Domoticz

This topic describes to connect the cheap DDS238-1 S0 pulse energy meter (without the RS485 that is the DDS238-1ZN) direct to the raspberry GPIO
I could not find a topic for the simple S0 energy meter

Aliexpress https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/5-32-A-2 ... 0.0.SuQ44h
or any other cheap counter. This counter has 1000 pulses, if u use a different one recalculate the power use

connections
Port 22 (plus) of the DDS238 is connected to Raspberry 5v (pin 2 or 4)
Port 20 (minus) of the DDS238 is connected to Raspberry GPIO-13 (pin 33)

Function of the script
This script sends the counter and the power
The script reads from domoticz the last value of the meter, if this is a first start, take a preset

Every pulse is 1/1000 Kw = 1 Watt
Calculate the time between the last puls and the current one.
The energy used over one pulse = 1/time_diff * 3600 seconds

If the time between 2 pulses is 4.08 seconds the used power is 1/4.08 * 3600 = 882 W/H over the period of 4 seconds
Debugline --2017-06-07 19:12:33.264379 power 890.8 W/H in 4.041127 seconds

This value is send to Domoticz directly in a python script that calls a json line to 2 virtual switches (energy actual/counter) in 'from device' mode

I made a divider so the interface is only sending every 5 pulses (0.005 kWh)
The counter is send to a logfile every 100 pulses (0.1 kWh) in my case +/- 12 kWh / day = 120 lines a day

Why not using Domoticz with the S0-interface connected as pulse-counter for energy?
Search in Domoticz' wiki for implementations.
You don't mention, but for good operation of the S0-interface, the read-out of pin22 of the kWh-meter is OK, but don't forget the pull-up resistor between pin22 and the raspberry's 3V3-power supply.

I rewrote the code, I wanted not only the counter but also the current power
At startup i read the last value from domoticz

The code puts a pullup resistor in
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(13, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_DOWN)

Could you share your most recent code please?

Personally I would never use a Chinese power meter in my fusebox.
If you check locally, approved ones are not even that expensive (<30 Euro).
Remember you need to follow regulations if you are messing inside the fusebox.

Hello
I want to go with a counter to 2000 pulses.
which parameter should we change?

thank you in advance

P.S. I am French, sorry for the translation

Hi, I am new user with Domoticz and I would like also to count pulses from energy meter. Actually I have 4 energy meters which are counting pulses 800-1000 pulses/kWh.

What would be best way to add these readings to Domoticz? What hardware I should be using, I have to read pulses from LED on one meter, but three other have S0 output.

I have Raspberry PI 3 on my platform and I am measuring temperatures with DS1820 on 1-wire net.

Hi fozzyg,

Thank you very much for this post. I used your code and it worked out of the box

Very handy way to measure all kinds of input via this 'cheap' meter.
Thanks again for sharing!

Paul.

Is it possible to use this code to count pulses 800-2000 /kwh with 1-wire DS2423 counter?
I bought counter from here: https://tm3d.de/shop/kategorien/bausaetze

Problem is that Domoticz can see all four counters , but on my kWh meters outputs are 800-2000 pulses/kWh s how can I read all those in Domoticz?

Hello,

Thanks for you code,

i am trying to get ik work but i have a small problem.
the value of the watts is arren't the right one.
he gives me a number like 215144 Watts whit no dots.
i hope you can help me.

the kwh meter that i use is the SDM120DB with S0

Posted: **Saturday 18 December 2021 13:16**

Hello,

I try to read the S0 domoticz PI4.
My setup is a litle bit different I use a Pulgwise UEC80-4D instead of the DDS238-1. The used input is GPIO25

My isseu is the next one:
The pi doesn't count the S0 puls. So I check the hardware with my oscilloscoop there is a puls 3v3..0V and is 50ms long.
My concluision is the hardware works.

The questions is
1. how can the PI4 count this puls,
2. is there a setting for it put a interrupt on this?

Any post is welcome

Regards Sjuul
