Interfacing Itron Energy Meter through MBus. Which device to use in Domoticz for compact display ??
Posted: Saturday 19 October 2019 10:15
Hello,
I want to add to my Domoticz energy meter Itron Calorimeter Actaris Echo II, CF51 or CF55 to measure the energy generated by my heat pump and thus be able to monitor temperatures, flow and especially control the performance/yield of the whole set.
For electrical interface, I do not have any concern to insert a UART RS232 between the Rpi and MBus input of the energy meter and manage in Domoticz the RS232 flow for the recovery of availble data from the energy meter.
The following data are available as native MBus output on demand:
Energy: ST_MBus_Info;
Power: ST_MBus_Info;
Volume: ST_MBus_Info;
Flow: ST_MBus_Info;
ForwardTemp: ST_MBus_Info;
ReturnTemp: ST_MBus_Info;
DiffTemp: ST_MBus_Info;
Volume1: ST_MBus_Info;
Volume2: ST_MBus_Info;
ColdEnergy: ST_MBus_Info;
Onto Domoticz, What graphical interface and choice of Hardware, Type and Sub type is suitable for displaying all these data without managing multiple counters, volume meter, temperature sensor etc .... ? In fact I'm looking for a compact display.
Unless there is a native device in Domoticz managing the GUI and MBus interface for others energy meter , but a quick search on this forum lets me say that I dream.
Thanks in advance.
