Frustrations on HAOS config zwave automations

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I’m trying to set up a new HAOS and am running into a couple of road blocks with changes in automations

On my old system I could reset my Aeotec Energy KWhr meter at midnight with the command
zwave.reset_node_meters
and setting my
node_id: XX

On HAOS I only see the command
zwave_js.reset_meter (Z-Wave: Reset meters on a node)
and I’ve tried using the Aeotec Entity and the Aeotec Node

I can’t seem to reset it under HAOS. Does anyone have the Aeotec Energy Meter on their system and can you share your reset command with me?

Why would you want to do that, instead of creating a daily Utility meter to keep daily statistics? Then you also get to keep the total.

I’m replacing an old HA system that didn’t have “Utility Meter”. I have an existing data collection server via MQTT and I had to collect data hourly and manually reset the counter up until this point. I have energy meters being monitored in multiple buildings.

I just added the “Utility Meter” but it doesn’t seem to show anything - I am assuming I need to let it run for a few days to see what it generates.

Once the kWh sensor changes you should see the value increase, and if you set is to daily, it will automatically go to 0 at midnight. Today’s value will of course only count the usage after the moment you created it.

I just tried it and was able to successfully reset my meter by using the device.

There is another service you can use called Z-Wave: Set a Value(advanced). You can get to this by selecting device as the action and selecting your Z-Wave device from the list or using a service as your action.

If you use option #1 you will need to select meter from the command class list then type reset in the property field and true in the value field. If you use option#2 you will have to manually input the number that corresponds to the meter command class which is 50. Everything else will be the same.

I think I solved the problem.

On my old HA system I could trigger the automation to fire even with the time trigger set at midnight. I just tried changing the reset time on my HAOS automation and magically it now fires with a manual trigger.

My port over has been kind of like driving an old car for 5 years and when I jump in the drivers seat on a new one I discover that someone put the accelerator in the back seat and the foot brake on the passenger side - but now it’s pink and labelled HORN.
