CcBasicTariffInfo (basicTariffInfo) is a child container of a ZWaveDevice object that supports the Basic Tarriff Information command class. It is for use with a single-element or dual-element meter when used with import rates (electricity received
from grid) only.
Its read-only properties reflect the meter configuration and its current rate and consumption values.
-
Is Dual — If true indicates a dual-element meter, otherwise (false) is a single-element meter.
-
Total Number Import Rates — The number of import rates E1 (and E2) supported by the meter. Value range is 1 - 8.
-
Element1 Current Rate In Use— Which import rate is currently in use.
-
Element1 Rate Consumption — Consumption rate for element 1, with units in W-hr.
-
Time Next Rate — Indicates the time (hh:mm:sec) that the rate is due to change on element 1. It may also indicate “not used”.
-
Element2 Current Rate In Use — Which import rate is currently in use.
-
Element2 Rate Consumption — Consumption rate for element 2, with units in W-hr.
In addition, one or two Proxy points are added.
If the device supports the Basic Tariff Information command class, one or two proxy points are added to its ZWaveDevice’s Points container, with default names as follows:
-
rateConsumption
NumericPoint that provides energy consumption in Watt-hours (W-hr).
-
rateConsumption2
(Only if a dual-element meter) NumericPoint for energy consumption in Watt-hours (W-hr).
