Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen5

[HaPe]

Installed V3.0.1.260 of the Z-Wave plugin and did a rescan of this device. It now thinks it has a motion detector

And the total values are there. But as you can see earlier in the log, it shows up in the same device as a single line/phase so it gets overwritten. The 7498 kWh is the total for all phases, and 2372 is just for phase 3.

I also face similar issuess using ZW095 1P 100A and 3P 200A HEM. Updated with latest firmwares, 1.35 for 1P and 1.4 for 3P.
Both included, but not having Total Readings (3 hs3 devices missing for them).
Also I have Readings for kWh and Watts doubled in 3P HEM.

Tried playing with parameters, but the problem not fixed.
Someone fixed both problems (missing total devices and double readings)?

Try excluding it and then reinclude it. I have 4 of them (one on the main power line and then three more monitoring 6 branch circuits) and I’ve seen issues with their readings and excluding and reincluding has fixed it.

I had this too (I eventually returned it as I didn't find it useful enough) but when I installed it, I recall reading somethin about this "doubling" problem -- I think the solution was to check the directions of your line sensing clamps - they have to "point" in oppose directions and one of them may be flipped.

Yep. I was aware the clamps had direction markings and needed to "point" in opposite directions. Double checked that but thanks for the reminder. I wonder why some people seem to be getting accurate readings and then some of us get double.

I have the same problem. I contacted Aeotec support and they suggested it was a problem with Homeseer. They looked at my configuration and saw no problem.

Hi All
I have Aeotec ZW095 2 phase (US/Canada).
Installed as per manual - no mistakes. Included without any errors as well.
Works more than 6 month, ALL this time readings WRONG from actual.

1. Voltage - Line 1 & 2 - readings correct, each line around 120 V
2. Amps - Line 1 & 2 readings are TWICE larger then actual from Main Power Meter.
3. Watts - Line 1 & 2 readings are TWICE larger then actual from Main Power Meter.
4. kW/h - summary readings and All Graphs (hourly / daily / monthly) shows values TWICE larger then actual from Utility Bill.

If anyone had something like this? Please advise how to adjust the correct readings?
Thank you.

Oops, missed this a while back...

This is based on my system, where the individual Watts devices are 40 and 44.
I created a dummy device number 47.
(Device numbers can be seen from their "Advanced" tab).

This event triggers whenever either Watts device changes value.


Sub Main(parm as object)
Dim WattsNow as Double
'47=Watts variable, 44=Watts1, 40=Watts2

WattsNow = hs.deviceValue(44) + hs.DeviceValue(40)
hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(47, WattsNow, True)

End Sub

Below is how I calculate the totals and graph the output. I use Jon's Database Chart utility to build and graph the results.

This is a screenshot of the devices...


This is a screenshot of the events that updates the information in the devices, it runs every minute.


This is a chart that is produced using Jon's utility.



Hope this helps.

{subscribed}...
ive got one coming.. not sure if gen5 or not as bought used but was cheap... so ill be coming back here if I have similar issue..

[NutsyHome]

NutsyHome...would would be willing to share your script for generating the totals?

Thanks!

Hi NustyHome

Do you have the same readings from ZW095 compared to your home Power Meter?
...
And kW/h value accumulated for a month ZW095 shows 2 time more that Utility Bill.

Over the past month, my ZW095 total kWH matches my electric bill...

[HaPe]

Correct, there's no "total" device.
I created an Event/Script to add it up whenever a source changed, then set that total to a user-created device for presentation.

Some work on this device in the last update to the plugin. But still only 12 devices (after rescan, not exclude/include). All the "Total Readings" (six available in the device (see link in first post), but probably only Watts and kWh is necessary) is still missing.

Hi NustyHome

I mean Amp & Watt for each line.

My ZW095 shows twice higher values.....
And kW/h value accumulated for a month ZW095 shows 2 time more that Utility Bill.

I had similar problem, although not precisely double (close). I contacted tech support at Aeotec, but I couldn't resolve the problem. I no longer live in that home and I have not set up the devices yet in my new home.

Hi NustyHome

I've honestly never checked... Maybe next billing cycle I'll reset the kWh counter and see what happens after a month.

Hi NustyHome

My ZW095 shows twice higher values.

For example, actual readings from Home Power Meter:
V = 122
I = 1.1
W = 134
ZW095 shows
V = 122
I = 2.2
W = 268

And kW/h value accumulated for a month ZW095 shows 2 time more that Utility Bill.

[ascotek]

What do you mean no "total" device?
It has 2 sets of devices for each Line:
readings for Volt, Amp, Watt
and total accumulated kW/h (can be reset at any time)

What do you calculate for total?
