The real time between values in calculation

Hello,

i meassure my powermeter and read the total power consumption nearly every two minutes.
To calculate the real Wh value i use this query:

SELECT difference(mean(“value”)) *1000*12 FROM “MT174/Total_in” WHERE $timeFilter and value > 0 GROUP BY time(5m) fill(null)

I group it to 5 minutes because the two minutes readout is not exact. Multiply this by 12 → KWh and multiply by 1000 → Wh. All fine.
But sometimes the reading of values stumble somewhat. So i miss values up to 2 hours. In this case is the calculation wrong and the calculated value too high.

Is there a way to multiply it with the real time difference?
I hope my problem can be understood - i am not a native speaker and a novice with Grafana/Influx

best regards,
Mike

Welcome

What do you mean by "But sometimes the reading of values stumble somewhat. "

Hello,

The ISKRA MT174 electricity meter sometimes stops sending data for no reason. After some time (a few minutes to hours) the OBIS interface sends again :frowning:

best regards,
Mike
