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.
