Massive energy consumption spikes in energy monitoring not matching power graph
Hi TP-Link Support,
I'm using a P304M to monitor the power of a few desktop PCs. Most of the time the data looks reasonably correct, but every week or so I get a massive spike of energy consumption that is clearly incorrect (over 100 kWH power consumption in an hour on a single socket used by a single desktop tower that does not draw more than 500W) that does not match what is shown in the 24 hour/7 day power graph.
For example, just today on 4th October I see a 132.5 kWh spike that is way beyond the norm.
Daily Energy Graph for 4th/3rd October as comparison: It is showing a single 132 kWH consumption within a single hour between 2-3AM.
Power Graph (24 hour / 7 days). It is clear within 2-3AM of 4th Oct, power draw did not exceed 500W.
This affects all the sockets that have other lower power components connected such as monitors/speakers and each of them occasionally spikes way beyond the expected use. Is there any way to correct this error as it makes the data a lot harder to interpret when I have to manually cull some values every few days, and the accurate power graph is not saved after 7 days.
I am also getting the same with my new P304M (Firmware: 1.0.3 Build 240605 Rel.091502).
I have my 3D printer plugged into it, normally uses around 0.1kwh. But the two days I've had it running, at exactly the same time 17:00-18:00, it shows huge spikes of up to 1.465kwh. Before using the P304M, I had my printer plugged into a P110M and never had any spikes like that.
