Daily energy consumption totals incorrect about mypyllant-component HOT 12 OPEN

The values aren't recorded incrementally, like you're describing.

The API returns the totals for the current day, so every hour (when the totals are updated by the integration) I just get the latest total value for that day. AFAIK there is no way to miss any energy values this way. But there may well be something wrong with timezones, or the way the values get reset within Home Assistant. I'm using total_increasing for the energy sensors.

I may be able to help, if you can provide more information (screenshots comparing the vaillant app and what you're seeing in HA).

I posted a more thorough explanation about this problem at the very bottom off this page.

Thx for answering . . . and ok, I'll understood the Problem now ;-)
Today the HP was not set to standby, so the difference is clearly visible on the Screenshots attached.
I stay in Germany MEZ: UTC+1 and indeed, the gap is smaller since Wintertime startet. Formaly the consumption totals startet app. 3:00 AM - There is no settings in "myVaillant App" to set Timezone - but Germany was selected when I start the App first time.

Beside:
Yesterday myVaillant App shows a Consuption of 8.8 kWh - in HA it was 8 kWh
Maybe a Sensor can be created, showing the Values of Yesterday?
So my Grafana will show more realistic graphs ;-)

I have also a problem in the logs. In Home Assistant it stop working at 00:35 - Happy New Year ;)
The app says 0 value. I think this is the problem and why the state is "unknown".

Thanks for the great integration!

Hello everyone,
I have the same problem. I came from Multimatic Integration and switched to MyVaillant. Since then, the values have differed significantly every day (HA and MyVaillant app). Sometimes there are 3-4kWh missing daily in HA.
The Multimatic integration had added up the values in each case. Now the values are "reset" daily.

What is the smartest way to restore the status so that the values between the app and HA are consistent?

Many thanks (especially to the developer who makes it possible to read out the WP / HP in HA)!

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem and I think it may really be related to some issue with timezones.

If you check the image below, the first graph is my Shelly Energy meter on the main and the second is what the heat pump says. There is basically nothing else consuming power (<50W). You can see the same graph pattern, but about 4.5 hours delayed. Why? My timezone is CET+1 on both the device and HA.

Any ideas?

from mypyllant-component.

...and also to add, if I check my energy dashboard, the difference between what Shelly measured and what the heat pump reports as consumption differs exactly by what was consumed by the heat pump in the last 4.5 hours of every day...

from mypyllant-component.

In my case, both the Raspberry with HA and the Vaillant system have the same time / time zone setting (Europe/Berlin).

from mypyllant-component.

If you compare the heat pump current power graph with flow temperature, does it match or is it also shifted by some time as for me?
The power readings are completely off in my case and I assume it will break the consumption alignment for a day...

@signalkraft thanks very much for this detailed explanation on the docs page! this helps me alot to understand the problem.

Am I right: we cannot do something against this problem? Is there a discussion at Vaillant or in HomeAssistant to upvote?

from mypyllant-component.

So I think, there is nothing to do here.
I will close this Issue for this reason.
Thank you for explaining, Signalkraft!

I would leave the bug open. It's a problem that many people will stumble across during the heating period.
Perhaps you can at least write the lost values to the following day so that the overall balance is at least consistent again.
