Power/ Usage sensor - multi channel - local display
-
AWI I got it up and running with your new sketches!! :smiley:
Great work!!!!! Domoticz recognizes that there are sensors in the network.But something is still wrong, the usage isn't going up..
Whats wrong?Didn't connect a display and rotaryswitch and also didn't commented things out..
Why does it show every sensor twice? One with subtype unknown and one with electric??
I also seen that with the humidity temp sensor..
The serial on the master arduino says:
There's not more than a tiny plaster wall between the two arduinos, a total distance of one meter...
@MarkV A few thing from what I read from the serial out:
-
The slave does not sense any pulses, all the values are at 0
-
The master gets a "fail" when sending data to the Gateway. Looks like a communication issue
-
Are you using an USB or LAN gateway. The Domoticz output show both.... I don't know if Domoticz can handle that.
-
You can try to delete the "old"/previous nodes and start the thing again. Domoticz should use a combined Usage/ Power sensor

Hi, great work :+1:
as my S0 meter uses 2000imp/kwh and my reading seem to be twice as high as they should be i guess your meters do 1000imp/kwh?
As i am still working on my programming skills i could not figure out where to change this :flushed:
can you give me a hint which 1000 to change out with my 2000?thanks!
@jeti You are right, I never thought about other meters than the 1 pulse = 1 Whr ones..sorry. There are a few ways of getting it changed:
-
You can keep leave most as it is and when you send/ or display the values divide the pulses by two and double the Watt values in the routines "LCD_local_display" and "sendPowerUpdate"
-
or: make the necessary calculations when the data comes in. This is a little more complicated in routine "storeMeterJSON" but if you understand the logic (including error corrrection) should be not too hard.

@AWI
I´m using a LAN GW, i disconnected the serial and made the LAN one of it.
Mmm, the comms error is strange, they're at max one meter apart, with a tiny plaster wall in between, both also got a cap between vcc and gnd.
Next weekend i´m going to have a look at the slave input, rather strange that it doesn´t receives pulses.
I connected the 5volt line to all the 6 pulse meters and connected their output to D2 - D8, through a cord of network cable.
Thanks for all your help so far!!!!! -

Dawm maybe thats the problem..
I connected the 5v as commen to the pulse + and the - to the digital inputs.So to be sure i need to connect the pulse + to the digitale inputs and the pulse - to gnd????
@MarkV I would depend on your S0 meters, but normal is "open collector" so you can connect '-' to ground and '+' to the input (= pull-up to Vcc).
(another way to connect is + to vcc and - to input, but then you need external "pull down" resistors and change the sketch)
-
Then thats the problem with the slave arduino getting no data. I connected the pulse output like you mentioned second and didn't changed the sketch.
Maybe i'm home tomorrow then i will give it a try.
Or is it hard to chsnge the sketch? And what should i change? -

Or is it hard to chsnge the sketch? And what should i change?@MarkV it is indicated in the sketch but you also need external resistors for pull-down. If you disable the internal pull-up resistors the levels are inverted. So you also need to'invert' the measurements or you are measuring the pulse width instead of the time between pulses.

Tonight i checked the wires and changed them and i believe your wright, the output is:
But it keeps giving a error, so i hangt them near each other with approx. 10cm space in between, why does it stil say fail after a good startup with ok and after 10a20sec it starts saying fail..
Is the readout correct?
And what more could cause the fail error? -

Your measurement sketch is really nice. There is one line I do not understand.prateAccum += prate - 2000;
Is this prateAccum needed or couldn't it be left away? What is the meaning of 2000 in this context?

Cu,
FotoFieber@FotoFieber To be honest .. a left over from some experiments. Just leave it out... you won't notice the difference.

@AWI thanks again!
I am using your sketches with only one S0 Meter (the 2000pulse/kwh one).
*One thing i just found out, that as long as the master arduino is connected to the serial port of my pc it is running fine but when its not, it does not send.I have checked the voltage at the radio and it is the same... I also do not have any display or rotary encoder, as I do the visualisation with FHEM.
Do you know why this is the case? * -> Voltage was to low... but the secon question remains:Any idea to use differen pulses/kwh S0 meters? for example one 2000pulse/kwh and one 800 pulse/kwh.
thanks in advance! -
