Hello! I want to configure the smart plug so that it only adds consumption to the total watt counter only if the consumption exceeds some value. Chipset BK7231N. Firmware OpenBK 1.17.131. Please tell me how to do it? Sorry for my bad English :)

This is a good solution, but it could be written in more efficient manner. Here are some examples: Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard addChangeHandler Current > 100 setChannel 0 0 addChangeHandler Power > 40 setChannel 1 0 addChangeHandler Channel0

Hello, you need to update the firmare, then you can use both on change event and a variable access. Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard addChangeHandler Energy > 40 setChannel 1 0 Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard SendGet

Hello, why do you want to make such a change? It would require a little modification in code, but anyone can do it with some basic programming knowledge. You would need to fork our repo, add a single if statement, and let online build get you latest binaries with your change included.

When I charge a battery for a screwdriver, or a battery for a scooter, I then want to see how much energy this battery can now take. I have efficiency factors for my chargers. But when the charging is over in a couple of hours, then the rest of the night or maybe a few days the charging is idle and spoils the statistics. Therefore, for example, if there were some kind of threshold to cut off the idle mode, it would be convenient. Added after 19 [minutes]: I seem to have found the perfect solution. It turns out that you can write your own scripts and put them in the autoexec. I just wrote a script that turns off the socket if the consumption falls below the threshold. Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard setChannel 11 0 start1: delay_s 5 if $CH11>=5 then goto end1 if $power>=60 then goto end2 if $power

Please tell me how to get the value of the energy counter in the script?

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring a smart plug with a BK7231N chipset and OpenBK firmware (version 1.17.131) to only add to the total watt counter when power consumption exceeds a specified threshold. The user initially seeks advice on implementing this feature. Responses suggest that a code modification is necessary, specifically adding an if statement to the firmware. The user later discovers a solution by writing a script that disables the socket when consumption falls below a set threshold. Additional suggestions for more efficient scripting are provided, along with guidance on accessing energy counter values through firmware updates and event handling.
