A Shelly reports one energy figure — aenergy.total, a lifetime counter in Wh
that never resets. Bambuddy had a single REST energy field and filed whatever
it found under "today", so the value never reset at midnight, and Yesterday
and Total stayed at zero: get_energy() simply never set those keys.
With `total` unpopulated, the hourly snapshot recorder skipped the plug, so
the Statistics page's energy figure was zero as well, not just the Settings
card.
Split the REST energy config in two: rest_energy_path still means "used
today", rest_energy_total_path means "lifetime counter". A Shelly has only
the latter; a Tasmota behind a REST bridge has both; sharing a URL costs one
fetch, not two.
Then derive Today and Yesterday from that counter using the snapshots we were
already taking: today = counter now - counter at the last local midnight;
yesterday = the gap between the two previous midnights. Local midnight, not
UTC — a UTC boundary rolls Today over at 02:00 in Berlin. The snapshot loop
now ticks on the local hour so a reading lands on the boundary instead of up
to an hour early. A counter that goes backwards (factory reset) reports
nothing rather than a negative.
Collateral, found while verifying on both engines: the smart-plug DateTime
columns are naive UTC but the code wrote aware datetimes into them. SQLite
drops the offset; asyncpg raises DataError. So on Postgres every snapshot
capture raised inside the loop's except, and every status poll raised on
last_checked — the whole subsystem was dead on the database we recommend for
multi-printer installs. All plug timestamps are naive UTC now.
Existing REST users with a cumulative path in the today field must move it to
the new lifetime field; the form and wiki now name which counter each wants.
REST/Webhook smart plugs can now fetch power and energy data from
individual URLs instead of requiring all values in a single status
response. Each value falls back to the shared Status URL when no
separate URL is set, preserving backward compatibility. Added power
and energy multipliers for unit conversion (e.g. 0.001 for Wh→kWh).
