[BUG] Plugin 102 (PZEM) Energy reset will reset energy one time and at each board reboot

[iz8mbw]

Hello.
I noticed that if I reset the Energy of the PZEM:

it works OK since it reset the Energy value.
But if I reboot the board it will go reset the Energy value (again), if reboot again it will reset the Energy value again and so on.

To avoid it, after the first Energy reset, I must click on "Submit" to force again the "PZEM Mode" to Read_value.

In other words, when you reset the Energy value

and click "Submit" the Energy value is resetted and the web page ruterned (after the reset) is automatically changed to "Read_value." but if you reboot the board the Energy value is resetted again and resetted at every board reboot.

Isn't there a command to reset the value?

To be honest, I do think this is a design oversight as it makes no sense to reset it each time the plugin is started.

Yes, you can reset via editing the Device (so from the Web page like I did and disovered the issue) or you can reset via HTTP GET to http://espeasyip/control?cmd=resetenergy,PZEM address

To be honest, I do think this is a design oversight as it makes no sense to reset it each time the plugin is started.

Indeed, this is the bug.

Feels like a bug, looking at the code, as during PLUGIN_INIT the mode is reset to Reading mode after executing the Reset, but it's never saved...
But there are other things to observe(fix?) there, as the 'multi-instance' implementation isn't very multi-instance, AFAICS.

That's because it is planned for a huge overhaul when I implement the Modbus handler/manager to share all modbus calls from all modbus plugins
