Aeon Labs HEM

[pfer10]

Just wanted to say Domoticz is really nice. I have tried multiple home automation software and they were always missing "something". I tried Domoticz on my Raspberry Pi and was impressed how easy it was to get up and going. Unfortunately I tried to add a second Aeon Labs a month or so later and the Pi never would boot after the shutdown. Luckily I was able to get the database off the SD card. I wanted to move Domoticz to my Ubuntu server anyway for permanent use so this forced the issue.

I have one Aeon Labs Home Energy Monitor updating in Domoticz as a power meter and energy meter. I decided to get the cheaper HEM V1 to monitor 2 circuits away from the main house meter. If I set the #101 configuration to 12 it works great just like my whole house meter. Setting 12 combines the 2 current clamps and is meant for whole house power (2 120volt legs in the US). I want to look at the two clamps individually. So I set #101 to 768. 12 sends kWh and watts for the whole HEM. 768 is suppose to send watts for clamp 1 and watts for clamp 2. See below:



When I set the value to 768 I see the messages from Node 3 and the two clamps which I assume are labeled as endpoint 1 and endpoint 2.

Code: Select all

I noticed the data that is received is 0x01, 0x18, 0x00, 0x04 .... for the two endpoints. If you look what node 2 sends (the whole house meter) it sends 0x01, 0x14, 0x00, 0x04..... The 0x014 message seems to get translated fine to 555.891 watts as you can see the "report" gets generated. The 0x18 message from Node 3 doesn't for some reason. Some of the other home automation software seemed to monitor both current clamps if I remember right.

Does this report that is generated from Node 2 come from openZWave or Domoticz? Does anyone know how to decode the raw bytes into something readable so I can verify that I am getting the right data back from the clamps? Endpoint 1 (clamp 1) should read 22 watts at certain times and Endpoint 2 (clamp 2) should read 0 watts.

I know this is an older post, but I just tried to put the Aeonlabs V1 model into my system and have had a devil of a time getting it to give me real data. I tried to use the setting you had and nothing. Any words of wisdom on getting this thing to work well with Domoticz and a Z-stick?

I am also in the same boat. Joined this forum to ask for help. See my post today.
