How Can mcsMQTT Pull Data Into HomeSeer Energy?

[Michael McSharry]

Any MQTT device can be mapped into HS device and option exists in mcsMQTT select the device value to be also stored in the HS Energy database. Take a look in mcsMQTT user manual and search for keyword such as energy and it will show the setting to select it on the MQTT Page, Edit Tab. I do not know how familiar you are with mcsMQTT so I do not know the level of guidance you need at this point. Ask again if you need more help with it.

I have a whole house energy monitor that can measure the energy being used at any given time. These values are published to a mosquito MQTT broker. How can I use something like mcsMQTT to pull these energy values into HS4's Energy DB? My goes is to be able to use the graphs in: HS4's "/energy.html". I notice that certain ZWave plug in switches that report energy use automatically get pulled into HS4's Energy DB, how can I add my own non-ZWave values?

Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction.
