Kostal plugin leads to incorrect VRM dashboard (rounds to full kWh)

Hi,

We're using a Kostal Piko 7.5 with the plugin (https://github.com/schenlap/venus_kostal_pico), which works great locally. I set the interval to 5 seconds for polling the Piko.

But, in the VRM portal, it looks like only rounded kWh values arrive from the Piko, which leads to wrong production and wrong consumption values.

Thanks for any ideas and hints!

Hi, just a question. Do you receive values for L1, L2 and L3 for your Kostal plugin?

I only receive L1 and also i have the same problem as you with rounded values to full kwh.

thank you.
