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…

[image] remco: Created a virtual device with Heat Pump role on version 3.80~21 and initially it plotted the total used kWh instead of the delta between two measurements. This leads to a huge spike. It happened again today after upgrading to 3.80~22. Did you set the following to “no”? I’ve fou…

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).

Wow, that makes a lot of sense. I just changed the setting, that must be it. Thanks, that’s very helpful.
