Hi all, I have a non-smart meter on a remote location which I manually read out every few weeks. Like the title says, I would like to manually enter data into a virtual energy device so I can roughly track how much energy I am using. I understand this won't be precise, but all I really care about is ...

For anyone also having the 'error loading module 'ssl .https' error, try installing the lua-sec package. This solved it for me on a fresh 64-bit Ubuntu Server 22.04 install.

Update: I also tested this with a clean Ubuntu 20.04 install, and I have the same issues.

@jvdz do you mind if I send you a PM to troubleshoot this further?

Yep, I did. I used the command you gave earlier, double checking if I got the correct branch.

The only things I changed (apart from the config variables) is the home dir, from 'pi' to my actual username.

Not sure if it is related, but can the libssl version I needed for Domoticz cause this error?

Hi all, I am trying to install this bot on a Ubuntu Server 22.04 install. I installed lua-json and lua-socket, but it complains that '/usr/bin/lua is not found'. When installing lua.5.2 this error disappears, but I get another error: module 'ssl.https' not found'. This is the same error I got a few ...

Hi FireWizzard,

I think Node-RED would be the 'cleanest' since I already have it running on my Raspberry Pi, especially if you think we can get it working.

Can I PM you to discuss it further (in Dutch)?

Looks like I have to temporarily store the output somewhere else, in order for Domoticz to not pick up the wrong signal, right? I tried your example command, replacing the <rawmessage> with /dev/ttyUSB0 (which is where the output gets stored). Running it before/after my script 'dumps' the original ...

Hi FireWizzard, The IR-USB converter does not produce any data without the commands in my script 'asking' the Iskra to send the data. I do not have Node Red running on the VM I am testing this on, but I can off course install it. All I am really interested right now is in the total consumed and ...

Hi FireWizzard, 1) I have a Iskra digital meter which I can readout using a IR-USB converter. I put the commands sent earlier (see above) in a script and schedule it via crontab. When I execute the script, it produces the output as sent above in the /dev/ttyUSB0 interface. 2) Not sure what you mean ...

After some more digging, it seems that my converter gives the outputs in another format than Domoticz tried to read it. I downloaded the source code and re-built Domoticz with the values changed according to my output, but Domoticz still seems to be unable to read it correctly. This time, it even ...

I do not have much knowledge of scripting and stuff like this, but my output seems to be missing some of the parameters normally included with the response of a smart meter. Is that a problem, or does Domoticz ignore those? Another difference that might be a problem is that my output also includes ...

Thank you for your answer! I have tried adding the device in Domoticz, but the readings are not right at all. I only see a value of 510.000 without any other data. Here are the lines of code I am using in a scheduled script to pull the data: stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 300 -parodd cs7 -cstopb parenb -ixoff ...

Hi all, I have a digital (not smart) meter which I can read out via a IR adapter. I have a few lines of code that send the output to /dev/ttyUSB0. Unfortunately, it has a bunch of other data along with it, so I can't just convert it to a variable and use the API. In the output, I have added the ...

I meant to use the word 'active' ;) Is it even worth upgrading to Buster, since I already have a working install? I mean sooner or later I will need to, but are most of the bugs worked out? I'll just place back me old SD card for now. One question that I do ave, however, is how power sensors can be ...

I know. I just tried re-installing them to see if that changes anything. So this is the case: I was running Buster 32-bit. Decided I wanted to upgrade to a newer release, and wy not also get the 64-bit version, for a bit of future proofing, since I have a PI4. Before upgrading, I had the bot running ...

OK... Seems like it is set to require those files instead of being optional, judging by the last part of the dtb.log file. Do you know of other things I can try? Already tried removing those packages with apt purge and re-installing them, that also did not work.

Okay, so how can I proceed installing this? I think I've tried pretty much everything I can?

Yes, I ran both the apt install commands listed on the github page. I also tried rebooting, also did not work...

Okay. The contents of dtgbot.log are: ### Initialialisation process Failed: Error-->/home/pi/dtgbot/dtgbot.lua:44: module 'ssl.https' not found: no field package.preload['ssl.https'] no file '/home/pi/dtgbot/ssl/https.lua' no file '/home/pi/dtgbot/ssl/https.cfg' no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/ssl ...

I ran that command, offcourse removing the old folder before running it, and now the log gives me a diffrent error: /usr/bin/lua5.2: /home/pi/dtgbot/dtgbot.lua:97: Terminate DTGBOT as the initialisation failed, which frst needs to be fixed. stack traceback: [C]: in function 'error' /home/pi/dtgbot ...
