Read the excellent manual by Chris [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,13057.0.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,13057.0.html[/url]. In it you can read that for whole house you just have to use category 1 and the selected device is put in the category whole house. This works for this device.
Is it possible to see the difference in kWh of solar power every min in a datamine graph?
This is because my dutchmeter can’t show current returned power(Watts).
Today i installed solar panels but… The smartmeter plugin does not show export actual usage. Is that correct ?
I don’t know if it is correct. What i do know is that is exactly the same as in my situation.
When exporting electricity it shows 0 or 10 or -10.

Strange i’d expect a watt number for export too
A wattage can alwyas be seen on one of four child devices.
I agree it would be nice if the current value would also be displayed on the parent decive.
Yesterday ExportRate2 always showed zero. I knew is was exporting elektricity so something was wrong. I installed the latest version i could find (with the minus sign change) installed it, luup restarted and now it’s fine. Im exporting power now officially recording to vera.
Now i wil have to make a plugin for my Kostal piko 4.2 solar converter myself probably. Because export is less than what my pv panels are producing.
Yesterday during daytime my meter (still) showed values for exportrate1. I think values are not cleared when rates change from 1 to 2 or 2 to 1
So i looked into the code for this plugin and found that the code for export differs from the part for import.
Only there is some code which i dont understand. What does (activeTariff % 2) do in this piece of code
-- export rate 2
luup.variable_set("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:EnergyMetering1", "Watts", tonumber(string.match(string.sub(data,10), "%d+.%d+"))*-1000.0, findChild(THIS_DEVICE,"ExportRate" .. activeTariff))
-- export rate 1
luup.variable_set("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:EnergyMetering1", "Watts", 0, (findChild(THIS_DEVICE,"ExportRate" .. (1+(activeTariff % 2)))*-1))
I changed the code for the plugin which now reports exportrate1 as 0 in stead of leaving it on -160 when activetarrif = 2 (exportrate2)
-- export rate 1
luup.variable_set("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:EnergyMetering1", "Watts", 0, findChild(THIS_DEVICE,"ExportRate" .. (1+(activeTariff % 2))))
I have a vera3 (purchased 1 week ago), I have a P1-usb cable I downloaded the dutchsmartmeter 1.2.b.zip software I load them in the plugins of mios ( (my plugins)
What are the roles for the json, d_ s_ i_
Create a device oke but what to do have to fill in.
Can or is someone willing to help me out on how to install the plugin. I thought I have made all the steps .
I read the first post on this subject but still strugling
Who can provide me with the correct installation steps ?
Have a look here: a description in Dutch: Micasaverde Vera Zwave Controllers; Ervaringen en Vragen - Smarthome - GoT (you need to scroll a little down)
Uploaded the files, changed the serial settings but none of the meters are showing up
Got it working.
How can I see my gaz consumption a day during a year instead of the increasing total of gaz consumption a day?
See attachment
I have issues with my Vera. After contacting MCV they come back with:
I’ve checked the logs from our servers and it seems that your issue is related to : “Sensor Meterkast Verbruik Master”, “Sensor Teruglevering Dag - Powermeter ExportRate2”, “Sensor Teruglevering Nacht - Powermeter ExportRate1”, “Sensor Verbruik Dag - Powermeter ImportRate2” and “Sensor Verbruik Nacht - Powermeter ImportRate1”. Each of these 5 devices are reporting the values every 10 seconds to Vera.
Can you please try to increase the report interval for those 5 devices and see if you still encounter this issue?
How do I increase the interval from 10 to lets say 30 secs?
No one?
@SanderL,
The “Dutch SmartMeter” is sending data over RS232 every 10 seconds.
The best way to increase the update interval would be at the SmartMeter itself, but in my opinion there is no way to realize this.
Second possibility would be changing the implementation file of the SmartMeter plugin in Vera.
You could have the incoming data to only process every second or third time, but the data still would come in every 10 seconds. However it would prevent updating the plugin and its childDevices every 10 seconds.
I have used this plugin myself for a while, but have changed the way the plugin works.
It is still processing the incoming data every 10 seconds, but I first wait until all data has arrived (wait for end of message character “!”) giving a more smooth processing.
Because it is combined with my PV monitoring, I do not think my implementation of the SmartMeter would be universally applicable, but if you are familiar with lua and would like to change your copy of the SmartMeter plugin I could copy the file here.
The plugin, however, was never causing problems on my Vera2, also not when it was in its original state, so I doubt that the plugin is the cause of your problems.
Regards.
Hi all,
I have made an update on the Vera and I have accidentally broken the cable of the unit as well (at the same time almost).
Fixed the cable and now it does not read anything from the smartmeter it seems…
I really dont know if the issue is the cable or the app (or latest software edition) but who knows how to work this out?
I re-installed the app again a couple of times but I cant get it to work.
Can someone help me troubleshoot?
Start with buying new cable
Link cable to pc and use a freeprogram to the read the meter?
did that…
@Crismaison: Any advise on which program? and will that work with the inverted RX (or does it work because of the inverted RX;)?)
