How do I use the Energy widget?

To make the consumption values appear in the Energy widget in Zipabox, you need to create virtual sensors for the metered data and then map these sensors to the Energy widget. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Log in to your Zipabox account and go to the "Virtual Sensors" tab.
2. Click on "Create Virtual Sensor" and select "Meter" as the sensor type.
3. Enter a name for the sensor and select the appropriate unit of measurement (e.g. amps, volts, watts, etc.).
4. In the "Data Sources" section, select the switch that meters the current and enter the appropriate channel number.
5. Click on "Save" to create the virtual sensor.

Once you have created the virtual sensor, you can map it to the Energy widget by following these steps:

1. Go to the "Widgets" tab and select the Energy widget.
2. Click on the "Settings" icon in the top-right corner of the widget.
3. In the "Data Sources" section, click on "Add Data Source".
4. Select the virtual sensor you created earlier from the list of available sensors.
5. Click on "Save" to map the virtual sensor to the Energy widget.

Once you have mapped the virtual sensor to the Energy widget, you should be able to see the consumption values graphed or charted in the widget. If the drop-down box for the values to be graphed or charted is still blank, make sure that you have selected the correct virtual sensor and that it is properly configured with the metering switch.
