check that the "count=" value within the Pachube section of xap-livebox.ini has been updated correctly to show the total number of data streams. This has caught me out before now!

 

Edit: just noticed your source is missing dbzoo. off the start.

Should be dbzoo.livebox.CurrentCost:sensor.1
