Aeon home energy monitor

Sometimes refreshing the page helps. Other times you have to restart Home Assistant.

Does anyone have any updated information for using this with Z-Wave JS? I’ve tried setting parameters 101 and 111 for reporting via Developer Tools, but HA still doesn’t regularly update the data from the HEM.

If I manually initiate a refresh of data from the Developer Tools, it refreshes just fine, so I know it’s able to get the data. I just need help getting it to do automatic refreshes at determined intervals (5 min is what I tried to set).

What do you have parameter 101 set to?

I’ve tried multiple values, but right now I have it set to 6912 for parameter 101 and 30 for parameter 111 (while testing – 300 later when it’s working properly). The entities my HEM gen1 gives me seem to be for power and energy for clamps 1 and 2 separately, so I would think this would get me those values reported every 30 seconds, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

I was able to set an automation that uses the call service to specifically refresh these entities every X minutes and then I made 2 sensors that add those power and energy values together for clamps 1 and 2 so I can see the total for each.

This works, but I don’t know if it’s ideal to manually refresh each of those values separately like that every 5 minutes versus it refreshing them automatically without 4 separate pings from HA.

This isn’t required, the meter has this as a report.

The refreshing shouldn’t be needed. Do you see any reports in the zwavejs2mqtt logs from that node?

I didn’t install zwavejs2mqtt, just the Z-Wave JS integration and supervisor add-on, which apparently prevents me from running zwavejs2mqtt (Z-Wave JS: Cannot get zwavejs2mqtt control panel to connect - #8 by nappyjim).

Is there information I can provide from the regular Z-Wave JS integration without zwavejs2mqtt that would be helpful, or do I need to find a way to get fix this (apparently by getting rid of the supervisor add-on and reinstalling the integration after installing zwavejs2mqtt)? If I can do that without wiping out my ~40 Z-wave devices I’ve already connected, I can do that.

Hello,
Does anyone of you have negative readings recently ?
I have 3 phase ZW095 and nobody touched it for 1y everything worked ok.
However maybe 2 - 3 weeks ago I’ve started receiving negative values.
I have no clue what might happen or how to troubleshoot it.

It sounds like the counter rolled over, reset the Meter via:

service: zwave_js.reset_meter

Thanks I’ve already did that. But nothing has changed :frowning:

Do you have grid tied solar panels?

No nothing that would generate any electricity.

Check configuration parameter 2, that’s the one that enables/disabled net metering. You want it set to the first option called “Power”.

Yea thanks, I changed this parameter when the issue had started to keep data consistency I believe it’s absolute value instead of algebraic sum however this will only a temporary solution.
I need to find out the real source of this problem.

Usually negative values mean the clamps are backwards.

So I have had one of these I never put in… and finally got around to it… it is the old DSB09104-ZWUS… I updated the firmware and I am getting values for a bunch once I realized most of the parameters were disabled… (or at least on such a long interval I wasn’t going to see anything anytime soon)… but can anyone help me make sense of all of these entities? The are pretty much all named the same some with a (2) or _2 … from what I can gather the first values would be the total and the next ones below would be the individual from each clamp? It seems to be the total of the 2… also if trying to use home assistants energy stuff, which one of these would I pick? like a total consumption one or the constantly updating value? Sorry if dumb I haven’t used the new energy stuff at all.

So for these meters you get readings from Clamp 1, Clamp 2, and the total Clamp 1+2.

The marketing and product box for this item promotes that you can plug it in and power it from a nearby socket.

They show that approach in the manual for the US 110v version , but for the UK/EU 230v version it suggests it has to be hard wired into the main consumer unit ?

As I have a socket right next to the consumer unit? Please could someone explain why I can’t connect the power cable to a UK plug and power it, rather than get an electrician to hardwire it?

Although I use one of these in the U.S., I can’t speak with authority about the UK/EU, but looking at the diagram from Aeotec, if you have a single phase system and you can identify which side of the UK plug is “neutral” versus “live”, as well as being able to add the clamp to a “live” wire, then you should be able to add/wire your own plug to the UK/EU based HEM.

Hi. I’am using Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Z-Wave.Me Razberry daughtercard. In my case the solution to the problem of values not updating automatically was to assign Lifeline group (which is Group 1) to the DSB28 meter as follows.

This can be done in http://your-address:8091/ z-wave configuration panel. This way the DSB28 meter is correctly sending Group 1 updates to the z-wave controller (NodeID_1). Frequency and values sent in reports can be configured in the same panel (Configuration section of the DSB28 node). Be sure to set the parameter [14-112-0-3] Selective Reporting to “0 Disable”

Enable reporting of values in Report: Group 1 and configure frequency parameter (eg 30 sec.)
[14-112-0-111] Automatic Reporting Interval: Group 1

Thank you! Getting my DSB09104 working again has been on my list for a long time and today I decided to try to follow the rabbit hole (and probably fail after hours of searching :wink: ). This was only the 3rd thread I found and lo and behold, your method worked!

Now who would have ever thought to A) use a Group, B) use the “Lifeline” group, and c) know where to assign it to? I love this platform but so much of the necessary information is lost in the minutia… so crazy!

OK so for those who also are using a Z-Stick as their primary Z-wave interface to your controller (in my case a NUC), you’ll want to select that as your “Target Node” (the third dropdown menu that shows up after you select the Lifeline Group).

Also, - and this wasn’t entirely clear for me after reading the above post - you need to get into the “Configuration v1” section of the config and for each “Automatic Report: Group 1” section select “[1] Enable” and hit the little “send” icon. This ensures each of these values gets sent at the frequency set in the “[15-112-0-111] Report Interval (Group 1)” entry. I set mine to 30 seconds fwiw.
