Leviton has exposed "Hardware Counters" on a per breaker level (not just the CTs) this means that WHEM v2.0.13 firmware (potentially V1.7.6 as well) no longer needs to caculate "power x time" or require gap handling options.
In rc5 changes:
-
Capture and create new hardware counters (Lifetime Accumulating)
- All breakers that detect the new 'energyConsumption' and 'energyImport' fields will automatically create new Import/Consumption sensors for use in the HA Energy dashboard.
-
Total_daily sensors are now dual mode (non hardware counters = power x time, while newer with hw counters = delta between lifetime readings) depending on panel and sensor fields detected at startup.
-
Gap Handing is automatically hidden when Hardware counters are detected as they are not needed.
-
Reduction in API calls
-
Added Verbose WS debug logging when enabled (If a user with a Ldata setup can enable debug logging and capture a few minutes this will let us know if Leviton has created/exposed the new hardware counters for you as well)
Note
Changing the HA Energy Dashboard to use the new Energy Import/Consumption sensors will result in previous day graphs no longer showing solar data! There is a manual step that requires SSHing and running a small migration script to copy historical data to the new sensors if you wish.
