Getting day/night usage and 3-phase usage from smart meter(P1)

Post by sater »

I just installed domoticz and reading my meter works. It shows current usage in Watts(positive or negative, I have solar panels) and the totals.

However, it only shows one total used, and one delivered. But my meter has four counters, since I have different day/night tariffs.
Is there a way to get these 4 usages somehow?

Also I have 3-phase power, and one of the things I might try to use Domoticz for is to see how much usage I have per phase. This can lead to decisions about when to charge the electric car. So usage per phase would help there too.

As a newbie I await the expected comments that I have not looked well enough through the options.

Furthermore I am a competent programmer, so if this does not exist I might be able to make it myself.

Interested too. For me It's a 1 phase.

It just would be interesting to set the:
day times
night times
weekend times

in the domoticz settings. Couldn't be so difficult.

Put the electricity device on the dashboard with the 'star'to see live the different meters that the p1 meter offers. The phases are combined and won't be read separately. Checking the log will also give you the 4 different meters, both for power and energy
You can't change day and night, the electricity company does it for you. If it was up to me, I would leave it on 'night' all the time. The p1 meter will deliver all your meters splitted for you, including gas meter and actual usage.

Thank you for the reply but I use the aeotec zw095 for monitoring my consumption.
It's a 1-fase setup.
My (not smart) electricity meter has a day/night counter but how to fix this in domoticz. The night usage always starts from 22pm till 7pm and every Saturday 00am til monday 7am.
Can you help me with a solution?

Thanks all. I found things out, newbie as I am.

So I have two incoming, and two outgoing power flows, and can see them all.
Different phases are not reported by the smart meter, for that you need extra hardware, which I will investigate.

One minor gripe, in the data table the four columns are left justified, which runs them into other data.
I think they should be right justified. *small bug*

I have created a dzvents script to split my gas usage into gas usage for hot water and for heating. In that case there is a trigger by a virtual switch (hot water, DHW or heating, CH).
In your case you can put the times in the script as well.

Wonderful!
Is it possible to share your script so I can modify it for my purpose?
I'm not a lua master but I understand the logics.

Many thanks in advance!

I think I will create a separate topic for that one, so more people can benefit from the original script itself.
