Hi,

Hi,

You have read profile genetic. Profile generic is historical data and you need to read the register. The register shows the current value.

Read association view and try to find Active power. Then you need to read it. Because your meter is using Short Name referencing, I can't know the short name that you need to use.

I'll remove the trace because it doesn't spring any value for this and makes it harder to read.

BR,
Mikko
