Using a Virtual Device with EV charger role. The physical device behind it had 2000+ kWh total energy when I started using it (it’s an MID meter). When I first commissioned the Virtual EM, VRM showed a 1h EV charger consumption of the 2000+ total energy. When I upgraded to the latest beta last night it did the same thing again.
Now in VRM, I have 2 days in a little over a month both showing an enormous spike in EV charging consumption.
Please make sure to update to the latest beta of Venus, which includes node-red-contrib-victron 1.7.11. That should resolve this (because of this patch).
The upgrade mentioned in my post was to the latest beta 
Did you set the following to “no”? I’ve found that if you leave it as “yes”, then the system initializes the virtual meter with a zero kWh value. When the first “real” reading comes in, you get a spike (e.g., after every Cerbo reboot)
By setting it to “no”, I believe it initializes the virtual meter with no kWh value. So when the first “real” reading comes in, that’s the starting point.
I changed the setting after the first comment from Dirk-Jan just to be safe 
Wow, that makes a lot of sense. I just changed the setting, that must be it. Thanks, that’s very helpful.
