Correction of power factor for Inspelning Plug
In comparison with my Tasmota plugs, I wanted to see, if the Inspelning Plug has an adequate performance. Thus, I took a 60W light bulb and measured V, A, and W simultanously. When comparing V*A result with W, there was a slight difference, which indicates, that the Power Factor is not equal to 1. I do not see a way, to adjust the Power Factor, similar to Tasmota plugs, for the Inspelning Plug. This would be important, when the Inspeling Plug is used in reverse mode for input measurement from a mini PV panel. In this case, Dirigera only gives values for Volt, Amps, and kWh. Watts stay at zero, unfortunately. In order to calculate Watts from Volts and Amps, a correct Power Factor is needed. Otherwise, these values are slightly wrong. Or is there a way, to read out the Watts, although Dirigera reports the data as Zero? Then, we simply use the build in Power Factor.
