Aeotec DSB09104 Home Energy Meter (HEM) gen1 parameters

[Jz777]

I am gradually switching devices over from ST to HA, which I have running all by itself on a NUC. I have a HUSBZB-1 for Z-wave.

Z-wave JS–latest
Driver version: 13.10.3
Server version: 1.39.0

With impressively responsive help from Aeotec, I managed to switch drivers back and forth to make it work on ST, so I know the device itself is fine. However, my goal has been to eliminate the ST hub and HA integration.

All I want is a report of total power at 1-min intervals on my dashboard, no usage stats. I have been through this old topic and am unable to determine how to get this from HA:

Aeotec DSB09104 Home Energy Meter not updating in HASS

Hey all, I got a few of these the other day super-cheap but have been having trouble getting them to update in HASS. They are a little bit different than my DSB28 and the configs I have for it don’t seem to work for these meters. They update just fine in OZWCP, just not in HASS. Is there a trick here that I’m missing? Thanks so much!

I can set the numerical parameters as described there. I understand that I need to hit the button on the HEM after each change. However, hitting the button does not help to make any of the config “switches” for intervals stick.

How about providing the numerical values you were setting in ST, and then the values you are trying to set in HA?

How about providing some driver logs of when you are changing the settings? I think you’re now familiar with how to get these.

Your link is to a topic from 2017, which at the time was a completely different Z-Wave stack. The actual comment you linked to doesn’t provide any parameter settings, and it’s quite difficult to go through all 96 comments and then make an assumption about what you’re actually trying to change.

In ST, I changed these parameters using the ZWave Device Config MC driver:

Parameter 101 [4 byte] = 12
Parameter 111 [4 byte] = 60

This has kWh and watts reporting once every minute.

Then I changed to the Z-Wave Electric Meter driver and it does precisely that.

To test this again, I took the meter off of ST and put it on HA today, and the problem has changed. While before, I could not make the switch for Parameter 111 stick, today it did. However, the entity did not update at all.

For a more controlled trial, I have switched the device back to ST, repeated the parameter changes, and confirmed that it is working. Tomorrow, I will go back to HA.

I’m happy to provide them, but I am unfamiliar with driver logs in HA. Do you mean the Z-Wave JS log, or from ST, or something else?

Noted, but the problem described there was the same I observed and the advice to press the button after each parameter changes worked for numerical ones. It was the most relevant thread I found here.

Sorry if I’ve been unclear, but the issue has been not which ones to change (confirmed to work on ST), but making the switch change stick in HA. Today, when I went back to to the configure button, even after a total HA restart, the switch change stuck, but didn’t change reporting, which was stuck on a single value.

The same log you posted here:

Difference in tilt sensor performance between ST and HA

Z-wave JS–latest Driver version: 13.10.3 Server version: 1.39.0 Any issues with shape of the network have been controlled for, as the difference is identical when the device is right next to either the hub or the HUSBZB-1. The log shows an immediate change, but the status on my dashboard does not:

Yeah, I may be confused now. Is your issue setting the configuration parameters, or is it that once the parameters are changed, HA does not see any device updates? Because once the config parameters are changed, switching software does not affect them.
