Inline Monitor Settings

To edit a the settings for an Inline Power Meter, navigate to the Devices Configuration plugin and choose the desired device from the list. A device type specific editor will open.

NOTE: Some settings and pages below, denoted by “(advanced)“,  are only visible with the Show Advanced Settings options checked in the plugin options.

 Sensor Settings

1. Sensor Inverted. Flip the polarity of your sensors (i.e. negative readings will become positive readings and vice-versa).
   • NOTE: This value should not be changed from the default value (No).
2. Current (A) Multiplier (advanced). An additional multiplier to be applied to your current reading.
   • IMPORTANT: This value will impact the readings from the hardware if chosen incorrectly.
3. Voltage (V) Multiplier (advanced). An additional multiplier to be applied to your voltage reading.
   • IMPORTANT: This value will impact the readings from the hardware if chosen incorrectly.

 Advanced Settings

1. Sample Mode (advanced). Change the method used to sample data.
   • NOTE: The default sample mode is COS and should not be modified unless instructed to. If set incorrectly, this setting can have a significant impact on system bandwidth and responsiveness.
     • Change of State (COS) only sends data when it detects a change in value.
     • Polled mode sends readings at a fixed interval.
2. Sample Mode Options (advanced). Options are presented based on the Sample Mode selected.
   • When Sample Mode is set to Change Of State, this specifies the minimum difference in wattage readings for a new data point to be recorded.
   • When Sample Mode is set to Polled, this specifies the period in seconds at which data points will be captured.
