SCT-013-030 current monitor sensor

[chatainsim]

Thank you for the code.
Can you tell me how to wire the sensor ?
I have only two wire connected to the jack.

Thanks !

[epierre]

this code is for three, first one is wired on A3 / A0, second A4/A1 and third on A5/A2

[chatainsim]

Yes, I've understand this but how is it possible to wire on A3 and A0 with only two wires ? Where is connected the VCC ?
I've used this : http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/buildingblocks/how-to-build-an-arduino-energy-monitor-measuring-current-only

@maglo18 said:

A3 is from transformer and A0 is from CT sensor

Voltage input http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/buildingblocks/measuring-voltage-with-an-acac-power-adapter
CT input http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/buildingblocks/how-to-build-an-arduino-energy-monitor-measuring-current-only

I have 3 x voltage input and 3 x ct input.

[chatainsim]

Ahhh ! Ok.
That why there is A3 and A0 in use !

I'll digg into the voltage input to know how it's working.
Thank you.

[chatainsim]

I've change the code to only use A0 for CT sensor.
It's not plug in the cable, it's for testing.
Here is the output in arduino serial console :

There are some fail, is it normal ?
Thanks

[chatainsim]

I starting to understand.
The SCT-013-030 is used only to get Ampere, nothing more ? Is it correct ?
If I want the Watt I need more sensors connected to the arduino, right ?

[rvendrame]

@chatainsim, if you know the Voltage, just multiply the voltage by the amperage and you will have the wattage...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

[maglo18]

In Emonlib you have example to measure watt etc. without measure voltage.
https://github.com/openenergymonitor/EmonLib

[chatainsim]

@rvendrame Thanks, I will try this.
@maglo18 I will try to use some example.
First I need to check if my sketch and my assemble works at least.

Thanks for your help. I think I will need more from you guys !

[chatainsim]

Hello guys,

I've working on my sensor.
It's seems working, but I have some trouble with Watt or Kwh.

Here is the sketch:

// EmonLibrary examples openenergymonitor.org, Licence GNU GPL V3  ***/
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>  
#include "EmonLib.h"             // Include Emon Library
EnergyMonitor emon1;             // Create an instance
#define CHILD_ID 0 
MySensor gw;
unsigned long lastSend;
unsigned long SEND_FREQUENCY = 20000; // Minimum time between send (in milliseconds). We don't wnat to spam the gateway.

MyMessage IrmsMsg(CHILD_ID,V_WATT);
void setup()
{  
  gw.begin();

  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Energy Meter", "1.0");

  // Register this device as power sensor
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_POWER);
  emon1.current(A0, 29.0);       // Current: input pin, calibration.
}

void loop()
{
  gw.process();
  unsigned long now = millis();
  double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480);
  //emon1.calcVI(20,2000);         // Calculate all. No.of half wavelengths (crossings), time-out
  //emon1.serialprint();           // Print out all variables (realpower, apparent power, Vrms, Irms, power factor)
  bool sendTime = now - lastSend > SEND_FREQUENCY;
  if (sendTime) { 
    //float Irms = emon1.Irms;             //extract Irms into Variable
    gw.send(IrmsMsg.set(Irms*232.0,1));
    Serial.println(Irms*232.0);
    lastSend = now;
  }
}

I've got around 390 for the Irms*232, do you thinks it's a correct value ?
Can I calculated the current kwh with the ampere ?

Thank you.

[chatainsim]

Hello,

I've made some change in the code :

// EmonLibrary examples openenergymonitor.org, Licence GNU GPL V3  ***/
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>  
#include "EmonLib.h"             // Include Emon Library
EnergyMonitor emon1;             // Create an instance
#define CHILD_ID_WATT 0
#define CHILD_ID_KWH 1
MySensor gw;
unsigned long lastSend;
unsigned long SEND_FREQUENCY = 20000; // Minimum time between send (in milliseconds). We don't wnat to spam the gateway.

MyMessage IrmsMsg(CHILD_ID_WATT,V_WATT);
MyMessage kWhMsg(CHILD_ID_KWH,V_KWH);
void setup()
{  
  gw.begin();
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Energy Meter", "1.0");  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_WATT, S_POWER);  // Register this device as power sensor
  gw.present(CHILD_ID_KWH, S_POWER);
  emon1.current(A0, 29.0);       // Current: input pin, calibration.
}

void loop()
{
  gw.process();
  unsigned long now = millis();
  //emon1.serialprint();           // Print out all variables (realpower, apparent power, Vrms, Irms, power factor)
  double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480);
  bool sendTime = now - lastSend > SEND_FREQUENCY;
  if (sendTime) {
    gw.send(IrmsMsg.set((Irms*232.0)*1000, 1));
//    Serial.print("Watt: ");
//    Serial.println(Irms*232.0);
    gw.send(kWhMsg.set((Irms*232.0)/1000, 1));
//    Serial.print("kWH: ");
//    Serial.println((Irms*232.0)/1000);
    lastSend = now;
  }
}

But in Domoticz, I've two line for this but in kWh and not on in kWh and other in Watt :

Do you know why ?

Regards,

[AWI]

@chatainsim Domoticz does not have a different device for power (Watt) and energy(kWh) but combines them in a single device. What you need to do is send both the power and energy to the same child.

[chatainsim]

Thanks, but I've already test this and only the kWh is updated in domoticz, not watt.

// EmonLibrary examples openenergymonitor.org, Licence GNU GPL V3  ***/
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MySensor.h>  
#include "EmonLib.h"             // Include Emon Library
EnergyMonitor emon1;             // Create an instance
#define CHILD_ID 0
MySensor gw;
unsigned long lastSend;
unsigned long SEND_FREQUENCY = 20000; // Minimum time between send (in milliseconds). We don't wnat to spam the gateway.

MyMessage IrmsMsg(CHILD_ID,V_WATT);
MyMessage kWhMsg(CHILD_ID,V_KWH);
void setup()
{  
  gw.begin();
  gw.sendSketchInfo("Energy Meter", "1.0");  // Send the sketch version information to the gateway and Controller
  gw.present(CHILD_ID, S_POWER);  // Register this device as power sensor
  emon1.current(A0, 29.0);       // Current: input pin, calibration.
}

void loop()
{
  gw.process();
  unsigned long now = millis();
  //emon1.serialprint();           // Print out all variables (realpower, apparent power, Vrms, Irms, power factor)
  double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480);
  bool sendTime = now - lastSend > SEND_FREQUENCY;
  if (sendTime) {
    gw.send(IrmsMsg.set((Irms*232.0)*1000, 1));
//    Serial.print("Watt: ");
//    Serial.println(Irms*232.0);
    gw.send(kWhMsg.set((Irms*232.0)/1000, 1));
//    Serial.print("kWH: ");
//    Serial.println((Irms*232.0)/1000);
    lastSend = now;
  }
}

Can you help me with this ?

Thanks

[AWI]

@chatainsim I am pretty sure it is a combined device which shows Watt only when added ...:

Although I am not sure if the Domoticz MySensors plug-in handles it right (I'm still using my own script).

[chatainsim]

Ok, thanks.
How do you get your watt info ? With teleinfo ?

[AWI]

@chatainsim
I send the V_Watt messages from the Power meter to Domoticz.

[chatainsim]

@AWI

MyMessage IrmsMsg(CHILD_ID,V_WATT);
MyMessage kWhMsg(CHILD_ID,V_KWH);

I also send both data but it's seems that Domoticz is ingnoring it !
I don't know why.

[AWI]

@chatainsim Sounds you like you need to consult the Domoticz forum. The Domoticz code shows that is interpreted.

case V_WATT:
		{
			_tMySensorSensor *pSensorKwh = FindSensor(pSensor->nodeID, V_KWH);
			if (pSensorKwh) {
				SendKwhMeter(pSensorKwh->nodeID, pSensorKwh->childID, pSensorKwh->batValue, pSensor->floatValue / 1000.0f, pSensorKwh->floatValue, "Meter");
			}
			else {
				_tUsageMeter umeter;
				umeter.id1 = 0;
				umeter.id2 = 0;
				umeter.id3 = 0;
				umeter.id4 = pSensor->nodeID;
				umeter.dunit = pSensor->childID;
				umeter.fusage = pSensor->floatValue/1000.0f;
				sDecodeRXMessage(this, (const unsigned char *)&umeter);
			}
		}
		break;
	case V_KWH:
		{
			_tMySensorSensor *pSensorWatt = FindSensor(pSensor->nodeID, V_WATT);
			if (pSensorWatt) {
				SendKwhMeter(pSensor->nodeID, pSensor->childID, pSensor->batValue, pSensorWatt->floatValue / 1000.0f, pSensor->floatValue, "Meter");
			}
			else {
				SendKwhMeter(pSensor->nodeID, pSensor->childID, pSensor->batValue, 0, pSensor->floatValue, "Meter");
			}
		}
		break;```
