I was finally getting ready to bring all my (ten) Inovelli White Series On/Off switch Energy tallies into HA’s Energy Dashboard when I noticed that they were all registering 70+ kWh of energy consumption (these are small LED lightbulbs, some only used at night, so that struck me immediately as impossible). Not only is the rate of consumption higher than it should be based on the actual loads being powered, but the tally continues to increase at this accelerated pace even when the load is off. Apologies if this has already been reported in detail. I did search (though perhaps not well!).
Details follow. . .
——————————————————**
Device: Inovelli White Series On/Off (VTM30-SN)
Firmware: 1.0.0
Integration: Home Assistant Matter over Thread (direct pairing)
Issue: Electrical Energy Measurement cluster increments while power is 0W and load is OFF.
Reproduction Steps
-
Load switched OFF (confirmed visually).
-
Power entity in HA reports
0.0 W. -
Measured energy delta over 10 minutes.
Energy readings:
-
Start: 70.40614 kWh
-
End: 70.41382 kWh
-
Delta: 0.00768 kWh in 10 minutes
This corresponds to: ~46 W implied load while load is actually off
So the Energy cluster is incrementing at the rate of a ~46W load while the Power cluster reports 0W.
Over 24 hours, the device accumulated 0.857 kWh (~35.7W average), which is inconsistent with the actual 14W nighttime-only load.
Expected Behavior
Energy should not increase while power is 0W and the load is OFF.
