HomeWizard Energy (Wi-Fi P1 meter, kWh meter, Energy Socket and Water Meter)

Zelete · November 14, 2021, 5:24pm

Hi, I have a UniFi setup but don’t have something like that configured. I’m also sure it can handle my home devices, I haven’t got any issues in the past. I can see the HomeWizard stick in my controller and everything seems fine. I have rebooted my HA several times and have updated all integrations/HACS/HA on a constant basis when new versions come out.

~~Thanks for the reply, I’ll see how I can dig deeper.~~

EDIT: the problem is solved thanks to Unsigus, for anyone wondering I just forgot to add a second (T2) to my energy entities. Since my install I thought they were logging the same data but they obviously aren’t (day and night tariffs). Thanks!

Hi all,
Newby here: I installed HACS in my Homeassistant. and searched for the homewizard energy: Found it.

Trying to install it: brings up a pop up with a circle which runs already for 10 minutes now.
Is this normal / how to install it?

Thanks for the help!

Seems to be a problem with HACS. I recommend you to ask for help with them, for example here.

My ISP had a problem, and since the network was restored, Home Assistant does not connect to the P1 meter anymore.
In the Homewizard app, everything is fine, I can also read the meter in my browser via the API and I can ping the P1meter from the HA terminal

It says

Retrying setup: Cannot connect to host 192.168.0.35:80 ssl:default [Connect call failed ('192.168.0.35', 80)]

but the P1 meter IP@ is fixed to 192.168.0.92 in my router, so no idea why HA wants to connect to it on [email protected]:80
How can I tell HA that the P1 meter is at IP 192.168.0.92 without losing my previous P1 data?
I tried the following things without result:

restart HA core
disable/enable P1 meter integration + restart HA core
with HACS, redownload the Homewizard energy custom component + restart HA core
In configuration/integrations/add integration/add Homewizard energy + fill in the IP@
→ it says aborted when I submit the configuration
complete shutdown and restart of the HA host

You can just remove the configuration (Link to Configuration – My Home Assistant, select your meter, press the 3 dots and click ‘Delete’). Then re-add your meter. If you use the same name, all should just work as before.

OK, thx, it worked.
I considered the delete option, but I was afraid I would lose my previous data when deleting.

I’m seeing errors in the Core log that seem to be associated with the HomeWizard P1 meter:

2021-12-12 14:29:44 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved

And if I look at the readings, there appear to be momentary spikes in the graph which do not, I think, correspond to the actual power readings:

I’m using a port splitter on the P1 port, because I am using load balancing for the “Laadpaal” (charging post) for our electric auto - could this be causing the issue?

Edit:
Version 0.12.1 is available on HACS that fixes the error. (Release 0.12.1 · DCSBL/ha-homewizard-energy · GitHub)

Gratje · December 19, 2021, 5:46pm

Hello, I installed everything without any issues with HACS. now running 0.12.1.
I have a P1 meter. But I noticed it is generating a lot of data for the active power in the history and delays everything.
I’m not a good programmer, but how can I adjust the update frequency? so it only updates every (lets say) 5 seconds?

DCSBL · December 20, 2021, 6:20am

@Gratje, You can disable automatic polling (on configuration, press the 3 dots and select system options) and configure an automation that calls homeassistant.update_entity with your requirement, eg. every 5 seconds or ‘only if I am home’: See Manual Polling.

You also add this, or something custom, with your own entity_id’s, to your configuration.yaml, with that only the ‘total_power_import/export’ values will be logged.

recorder:
  exclude:
    entity_globs:
      - sensor.energysocket_*_active_power
      - sensor.energysocket_*_active_power_l1
      #   - sensor.energysocket_*_total_power_export_t1
      #   - sensor.energysocket_*_total_power_import_t1
      - sensor.energysocket_*_wifi_ssid
      - sensor.energysocket_*_wifi_strength
      - sensor.p1_meter_active_power
      - sensor.p1_meter_active_power_l1
      - sensor.p1_meter_active_power_l2
      - sensor.p1_meter_active_power_l3
      - sensor.p1_meter_gas_timestamp
      - sensor.p1_meter_model
      - sensor.p1_meter_smr_version
      - sensor.p1_meter_total_gas
      #   - sensor.p1_meter_total_power_export_t1
      #   - sensor.p1_meter_total_power_export_t2
      - sensor.p1_meter_wifi_strength

Gratje · December 20, 2021, 2:19pm

@DCSBL Thanks, got it working. with some trial and error. but now with an automation and time_pattern trigger it is updating every 5 seconds. That will save a lot of data in my SQLdatabase.

TheSkyer · December 31, 2021, 9:45am

Hey Guys,

I’m also dabbling in integrating my home energy wizard P1 meter into home assitant. Unfortunatly I am having some trouble. I’ve downloaded the integration via HACS and when i try to set it up it aks me for the P1 meters IP adres. I enter the adres and it simple states “Aborted”. I’ve pinged the P1 meterand it’s working an connected as expected.

P1 meter software version = 2.13
Home assistand version = 2021.12.7
HomeWizard Energy integration version = 0.12.1

I’ve tried uninstalling an reinstalling the integration (also the older 0.12.0 version) but I was unable to connect to the p1 meter.

Any suggestions?

DCSBL · December 31, 2021, 11:44am

The “hoem energy wizard P1 meter”? Nice name .

Can you find anything in the logs? Make sure you just enter the IP address and not things like “http://“

TheSkyer · January 1, 2022, 1:27pm

XD, sorry for that spelling error XD

I can’t find anything in the logs other than this:

DCSBL · January 1, 2022, 3:09pm

Can you open an issue here with these details?

Seer · January 20, 2022, 10:23am

For some reason my Home Assistant stops getting data for random periods. I noticed my enery dashboard is empty, even though I see data readouts on the sensors. But when I check the history for example for the current usage, I see clear flatlines.

Any idea what could be the cause of this?

Seer · January 20, 2022, 10:27am

(sorry, I can only upload 1 image per post apparontly)

Here you can clearly see it reads export, but the history graph does not reflect it.

HA V21.12.10

DCSBL · January 20, 2022, 10:13pm

Is there anything in the log?
Do you see the same in the HomeWizard Energy app?
Do you see the same behaviour on other datapoints?

timberooh · January 22, 2022, 9:08am

Hey, is it possible to share your dashboard please? I really like it!

bubbamester · January 22, 2022, 10:26am

Dear @DCSBL,

sorry, maybe offtopic but hard to find information about the following. Please help me.

I live in Hungary. I have a Fronius solar system. I’d like to know that the HomeWizard Wi-Fi P1 Meter will works with my Holley DTSD545 Electricity meter together. The unit has a P1 slot. Will I be able to collect the data from the electricity meter?

The electricity meter manual: https://www.eon.hu/content/dam/eon/eon-hungary/documents/Lakossagi/aram/muszaki-ugyek/fogyasztasmerok/Holley-DDSD285-DTSD545-v01.pdf

Last three pages contains the info about P1 port.
If the units fits then I would like to buy the Homewizard P1 and use with Homeassistant.

Thanks for your answer.

Regards,
Balazs
