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

In the Homewizard app (don’t know which meter you have), select “Mijn huis” screen (“My home”?) , select a graph. Then day/month/year is selectable.
The paying version has more features I assume.

In the official app, you can find the energy used produced by the panels. Where can I find this in HA ?

:postal_horn: HomeWizard has created an RJ45/HAN compatible P1 meter (in comparison to the more common RJ12 variant). To get some initial responses and user feedback the price is reduced for a short period. I would highly appreciate if you help testing, if you are living in Norway or have an HAN/RJ45 smart meter in Sweden)! → HomeWizard Wi-Fi P1 Meter - HomeWizard

Probably a stupid question, but how did you get the date/time from the json in HA?
Thanks.

Question, working with my own HW-module it works like a charm. But now I would like to add the HW-module at my parents house also added to my dashboard.

Is this possible? Or does the API only support local connection?

It is a ‘local’ API :wink:

If you really want to do this, you can

  • do some scary port forwarding stuff (which exposes data, just don’t do this. Not sure why I am even suggesting this)
  • or, Setup a site-to-site VPN
  • or, use ‘Remote Home Assistant

Hi,
I used to have a beautiful dashboard with all my energy expenses. I recently changed my energy contract to hourly rated prices. HomeWizard calculates this beautifully. But to reproduce this in HA is quite a hassle. Has anyone succeed to get the day/week/month/year prices synced from HomeWizard to HomeAssistant?

Thank you for your swift reply. I get a timeout and/or 408 error for the updated device. No smooth operation. Why didn’t I receive update notifications/reminder, did I miss a setting or something.

There is no notification because HomeWizard devices are updated automatically. I think something is going up with your Wi-Fi (firewall, parental control, bad signal). (You can try for example to temporarily move your Watermeter to a better location)

When this all does not help, just contact HomeWizard support. They will properly reach out to me behind the scenes but we have a better context then.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. Like I said, never had these issues before. Will trial-and-error / eliminate all possible causes you mentioned. Keep you posted. Cheers

Update:

The HW Water meter seems to have died while trying to update the new firmware:

  1. removed it from my utilities water meter and moved it to another AP
  2. the pairing button gives me no blue blinking led;
  3. the units makes a terrible noise - recorded it for HW CS;
  4. It should reconnect with my IoT network:

I’ll contact HW CS to resolve this issue.

edit: typos

Without any feedback from Home Wizard on my support request, intervention(s) from my side for firewall / WiFi / etc, the HWE Water meter resurrected to life after powering it up again - on my desktop - just to give it another try.

Reseated it onto the utility meter and all is up-and-running again. Current WiFi signal is 68%.

Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 10.26.17

Again, a very strange and unreliable behavior to me. Glad it’s working again, but do I need to RMA this unit?

edit - 15h01

Having serious issues with all devices now dropping from my IoT network using WiFi, @DCSBL can you please advise? Is this related to the new firmware / iOS app updates?

Please use this thread for issues, ideas or discussions with Home Assistant. I recommend to stay in contact with HomeWizard Support to fix any issue you have with the device.

What’s the usual response time of the HomeWizard Support Team?

@DCSBL First of al thank you for the time and efforty you have put in this app! its a nice adition to home assistant! I noticed that HomeWizard did an update that makes the implementation of a lot of SolarPanel brands in there system very easy. Are you planning to implement this data to HA, in a next update? I could use the custom made apps but this is extra load on the system and a lot of hastle to install.

I am considering using the energy socket to register the yield of a number of solar panels.

I was wondering how often the current values ​​such as power (W) and yield (kWh) are updated? Every 10 seconds or every minute or? I want to use them via the HA local API.

Every 5 seconds :wink:

I have 2 issues.

  1. HomeWizard does not reconnect to wifi if wifi goes down. For example, there is a power outage or just an update of the router. This is annoying as some don’t have access to the P1 meter and you need to call a local electrician to open the main fuse box. I know that there is an esp32 inside and the issue could be fixed with a code update as we have multiple usecases where esp is used and no issues like this exist. What I need to do to fix it is, I need to push the button for 5s, reconnect the HW to the app and go trough the WIFi reconfiguration and I need to reconnect to the exact same wifi that is already stored on HW.

  2. I have much more data in telegram endpoint then what I have in data endpoint and what I get HA. I would like to have all the is in telegram to HA.

BTW the support which is available to the customers is poor and even this is a compliment.
