Live Export Data? - Home Mini

[owenashurst]

Hi,

I recently got my Export Tariff the other day and finally started showing yesterday on my account. I have a Home Mini also for tracking my live usage.

I've noticed in HA my Export meter has been added as a third device (Import Electric, Export Electric and Gas). In the export meter I can see I have the following entities:

I've noticed however, there is no current export usage. Only previous accumulative usage and cost.

I understand from another thread that you don't have an export tariff @BottlecapDave, however I'm happy to invoke the API which you think it would be in if so. I've tried the GraphQL API, however I'm unsure where to get my deviceId from for the following query:

query {
	smartMeterTelemetry(
    deviceId: ""
	) {
    readAt
    consumption
		consumptionDelta
    demand
	}
}

EDIT: I found my deviceId by enabling debugging on the Octopus Addon in HA. With that I can see the consumption is either positive when importing and negative when exporting. I'm guessing this means that Octopus's API doesn't have any up to date information on exporting 😢

Output from the above GraphQL query:

{
    "data": {
        "smartMeterTelemetry": [
            {
                "readAt": "2024-06-30T14:39:06+00:00",
                "consumption": "7144982",
                "consumptionDelta": null,
                "demand": "-101"
            }
        ]
    }
}

It's worth noting the deviceId is the same within both the smartImportElectricityMeter and smartExportElectricityMeter objects - which makes sense since it's a SMETS2 meter that records both importing/exporting.

Thanks,
Owen

Hello. I'm afraid your findings is correct, OE doesn't provide export information via the Home Mini. I specify this in the docs of the various entities, but will also add to the other areas the Home Mini is mentioned.
