Realtime Power

[MBRetrofit]

Used App
midea_ac_lan over HA

The description of problem
Working great with Conter Breeze by Midea recognized like AirCon_7DCC.

Total Energy Consumption - works great as well

The Realtime power shows 0W all the time.

Can be extracted from Total Energy or any other workarounds?

Great job!

I don't know how precise either of these would be, but you can potentially calculate it from current or total consumption.
However for both you would need to know the update interval for consumption.

For current consumption (if it's calculated every second):
power = (current_consumption) / time_interval
e.g. (0.1 Wh) / (1/3600 h) = 360W

For total consumption (if it's calculated every 30 min):
power = (current_total_consumption - previous_total_consumption) / time_interval
e.g. (60 Wh - 10 Wh) / 0.5h = 100 W

Why do you even need realtime power?
I would be more than happy just to have total consumption to put in into the energy dashboard.
Unfortunately, my All Easy Pro has all 3 of these reading at 0. I guess the hardware doesn't measure them at all.

Btw. if you really need exact measurements, the best would be to put a power meter with a CT clamp around the AC cable. Even the cheap Tuya ones are pretty accurate. Alternatively, a smart plug, even though I wouldn't recommend a smart plug with heavy consumption appliances. They have too sensative internal breakers, and often trip when there is a momentary inrush of high amperage
