Missing data after merge

Technical Questions
1

I have months (probably years) of data for a dehumidifier that was natively detected. Today I added a new KP115 smart plug and merged it with that data (“what’s plugged in?”). Everything seems to work but my data is gone.

The data is of more than passing interest to me - the dehumidifier seems to be short cycling (running 3-4 minutes, then shutting off for 8-9) and I want to improve efficiency buy setting it’s humidity target low and only giving it power for an hour at a time. It’s difficult to fix the problem without understanding the behavior.

So, where did the data go and will it eventually appear under the smart plug?

Thanks

@jtdouglas , the native detection data is hidden by the the “what’s plugged in”. I think you can get it back again by unchecking that detection in the “what’s plugged in” list, but that will exposed you to double counting. Unless you have multiple devices plugged into the smart plug though, the smart plug data is going to be more accurate. That’s why the native data disappears.
