I am releasing the first beta of UltraECM2 HSPI. This plug-in is compatible with the Brultech ECM-1240 or the Brultech GreenEye Energy Monitor (GEM). The plug-in connects directly to the Brultech devices without the need for the Brultech EngineG software.
Install Instructions:
1) Remove any UltraECM HomeSeer devices, then shutdown HomeSeer.
2) Uninstall UltraECM HSPI version 1.
3) Disable the Brultech EngineG software and shutdown the program.
4) Download and install UltraECM2.
5) Restart HomeSeer.
6) Confirm you have UltraECM2 in the plug-in menu.
Setting Initial Options:
1) From UltraECM2 > Options, select an initial data packet buffer = 1.
2) Select the Device Value you want to use (e.g. multiplied by 100)
3) Save options.
Setting Options on GEM:
1) Update the firmware on your GEM to the latest version (recommend).
2) Connect to your GEM via a web browser, then enter setup mode.
3) Select Packet Send, then select a primary packet format of 5: Bin48-NET and select an 8 sec send internal.
4) If you are connected via Serial, then no additional changes are needed.
5) Under Network > Remote Host, enter the IP address of your HomeSeer system and port 8000, then click Save. This is server mode, so you'll want to use client mode within the UltraECM2 plug-in (e.g. 0.0.0.0:8000).
Setting Options on the ECM-1240:
1) Default options should work. You want to the output in binary format.
Setting Initial Device Configuration:
1) From UltraECM2 > Devices, enter a device serial number of 1 (of if you have the serial number, you can enter it).
2) Enter the device name (e.g. Basement)
3) Select the Brultech Device Type (e.g. GreenEye)
4) Select the connection type (e.g. Ethernet or Serial). If you select Serial, you'll need to enter COM:1 (or whatever com port you use). If you select Ethernet, you'll need to enter the IP_address
ort for server mode or 0.0.0.0ort for client mode.
5) Click the + icon to add the device. The initial add may take a few seconds on slow computers, so please wait for it to complete.
6) The plug-in should connect to your Brultech device within 1 minute.
Known Issues:
1) Energy cost and energy rates.
2) Database logging for pulse counters and temperature sensors.
3) The main and net devices under UltraECM > Channels don't do anything yet.
3) IE 10 users must use browser compatibility mode to view the charts.
