I have many inputs that I want to sum together into a "combined" input

Ok, I’ve managed to answer this for myself so thought I would share it here…

Instead of trying to re-convert the combined figure to kWh, I’ve taken the approach of resetting the output value to 0 and then summing the existing kWh feeds, this seems to work as expected and matched the virtual figure, meaning I can ditch the virtuals and use the applications and have more flexibility with the feed data.
