Utility Proviced "Energy Bridge" ... How to get info into Homeseer?

[ArbWare]

Hello all..


I'm an American Electric Power (AEP) customer.
They recently installed a smart meter.
And they provided an "energy bridge".


The bridge tied into my home wifi netork, and "Binded" to the smart meter.


There is a web app that allows me to monitor real time consumption.


Apparently, there is also the ability to use the bridge as a primary ZWAVE controller and have it control zwave devices based on rules you program through APP.


I use homeseer instead


The bridge manufacturer is "Powerley".
The company website is www.powerley.com

i've searched online
I found a manual for the bridge here: Manual

But... i can't find any information on API's... (Wifi or zwave or anything).


Any ideas of where i could find info... or how i might get the usage info into homeseer?


Thanks in advance

Based on info i found here:
https://community.home-assistant.io/...-issue/18989/3




I found that if i use the Brigde IP address in


http://IP_ADDRESS:8888/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand

it reports back the current demand in KW.

I wish i could get cumulative hour or daily usage.. but can't find much documetation.


At the very least i should be able to get instantaneous into Homeseer (updated through an script/event every 5 minutes or so?)

I have the DTE Energy Bridge. I checked the output of /zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand and it matches what my Brultech GreenEye is reporting. I'll wrap this up into a plug-in that reports data into the HomeSeer energy database and provide it to you for free in exchange for the idea

I have Puget Power in Seattle area...and they just upgraded me to a smart meter.... Wonder if they have a bridge? Anyone familiar with this one?

All,

For the short term, i set up a virtual device, and use Jon00 Chart Utility to graph.

I load the virt device with the following ("quick and dirty") script

Imports System.Net

Function Main(parm as object)
  dim result as String
  dim val as double
  dim SArray as String()
  result=hs.GetURL("http://192.168.1.130","/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand",TRUE,8888)

  ' hs.writelog("getPower",result)

   hs.SetDeviceStringByName("Power", result, True)


   SArray = result.split(" ")
   double.tryparse(Sarray(0),val)

   'hs.writelog("getPower",val)

   hs.SetDeviceValueByName("Power", val)


End Function

This has been working for me for a few weeks here in Columbus, Ohio with and AEP Energy Bridge. Today around 4pm it stopped working. When I call the endpoint manually (http://192.168.0.xx:8888/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand) I get this error:

{“code”:“ResourceNotFound”,“message”:"/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand does not exist"}

Wondering if any other Energy Bridge users are having this problem? I wonder if they deployed an update that turned off this endpoint.

Mine quit working on Jan 13th.

AEP must have pushed a firmware update..

I’ll do some research and post back here... if anyone figures it out... I would ask that they do same.

I'm using DTE Energy, not AEP, and mine quit working on January 12 around 7:00pm. This was the "v2" hardware, which used to support the :8888/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand endpoint. Now, though, I get the same error as Ben Diss: {“code”:“ResourceNotFound”,“message”:"/zigbee/se/instantaneousdemand does not exist"}

I have poked around a little bit on the device but have not been able to find a new URL for this or any other useful endpoint. :/

Just chiming in. I got an EnergyBridge from AEP and have been using their first party app, and realized I could try to monitor this from my own setup. I found this thread and was pretty excited until, I ran into the same issue (instantaneousdemand does not exist).

I wonder ArbWare, how did you find the instantaneousdemand page in the first place? I tried looking but was unsuccessful at finding a quick utility to search for all subdirectories/webpages.

I noticed that TCP ports 22, 2883, 5355, 8081 are also open. None of them respond to anything in a web browser, either at root or with that directory. It does respond to SSH (putty) on port 22, but I haven't the faintest clue on the credentials.
