"Power" indication is incorrect #158

Closed Vetjes closed 9 months ago

image The indication of 'Power' (Vermogen in Dutch) is often (if not always) incorrect. Should this indicate the current power of the source device? The picture shows my central heating, which NEVER reaches 247W, the highest is 60W. The time indicated in the figure is during a steady state around 32W. In other devices this also shows an incorrect number.

The power is calculated as an average over at least 2 minutes. The accuracy depends on the accuracy and the update interval of your kWh source. The power value in PBTH is not used for any internal calculations, it is just for informational purposes. So if in PBTH it shows an incorrect value, just ignore it ;)
