I'm trying to create a custom meter in EnergyPlus to report demand by end use. For example I would like to create a meter to report the hourly Lights Electric Power OutputVariable to the *Meter.csv file. I think this is possible, but I'm not completely sure if it is, what the correct syntax is, or if there's another object I need (the documentation is rather sparse). Here's what I've specified in the IDF:

Meter:Custom,
  MeterCustom,             !- Name
  Electricity,             !- Fuel Type
  ,                       !- Key Name 1
  Lights Electric Power;  !- Output Variable or Meter Name 1

Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,
  METERCUSTOM,             !- Name
  Hourly;                  !- Reporting Frequency
