I’m stuck trying to install node-red-contrib-smartmeter. Seems some prerequisites are missing:

My add-on config looks like this:

npm_packages: []
system_packages:
  - python3
  - npm
  - make

Does anybody have a hint? What am I missing? Thanks!

Kermit · December 12, 2022, 9:53pm

looks like you’re missing g++ add it your system packages if that doesn’t work try build-essential

Zahnweh · December 13, 2022, 6:56am

As g++ didn’t do the trick I tried build-essential, but it’s producing an error in the logs:

ERROR: unable to select packages:
  build-essential (no such package):
    required by: world[build-essential]
[07:52:49] FATAL: Failed installing system package build-essential

This is how I did it:

npm_packages: []
system_packages:
  - python3
  - npm
  - make
  - g++
  - build-essential

All was working until I launched a massive update of the system after almost a year (core, supervisor, HA, node-red …).

Smartmeter is not available any more, it looks like I have similar issues. Did you solve yours?

node-RED itself is telling me:

Flows stopped due to missing node types.
smartmeter-connection
smartmeter

This node is a type unknown to your installation of Node-RED.

In “Manage palette” I could even update the smart-meter contribution to 0.6.3 (before it was 0.6.0),

but in the palette it is gone.

I managed to get the node installed after a few google searches. Here is my Node Red Addon config:

npm_packages:

nan
serialport
node-red-contrib-smartmeter

system_packages:

python3
make
gcc
g++
linux-headers

There were all dependencies for the smartmeter node.

gjesch · January 4, 2023, 2:08pm

Thanks, that did the job.

I had already the same system_packages installed. Under npm_packages, I tried node-red-contrib-smartmeter too (which should have added the node type to the pallete by default), so I think the key to the solution was serialport.

Too much try and error in my eyes, but hey, now it works .

Hi,

I also need help installing the smartmeter package in NodeRed. The installation keeps crashing with an error and I don’t know how to solve it.
Here is the log for it:

Thanks for your Help.

I was asking for a friend and he confirmed that it works now. Thanks @smarthome356!

@parkkralle you need to install the dependencies mentioned above via your Node-RED add-on configuration. In my opinion the easiest way is to switch to yaml-view (the three dots in the upper right corner) and insert these lines:

npm_packages:
  - nan
  - serialport
  - node-red-contrib-smartmeter
system_packages:
  - python3
  - make
  - gcc
  - g++
  - linux-headers

It workes. Thank you so much.
But I need one more time help. Does anyone know how to setup the smartmeter for an Iskra MT175 Meter with an USB-Reader? ( IR Schreib/Lesekopf USB (Optokopf)-ART0027 (weidmann-elektronik.de))

I got the correct configuration. Here it is:

smarthome356 · January 9, 2023, 8:45am

The configuration of the sensor looks correct, but I am not sure what Transport setting should be. Can you confirm that the USB sensor is connected to USB0 under HA Settings->System->Hardware->All Hardware (3 dots top right)? Did you check using SSH that the sensor sends data?

Also make sure the sensor is oriented correctly. There is a send/recieve “bulb” on the IR sensor as well as your energy meter. Check that they are lined up (I had this issue )

Hello Zahnweh,

as an absolute beginner I might ask stupid questions, but were exactly do I have to include the mentioned lines?
In the configuration.yaml of home assistant?

Zahnweh · July 26, 2023, 7:16am

Hello,

you will have to add those lines to the add-on configuration. Navigate to your Node-RED add-on, select configuration in the top menu, hit the three dots in the upper right corner and switch to yaml.

Excelsior!!!
After implementing all the NPM and System packages, i was able to install node-red-contrib-smartmeter.
1000 Thanks to you Zahnweh.

Although I now get another error ( smartmeter-obis error: Error: No or too long answer from Serial Device after last request) and have absolutely no clue how to solve, it still feels like victory after 4 months and lots of long nights searching for a way to get my IR Sensor talking to HA.

Fired up by this incredible good “excelsior” feeling Zahnweh’s help has given me, I am no longer to proud and stubborn to ask for help in an earlier phase…
Has anyone an idear what I have to do next and how? After 5 hours google research and “try and error” I am open for suggestions since I would like to get this thing running prior to X-Mas
