The
offset
profile addresses addition and subtraction, but there are use cases for division and multiplication that should be addressed by a complementary system profile.Some use cases can be addressed with UoM where the items use SI units and devices report in factors of 10 different from desired (such as a devices reporting tenths of Volts so specifying
unit="dV"
solves that). However other use cases cannot be addressed, such as reporting tenths of kWh but there is no suitable SI unit, or when there is no suitable UoM concept for the data.See #3538 for further discussion. I can add other doc and UI PRs with some guidance. Thanks!
