A few weeks ago I bought my first Shelly product being the Plus Plug S. I've integrated the plug in Home Assistant using the standard integration. I noticed that no power and energy readings are shown Home Assistant. So I used the API to see if that would produce the correct values. Unfortunately it doesn't. There is a load connected to the plug, it's clock is synchronized and voltage plus current is displayed correctly. I assume that since P=U*I and energy=P*t, the firmware of the device has to calculate the power and energy values.
The command http://IP address/rpc/Shelly.GetStatus produces the following output:

May I assume that "apower" corresponds with the power value in W?
That "aenergy" corresponds to the Wh of kWh?
Any idea why "apower" shows 0?
Any idea why "aenergy" is 0?
