[question] Aeon Labs Home Energy Meter G2 to much information

[haavardNO]

One of the devices I have added recently is a Home energy meter.
I have used this device in my previous HA application (Indigo for mac) and zwave2mqtt. On both platforms the sensors made sense. But when added to zwavejs2mqtt there is a lot of sensors that I have never seen before. Like previous values and delta time etc... I sort of just want the energy readings. When created in Home Assistant it creates so long names that it is difficult to make out what is what.

Is it supose to be like this, or is there something faulty with the way zwavejs2mqtt is reading it?

@haavardNO Could you show me the names you are getting? Have you tried to set a custom entity name? @billiaz

I get this with my Aeon plug, the previous value is required to store the value when you reset values (the button in your screenshot), the delta entities can just be hidden / disabled (either in the zwavejs side, or the Home Assistant side).

@robertsLando no I have set a name and location in the zwavejs2mqtt UI, and I have changed the name in HA afterwards. But it is pain to find the device that gives the correct value since there is so many. This metering device has one clamp. This generates 21 devices. The other metering device I use has 3 clamps, that device generates 36 devices. I guess I can tweak it to figure out what is what.

I think I need to configure a way to skeep discovery for some values. @billiaz I think that in case of meter CC some values should be skipped, then we could also provide a way to ignore the discovery of some specific values using the gateway values table

i found a nice way to do this. I will also add the pr here.
