Dear PiFace users, As mentioned the issue is fixed, but unfortunately you all will need to wait some time longer for the fix to be available in the repo. It turns out that there is a Pi 1 and Pi 2 platform dependency which complicates the build process. I now have GIT access, and will look at this ...

My pleasure.
No, the changes are not available thru GIT yet, as I lost my commit rights in the move from SVN to GIT.
So I mailed my changes to gizmocuz and asked him to merge them.
I have also asked him to post in this topic when he has merged them into the trunk.

Some additional remarks: I am getting a lot of questions / remarks regarding the fact the the Piface does not register all input changes (for instance a door bell button), and that the Piface is slow to react. Part of this is due to the nature of the PiFace implementation, it reads the input pins ...

Dear Piface users, I have been getting some PM's and news during the last few months regarding the fact that the Piface / counters were not working any longer. Sorry for the delay but I had little time during the past few months, and lacked some vital resources to investigate and debug this issue ...

I refresh my question :) Could you please tell me guys what do to with this S0+ port of Smartmeter and GDN of PiFace ? My base understanding from this schematic is to connect these two ports (S0+ and GND) to external +12 power supply (+ and -) but I just want to ask first to avoid destrying ...

Ow my piface config looks like this: piface.0.input.0.enabled=true piface.0.input.0.pin_type=rising piface.0.input.0.count_enabled=false piface.0.input.0.count_update_interval_sec=1 First of all, forget all about your Python script, as domoticz will handle the PiFace hardware by it self, so only ...

Hi everybody, During an event, I would like to reset my water counter value. Hi Vincent, I just read your question, although my reply is a bit late, its better then none ;) What you want is not possible, as the meters are stored in the domoticz database, as a upcounting counter. This means that the ...

Meterkast_800.JPG Hi, I have the following setup: (see pictures below) Witte groep: (Section of 3 electricity groups), monitored with one S0 meter Blauwe groep: (Section of 3 electricity groups), monitored with one S0 meter Groene groep: (Section of 3 electricity groups), monitored with one S0 ...

The last image

Here are the screenshots of of one of my S0 meters.
It does not look so fancy as the smartmeter keptenkurk showed you, but is still very usefull.

Best Regards,

Robin

Hi, Regarding the PiFace support in domoticz, it does not use WiringPi, but a custom driver (I developed it). I use the PiFace to read 4 S0 pulse meters, and some digital inputs. However please be aware that the Piface driver runs in user space, so it can not read high frequency counters, a few (5-6 ...

Hi, What you are describing is basically how an S0 meter works. 1 pulse = a certain amount of energy, most common for S0 = 1 pulse = 1 watt. In Domoticz you have settings for certain types, like Energy, nr of pulse / kwh, Water nr of pulses per m3 etc. so you can configure the pulse count your need ...

Hi Paul,

Good to read that you isolated the problem.
It appears that the P1 corrupts the PiFace port name.
Maybe due to the fact that it was not assigned ? (will have a look)

Best Regards,

Robin

Hi Paul, Strange, the PiFace does not use any of the tty ports, USB or otherwise.. as it uses the SPI interface (/dev/spidev0.0). The domoticz is not aware of this port as it uses a different method of access, and should report unkown (like the BMP085 which uses I2C). Why domoticz is reporting the ...

The PiFace driver is not capable of supporting a 1 wire network on one of its I/O pins, so hooking up a ds1820 will not work, as its timing is not consistent enough. You should be able to hook it up to the Pi I/O lines (did you purchase the RPI1 for sheepwalk ?) if so your should be able to directly ...

Hi Titanothere, I received the amplifiers that I ordered on eBay yesterday, and tested with them today. I first tried a 3W stereo amplifier, although the sound quality was better than my breadboard experiment, the volume was not much better. The 3W amplifier: http://www.lctech-inc.com/Hardware ...

Hi Piotr,

Yesterday I received some stuff I ordered (along time ago) in China, including a BMP085 sensor.
I hooked it up to my domoticz setup, and as predicted... it works

Best Regards,

Robin

Hi Alex, Thank you very much for your input. It clears up a lot. The info you provided, should help everyone alot to implement a teleinfo <-> domoticz link. As I noticed that more people are interested in hooking up the teleinfo to domoticz, and you already have a functional python script, maybe you ...

Ni RobinS, Teleinfo is a interface, by which your can receive several informations regarding your eletricity subscribtion. You can have the instataneous power usage, the overall consumtion your allowed to depending of your substitution 6/9/12/15/18/36 KVA), The actual tarif (full rate = heure ...

Two questions regarding the piface: - Can i still use my BMP085 sensor with the piface installed ? Thanks ! That's not that easy. You have to solder the wires of the bmp085 to the piface interface. Actually that greatly depends on the BMP085 solution, as there are numerous boards available the ...
