Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

I've still not had chance with this! Any recommendations on a cheap reliable 2.5amp plus supply. I've found one for £6 but with £3 postage!

Thanks

Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

bump, I've still not got anywhere with this! Any quick tips.

My plan tomorrow is to make a completely fresh build on a different flash and try that in case that gets me anywhere,

Re: Current clamp measurement with RaspberryPI Domoticz

I'd also be interested. When I get it sorted it Domoticz will know what my solar panels are generating and what my electricity meter is drawing from the grid but it will have no way of telling what electricity is being consumed by the house. For example if the panels are generating 1kW and the meter ...

Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

I've been on holiday but have come back and am still struggling here! I've restarted Domoticz (my plan is to automatically halt the Pi then turn it off via a timer switch overnight) that seems to happen fine via a cron job (run from Root). Given at present I'm not using Domoticz overnight Is this ...

Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

I'm starting to think that after power down the zwave network needs to be reset? You can do this via the Web interface but is it possible via shell? I'm thinking if so run it via a chron tab every morning.

Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

Hmm I'm starting to realise z wave networks don't seem to be able to cope with the controller reseting since my power meter has now stopped working. If this is the case I find it most disappointing that the controller needs to be running all the time.

Re: Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

Sorry I had issues logging in yesterday!

I unplugged it to move it to it's new location. Do you think ZWave will manage approx 15 m and through 3 walls? I will try removing the non working node tonight then try again. I suspect it might not accept the node since it thinks it's already got it.

Newbie issue with ZWave on Pi

I've managed to get Domoticz to see my solar edge inverter power generated but am now struggling with Z-Wave devices! I have a 'ZMEEUZB1' USB Z-Wave transceiver, last night I managed to get this to find and install my TZ69E power meter socket and it worked to control it (but the measurement didn't ...

Re: Beginer use for solar monitoring (Solar Edge)

Apologies for not responding about this! I've now got the API key. I failed to get it working properly with the script above (it managed to update '/domoticz/scripts/data.xml' ok via chron but the data did not seem to update on the virtual meter I set up). Then looking at it I found 'SolarEdge via ...

Re: Beginer use for solar monitoring (Solar Edge)

Hmm I've tried pasting that code into a clean file (and running it as root) but no joy!

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~/tmp$ sudo python solarn.py
  File "solarn.py", line 28
    print (sys.version)
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
Sorry hopefully it's something simple I'm doing wrong!

Re: Beginer use for solar monitoring (Solar Edge)

Thanks, do you know for sure if that still works without going via the replacing monitoring.solaredge.com with Domotocz approach? I got distracted, needed to install an editor easier than vi, did a package upgrade and it's currently on ones beggining m (after running for an hour).

Beginer use for solar monitoring (Solar Edge)

Apologies if this is a 'noob' question but I was recommended Domoticz by a colleague and it seems good so far. I have a zwave dongle and logger for my supply meter on order but have I've got the install working on my Raspberry Pi. I have a Solar Edge SE4000 inverter. I do currently use the solaredge ...
