Domoticz

Hello Everyone.

I bought an Energy Meter to use it with Domoticz. It has a S0 Output.
I wired it to an ESP8266 with ESPEasy Firmware.

S+ to 3.3V and S0 to D5 with a Resistor 4.7K to Ground.
The Esp is configured to a pulse Counter with falling Signal and a debounce of 20 ms.
I sent the counter to an IDX. But it wont work.

Is here anyone who uses such a solution?

What type of virtual device did you create?

RFX Meter

Do you see any calls to domoticz from the esp in the log of Domoticz?

No not really. First of all the esp must work and get the value from the power meter

Perhaps this information is worth reading before trying to make an interface between the S0-interface of your kWh-meter and the ESP8266:

I think the esp is now working. I get the value from the meter.

But what now? Do I need a script?

Just some suggestions 'what next'

'Inside' ESPEasy you could use Rules to locally perform control functions at the ESP8266,
e.g. control of a relais or indicator.

'Outside the ESP8266: Is the info from the ESP8266 arriving at the related Virtual Device at Domoticz?
Domoticz provides basic graphs & tables with the data collected over time.
Furthermore, under application of that Virtual Device you might process the data for all kind of purposes:
- for control of actuators simplest is using Blockly in Domoticz to make a basic script
- using lua-script, dzVents-script or Python-script (to name a few) the road is open for all your nice projects .......
If your meter measures the output of a PV-System, one of the 'usual' applications is upload of PV-data to PVOutput for additional/remote graphing & archiving: just look around in this Forum for a script to be used.
If your meter measures 'Local Consumption', then look for a dashboard-script to get the archived & actual info nicely displayed at a website.
