Good morning, over the past few months I have been working on developing the integration of the energy monitoring device produced by the company I work for on the SmartThings platform. The device consists of the following components: two power meters that measure real-time energy consumption and production, one energy meter that records the total energy consumption for the current month, and ten additional energy meters each recording the total monthly energy consumption for a different household appliance.
Currently, the device is WWST certified, can be added to the application, and can be used to schedule automations and routines. We have noticed the presence of the Samsung Energy app within SmartThings, and we would like to display the total monthly energy consumption data within the chart of this app.
I have a few questions regarding this:
- Is it possible to integrate a non-Samsung appliance into the SmartThings Energy app?
- Is it possible to integrate with the SmartThings Energy app using the components that define my device (powerMeter and energyMeter)? Do I need to add some specific component?
- We have noticed that within the SmartThings Energy app, it is possible to select the data source to display (this option is available only on a Samsung Fold device belonging to one of our contacts, but does not appear on my device or those of my colleagues). If it is possible to enable this function, what components does my device need?
- If there is a solution to integrate with SmartThings Energy, how should we monitor the integration during development? Is it sufficient to put the SmartThings app in developer mode? What steps are necessary to ensure that we can view the device data within the SmartThings Energy app during the development phase?
Here are two screens referring to point 3:
“Metodo di misurazione” is the option i can’t see on my app that enables to change the data source for smart thing energy
Here the possibile choiche, the second option “Clima Energy Monitor” is a smart meter .
Thank you for your help, the integration in smart things energy would be a great step forward for our device, but I couldn’t find proper documentation on this topic, if you have any hint, tutorial or useful link it would great.
