2 years ago Unfortunately as described here: https://docs.glowmarkt.com/GlowmarktAPIDataRetrievalDocumentationIndividualUserForBright.pdf meter reading and current consumption are not available via the DCC, as the data is always delayed by 30 mins.
The changes in #191 should reduce the load on the API - I just need to find time to implement them.
Duplicate of #116
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The Glow API is unstable, and partly blamed on "agressive polling" from the Open Source community. There is a realsitic possibilty they API will be removed. I wonder if there is a better way from this integration to work?
Describe the solution you'd like One of the issues is the repeated requests for Daily and Annual readings - which Glow say has a heavy processing cost.
In this integration, we could just read the actual & current meter reading. The energy integration should work fine off the meter reading.
Users that want the daily and annual calculations could use the utility meter integration.
It would be a breaking change - removing the today & annual sensors, but would push down a less "aggressive polling" approach.
Describe alternatives you've considered Carry on regardless and hope Glow fix it their end.
