Context
The WebSocket documentation currently needs to clearly distinguish the message types emitted by the Comwatt stream.
Observed behavior
A full-hour live capture showed:
FLOW messages: streamed device power measurements;STATE messages: streamed switch/state changes;- no
QUANTITY messages: energy quantities are not emitted by the WebSocket stream.
Energy data must therefore be obtained through the REST time-series endpoints. Integrations that need real-time energy must integrate streamed power and periodically reconcile it with the official REST QUANTITY/HOUR buckets.
Please update the client README and streaming documentation so users do not expect energy quantities to arrive through WebSocket messages.
