Cannot get real time data being always zero despite good communication according debug logs

[matbe81]

Describe The Bug: Real time value is always 0 lux

To Reproduce: Nothing special.

Expected behavior: Having the real time data correct as it look to be a calculation issue.

Same with me, but my "computed" value is 0. You should try to set "PowerUnsignedValue" to TRUE.

You are right. It works. But instructions seems not correct and confusing so: What does checked means? Signed or unsigned. I assume unsigned according your answer?

[Kalie15]

in your json.config it's now

"powerUnsignedValue": true

and that is the truth ;-)

[matbe81]

Correct. Updating the GUI for clarity can be appreciated.

[Kubiac]

Starting with version 0.11 the plugin can display two light meters when values are signed (can be negative). So you can now monitor import and export. I will adapt the UI for more clarity.

Thanks for the feedback

Check out version 0.13
