NorthQ (or others?) Watt calculator

ChrisJ · October 29, 2012, 7:36pm

As requested by @JeroenZvZ and @tyfoon on the dataMine thread, I’ve put together a short plugin to calculate the “current” wattage for a NorthQ power meter. The plugin calculates the power (Watts) from the KHW readings - this is done every time the power readings update. This will result in a kind of “delay” to the data - ie this will calculate the average power over the past “x” minutes, where a sensor that measures the power will provide the power now, and for the coming “x” minutes.

It will be available on the app store (tomorrow probably!). Once installed, you need to variable “NorthQDevice” to the device number. The plugin will then monitor this for changes.

I should add that I don’t have a NorthQ, so I can’t actually test it. I’ve made assumptions that it writes the same KWH variable as the Aeon that I have. The Aeon updates quite often and I’ve attached at dataMine graph of the Aeon power Watts versus the output of the plugin. Note that the KWH variable isn’t updated as often as the Watts variable which is why the traces don’t update at the same rate.

As always, comments are welcome…

Hi!

I installed this plugin on my Vera Lite, put in the device id and let it alone for a couple of hours. Now when I checked, it said 0 watts on the dashboard, I then polled the NorthQ and it changed to “-inf”. Something I missed? (most likely, I just got started with Vera…)

Hi superpin,

Most likely I’ve made an incorrect assumption since I can’t test this with the actual NorthQ. One point I should have made is the plugin will only update after 2 updates have been made since it’s measuring the difference in the data (I could possibly change this by storing information, but that’s how it currently works).

Anyway, it would be useful if you can take a look at the log. As a newbie to Vera, you may not know how to do this - the instructions are found here (http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Logon_Vera_SSH). If you use a program called WinSCP, this gives a nice Explorer like interface, and you can then click on the “Open Terminal” button (the little black square with HOM written in it). Into this, type “cat /var/log/cmh/LuaUPnP.log | grep NorthQ”.

This should print out a list of updates along the following lines -:

If you can paste any of this information here, it would be very useful.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your effort. I got the same output as superpin: 0, NaN (Not a Number), and -inf. Now stays on -inf.

Hope this helps:

Thanks for the effort, btw!

Thanks - that helps. It looks like the data is being updated twice. The first time it works, but the second time the KWH numbers are the same and that’s causing it problems. I had a check in there to make sure the new number wasn’t lower than the old - I just need to extend that to equal to… Other than that, it looks like it’s working.

I’ve attached the update here (just to shorten the debug cycle). To load it, in UI5, go to Apps, Develop Apps, Luup Files, select the file, click the “Restart after upload” button, and click Go.

This version also removes all the decimal places after the watts…

Let me know how it goes…

Cheers
Chris

ChrisJ · October 30, 2012, 6:03pm

Thanks superpin,
Same problem - the data is seemingly being updated twice, and the second update is causing the calculation to get screwed up and that’s the one that gets seen in the GUI. I hope the update I’ve just posted will fix this…

Cheers
Chris

Thiemen · October 30, 2012, 7:26pm

Interesting, i’ll wait for the results of the second update…

JeroenZvZ · October 30, 2012, 9:10pm

No cigar, yet. Now keeps on displaying: NaN. Looks like it takes results two times right after each other and the second time always results in NaN (0 = NaN).

Ok - still the same issue, but I think there’s a subtle difference between the first and second numbers. I note that the second call has a ‘0’ on the end, and I think the way Lua does an ‘=’ comparisson means this isn’t actually equal…

So, I now convert this to a number before the comparisson, which, hopefully (!!) will stop this happening and reject the second call…

Let’s see…

Chris

Yes, I noted the same here:

JeroenZvZ · October 31, 2012, 6:25pm

Chris,

At first I got NaN again. But today, at work , I logged in and: Yes, it’s working!

Thanks again for your hard work!

ChrisJ · October 31, 2012, 6:58pm

Great stuff. I’ll put this version onto the app store. I might make a change or two at some point to make the app remember the last value which would speed up it’s initialisation, but let’s see how this version goes for now…

Let me know how it goes and if there’s any problems…

Cheers
Chris

superpin · October 31, 2012, 9:18pm

Great!

I got some useful numbers now, thank you!

Perhaps I did something wrong during testing, but I used dataMine to get a graph but when this plugin reports “inf” during initialisation it screws up the graphs? I guess it would be fixed if you implemented the fix to remember last value, or just reported “0” instead of the string?

ChrisJ · October 31, 2012, 9:29pm

Hopefully it shouldn’t be possible for the nan/inf to be displayed now (or are you saying it still happens?). I’ve put two lots of protection in - if the KWH counts are the same, or if the period is 0, then the data is ignored. On startup, it knows it’s not initialised, so it should just wait for 2 readings before it does anything. At least that’s the theory, and it’s what I see here - if you see something different, please let me know and I’ll take a look…

Regarding dataMine - yes, quite likely your files are now a little “screwy” with these invalid data points. If you have WinSCP, then you can take a look in the /dataMine directory and open the files and remove any lines with nan/inf or whatever - it should be reasonably self explanatory…

Chris

superpin · November 1, 2012, 10:11am

Chris, it was me being a bit sleepy… I reinstalled the plugin because I had messed around with it, and I probably got a reading of the NorthQ before I had copied in the new lua, sorry.

This morning everything looked great, but when I started to save the value in dataMine the third reading went to zero, both in the graph and in the dashboard? No biggie but I just wondered if its the dataMine or NorthQ calc that caused it.

Just cosmetics, or me messing up as usual…

Thanks by the way, with this plugin and dataMine my NorthQ got useful and not just a gadget!

This is the problem… It’s effectively the same problem as we originally had, but this time it’s spanned a second boundary… I put a check to make sure that the time between the two readings isn’t 0 - this happens to be 1! The fundimental problem seems to be that the NorthQ data is sent twice, and it’s a case of trying to reliably filter this out, while not preventing changes. Given that the NorthQ only updates every 15 minutes or so, it’s probably safe to increase the filter to a couple of seconds without impacting anything. That should be reliable.

I’ll update this and release it to apps…

Cheers
Chris

Thanks Chris! Fantastic that you develop a plugin without even owning the equipment.

The problem occurred three more times during the day so it would be nice to get i fixed. I agree that filtering out a couple of seconds shouldn’t be a problem in real life.

No probs. It’s a simple plugin so it’s not a major hassle…

I’ve uploaded the fixed version to apps. MCV haven’t approved the previous one yet, so hopefully they can approve this one instead…

Cheers

Chris,

I had the same error as superpin last night, two dips to 0 Watt. After that, I’ve seen no other dips.

Looking forward to your latest version in the Appstore!

Thanks, Jeroen
