Re: INA219 Formula question
When I look at the plug in, it looks like the Current is divided by 1000 to give amps. I think this has a limit of 2A so I am not sure why it is reporting in A rather than mA. I have to see if changing that fixes it. I think there are 2 Issues, 1) the formula takes it back to 2 decimals and 2) the p...

You have to change them for the type of sensor you want. Reading the Domoticz instructions and the above should be good.
