Notification Edge Trigger vs Level Trigger

In the notification trigger settings, how exactly does the level trigger behave? Is it that the level threshold condition must be true for the selected minimum interval? So if I select level trigger with 500W on phase A with a minimum interval of half an hour, does it mean that the notification triggers only, if the level is above 500W for half an hour? What if the Power goes below 500W in that time frame for a few minutes? Does it reset the minimum interval timer or does it take an average value of the power during the minimum interval period?

Same here.  Reading the manual, it says:

Level Trigger: The operation will be triggered when the uploaded data of the energy meter is greater or less than the preset threshold value.

Edge Trigger: The operation will be triggered when the uploaded data of the energy meter changes from greater than the threshold to less than the preset threshold value or vice versa. For example, the threshold is set to "greater than 10 ". This setting means the trigger will be implemented when the previous uploaded value is less than 10 and the next uploaded value is greater than 10.

Minimum interval: To balance the load of the cloud service, there is a minimum interval to prevent the system from triggering the operation frequently.

The minimum interval in "level trigger" mode is half an hour. The minimum interval in "edge trigger" mode is one minute.


I guessed it should work like this (in my case), with only 1 rule

"Solar production >2000W => level trigger 1 "

I hoped to see a setting here, e.g. 1h, meaning: it needs to be bigger than 2000 for more than 30min.

as soon as it goes below 2000 for more than half an hour, trigger would fall to 0 again.  meaning: the relay would be ON for at least an hour.

Howevere.... that 30min (or whatever) can't be entered.


However, I think I need 2 rules, one to set it ON, and one to set it OFF.


Edge trigger has a timespan, but is not applicable here, as it only looks to the previous value, no ?  (to be honest... I don't know how that one would work, I even don't get what the minimum time has as effect on the output - manual is a bit unclear.  An example would be nice to see there)


Hoping for a more detailed explanation here !
