I hope someone can help me, I’m new to HA and Z-Wave. I’ve managed to setup HA with my Areotec zstick gen5 and connected it to a NorthQ NQ-92021 Power Reader. However, HA doesn’t update as often as I thought (Product manual states meter reading every 15 minutes). I will only show updated stats randomly (i.e. every other day or twice in a day).
Your meter is sleeping. It says it’ll wake up every 900 seconds and report in, is it battery operated?
firstof9, the device is battery operated and the manufacture manual states it takes the values every 15 minutes but HA doesn’t always update the stats count. I’ve attracted another image of when it has updated in the last 5 days.
The sentTS is the timestamp of when it last sent a message to the meter asking for an update. See if those are updating in 15min intervals it should be working.
What shows up in the OZW_Log.txt?
I does connect successfully every 15 minutes but it doesn’t get the meter data:

Based on the messages from the log snippets, it looks like the meter isn’t always reporting. You might have to set a polling option to force it to refresh. Check the polling interval in the Zwave menu in HA.
I’ve added polling to config file please see below and it hasn’t made any different other than increase reporting in the OZW_Log.txt
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
polling_interval: 60000
device_config:
zwave.elecmeter:
polling_intensity: 1
I’m out of ideas sadly. 
I use a Aeotec DSB28 Home Energy Meter (2nd Edition) and put CT clamps on my mains, but it has a variable to setup when and what data is sent via a configuration option.
Can you post the meter’s entry in the zwcfg_xxxxx.xml file?
Hi firstod9,
I do appreciate you helping me with my project, please see attached the zwcfg XLM file for the device.
zwcfg_0xc136234b.xml (7.8 KB)
Not seeing anything option wise to help, maybe test if the “real-time mode” reports data more frequently?
Maybe it would be worth waking up the device (surely there is a physical button to do so) and while the device is awake change the frequency of reports via the Z-Wave configuration in HA.
@pafuk2001, did you ever manage to get it working? I’ve been trying but I’m having the same results as you, it wakes up according to the set wakeup but doesn’t send any data. As far as I can tell it doesn’t send me any data ever.
Does polling even work when it’s battery operated and almost always sleeping? I haven’t had any luck with it at least. I’m kind of a novice when it comes to Z-wave so far.
I managed to get it working about 6 week ago by setting up the polling in the config file, however since then I’ve update HA and the problem has re-emerged.
Your correct in saying that it does communicate with my Z-wave controller but it doesn’t transmit the meter data.
I’ve dissociated and re-associated the device, I’ve even placed it into REAL time mode but to no avail.
