Nobody an idea on what can be the problem of the isrcounter not stating?

You can debug into more detail by using 'sudo bash -x /etc/init.d/isrcounter status'

Does the daemon executable exist ? Check that what is in NAME=isr.... in the init script exists in your PATH. Mine is NAME=isrcounter1 and exists in /usr/local/bin/isrcounter1

"NAME=isrcounter" and exists in "/usr/local/bin/isrcounter" and "/usr/local/bin" does exists in PATH.
'sudo bash -x /etc/init.d/isrcounter status' gives.

Sorry to kick this old threat but I got the same error as roblom, can start the compiled script fine, but won't be able to use the start/stop script.

Ok will setup demo on separate raspberry to see what is wrong. Currently II don't have access to my hardware. Really interested what is going wrong here.

I started from scratch today.
Can you guys confirm you modified the script as described in this thread http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... =40#p30924?

From:

Code: Select all

USERNAME=pi

Gives me:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter start
pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter status
[FAIL] isrcounter1 is not running ... failed!

and change that line to

Code: Select all

USERNAME=root

Now gives me the desired result:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter start
pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter status
[ ok ] isrcounter1 is running.
pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter stop
pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/watermeter $ sudo /etc/init.d/isrcounter status
[FAIL] isrcounter1 is not running ... failed!

Hello All
I implement the solution that is mentioned in this topic to record the pulses from one meter Landis + Gyr E650.
Everything works well and the measurements are very good.
The only problem I have is when the raspberry does restart, which will record a very large number of units and bringing the number of Kwhs be far from reality.
If the raspberry works continuously without any interruption everything is correct.
The same happens if I run the following command...and as you will see the second entry has a huge number of pulses ..

root@raspberrypi:~# sudo /usr/local/bin/isrcounter /var/run/shm/isrcounter
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709236: 0
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709335: 16709236
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709418: 99
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709511: 83
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709591: 93
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709684: 80
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709771: 93
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709861: 87
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16709950: 90
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16710045: 89
Waiting ... Done. counter: 16710129: 95

Is there a solution to deal with this problem .. ??
Thanks in advance
George

Hi George

You mention the isrcounter script just as an example right? Not using this script for landis meter right?

I assume domoticz takes care of your energy values via a /dev/ttyUSBx?

Posted: **Monday 16 November 2015 10:36**

Hi sincze

I use the script for real measurements and not for an example..
From the meter Landis + Gyr get pulses and count through the GPIO 23 with isrcounter.
Everything works fine except if you close the power abruptly from the raspberry or if I give the command..
isrcounter status
Waiting ... Done. counter: 32365: 0
Waiting ... Done. counter: 32371: 32367
Waiting ... Done. counter: 32457: 9

As you see on my second line adds a very large number of units..
Thank you
George

Hi all,

i have my TCRT5000 hooked up to my Raspberry GPIO and with GPIO readall i can see when the disc from my watermeter passes by (showing 1 or 0)
I have made a contact in Domoticz that show the status also. But now i'm stuck. Where do i go from there.
How do i get the watermeter to count in my utility view? What steps do i have to go over?

Did you find this link?? Isrcounter?

LoL in a topic i started myself a loooooong time ago,

thank you sincze.
I asume you mean the isrcounter.zip ?

Can you explain to me wich steps i have to take with it? (i'm not very well at these things.)
put it in a file, how do i adjust for my GPIO pin? etc. Whats self explaining for someone who has done these things over and over can be very challenging for the unexperienced. Thank you for your effort and patience.

Best regards,
Martin

You are right the information is all over the forum let met try to find the individual posts and show it to you it works excellent

seems I have to thank to u for the idea. These are my connections.

Hi Sincze,

thank you very much. I was at that same topic, but got stuck on step 3 ( i think i got step 2 ok)

Step 3: The interrupt handler is adapted from the wiringPi samples. Under wiringPi/examples, add the C program isrcounter1.c. I also added an output for a feedback LED in series with a current-limiting resistor. The LED output changes every other pulse received. Adjust pin numbers as needed in the C program, then make isrcounter1. Copy the compiled code to /usr/local/bin/isrcounter1. Source code can be downloaded from http://hansrune.net/domo/isrcounter1.c

Step 4: Add a system startup / service script to /etc/init.d/isrcounter. You can download my version from http://hansrune.net/domo/isrcounter

Step 5: Wire your input signal, and optionally the feedback output

Step 6: Under domoticz application settings, adjust the number of pulses and costs per unit of consumption

Mayby you can tell me the steps that are involved in step 3?

Posted: **Tuesday 03 January 2017 19:20**

As long as you put my compiled isrcounter in the /usr/local/bin directory and have it attached as in my screenshot that is sufficient for step 3

Hi Sincze,

the compiled isrcounter. Is this the right file: download/file.php?id=3097 ?
In the zip i see a txt file. Do i copy the contents into a file called isrcounter in the /usr/local/bin directory? I'm not quite sure what i have to do with the txt file. (i'm using a windows pc and putty)

As you can see, i'm lacking some basic skills on the software side off things......

Update:
I copied the contents of the txt file into a file called isrcounter.c with nano
then i did: gcc -o isrcounter isrcounter.c -lwiringPi
When i run:
isrcounter1 /var/run/shm/isrcounter1
i get:
Waiting ... Waiting ... Waiting ... Done. counter: 18639: 1
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18707: 1
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18732: 83
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18734: 10
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18761: 2
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18797: 47
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18803: 16
Waiting ... Done. counter: 18805: 6

And my watermeter is finally showing some values. They suck

But at least i have a feeling i'n going in the right direction.

Few thing to do:
- See if the counting starts automatically
- Change the value of the meter to the actual values
- and I need to figure out where all those pulses are coming from (maybe a need to add a pull up/down resistor on the GPIO? Thought i didn't need one with the TCRT5000 since it's output is digital i/o) because now it's counting way to many.

Thanks for the great work on it and your kind support!

Let me check the instructions tomorrow. The initial meter value you have to set in a temp file:) that isrcounter is using the final file is the file domoticz reads. I don't use a resistor so don't worry we will get it running. Mine has been for over 2 years and same installation with 4 neighbours. Hahaha.

Hi sincze,

i don't worry at all, your are very kind and patient, so i'm confident we will get it going right

I also want to document the steps i'm making for myself. Now i'm running on a rpi 1b v2 with domoticz 2.2826 that is a bit outdated, but it's working. I've got a Rpi3 lying here i want to use with the new domoticz version and i have to do the steps all over again.

I noticed no increase on my watermeter values since last evening, so i think it's not starting automatically.

echo 2142454 > /var/run/shm/isrcounter1

Step 5b: Set inital value in domoticz meter (if not okay)

Code: Select all

http://<YOUR_IP_HERE>:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=<YOUR_IDX_HERE&nvalue=0&svalue=<YOUR_METER_VALUE_HERE>

#Advanced settings.... Have monit monitor your watermeter pid file.

Install Monit

Code: Select all

	sudo apt-get install monit
	sudo monit

Create the Watermeter Config file watermeter.conf in /etc/monit/conf.d directory

Wow sincze,

that looks fabulous! A complete howto!
I will try this asap and let you know. The misses wants some quality time this week, so i don't know if i can get around to it this week already.
