Add ShowAs Power option for creating energy fields

[Thomas Witt]

Homey devices - like a Hue lightbulb - usually have two energy input fields: when on and when off.

Homey uses this value to compute the current energy consumption, taking in regard the status of the device. It’d be nice if those fields would work right out of the box.

These could be added as ShowAs Power option.

Hey Thomas,

I am not exactly sure what you want.

If you create an AVD without a ShowAs=Power field, you will get the default fields for this in the Device (real) settings:

Could you exmplain more/better what you want?

Hey @arie,

I created a sensor with a on off button and I only get a “Constant power usage (Watt)”, not “when off” and “when on”.

Turn on the checkbox for Create Real field and flowcards for the OnOff field
