Capability voltage

[Kristopher (Kristopher Kubicki)]

I think there are a lot of cases where this is useful. Certain power meters can and should be displaying the current voltage. Voltage drops harm equipment.

In addition, battery powered devices lose voltage over time as well.

Units should be the obvious Volts.

I think this one does for my Aeon Plug

Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch DSC06

I received the engineering spec from my friends at Aeotec, so I was able to write a functional device type for the Aeon Labs Z-Wave Smart Energy Switch . I know @bmmiller has already written a device type for this but included some preference that people might find useful. This device type remains ACTIVE so no need to poll the device from a SmartApp to keep it reporting You can disable the remote switch if you only care about energy monitoring You can adjust the interval that device reports to the SmartThings hub You can adjust in the preferences how the switch responds to the “Switch All” command You can turn on/off the debugging for the device though the UI I also commented all of the possible configuration values in the code if someone wants to subvert the device to their own will.

Nice. I think the other Aeon monitor already is using Voltage as an attribute:

Great idea!

I would call this “Voltage Measurement” to avoid confusion with the ability to set the Voltage via a “setOutputVolts()” command.

(And we have several existing examples of Capabilities that use the qualifier “Measurement” as part of their names, even if not entirely consistent and a tad awkward in some cases).
