I am trying to connect these two sensors so that I can read them in domotic but unfortunately it does not work as long as I show the temperature of all sensors in the terminal, but in domoticz not anymore. Can anyone help me.
Hi @David-Marlinge
I have struggled with these meters in Domoticz also. I am using an S_Power meter for an energy monitor which looks like what you are using. This is my understanding:
The value on the top of the bar is the power you have most recently sent (in Watts).
Domoticz calculates kWh from the watts and the time it was sent.
kWh used today is shown on the Utility screen (your 2036.992).
Overall kWh is what is shown on the device tab (your 2311414.016).
I present an S_POWER device, then measure the current and multiply by the voltage to get the power in watts. Then I send that with a V_WATT message. I don't calculate the kWh. Domoticz calculates kWh from the Watts I send and time I send it.
For example:
present(CHILD_ID_PWR, S_POWER, "Emon 38/26H");
. . . . . . . .
MyMessage Msg_Pwr(CHILD_ID_POWER, V_WATT);
. . . . . .
send(Msg_Pwr.set(Pwr, 1));
Then the Pwr value should show up in that top bar. Domoticz will calculate the kWh used based on the time of the power updates.
I have not really used the V_KWH variable, so I'm not sure how that fits in with this one.
@Eme Thanks for letting us know how you solved the problem - helps us all to learn. I've recently upgraded my Raspberry Pi 1b to 4 and just got it working as an ethernet gateway with standard NRF24 radio. I'm curious about a few things as I've been trying to also use a PA LNA radio but without success;
Any reason you have set up your gateway as serial and not ethernet?
What did you mean by "Don't rely on GPIO pins to power it, use a regulator". By regulator did you mean the capacitor, did you use another regulator component - I can't see from your image
Did you change the power setting of you configuration file MyConfig.h -lowering the power to "RF24_PA_LOW'?
Yes errors on the commands given through domoticz
only one in three and taken into account

...and the local push button commands are not taken into account
in the loop something that dies its tail ??
// Inform controller if state change from input
if (debouncer.update())
{
bool newState = !digitalRead(CONTROL_INPUT_PIN);
if (newState != currentState)
{
currentState = newState;
if (currentState != controllerState)
{
send(msg.set(currentState));
}
}
}
merci Boum
@boum I did it in this way from some time, but it looks less elegant. I have to make many virtual devices in domoticz, devices which send data to my lcd node. It works, but i think sending data directly to lcd will work better (or not... :))
The best solution would be ask directly domoticz (gw) about data sending from other node, but propably its not work in that way
I use a BME280 sensor for outside and some 18b20's for inside. Domoticz works with these without problems but I do not use OTA - not figured that out yet I had to cut out all the weather prediction code on for the BME280 to make it run on a pro mini 3.3 but Domoticz has basic prediction built in.
