Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

Do you think its related to software library of arduino ? or TTL 5V to 3.3V Converter issue ? I don't think so as the 2 pzem are connected on the same module, so same software library ; I also don't use any converters and connected 5V to GPIO directly. This is not conventional but I wanted to make ...

Re: Flowmeter FS300A on Wemos D1 Mini, How to calculate?

Hi ! My experience with those flow-meters is the documentation is never right (or I never found the right documentation !!) ! So I always calibrate them after the espeasy setup is operational : I send 10 or 20 litres though the flow-meter with a funnel, making sure to send them quick enough as they ...

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

I have two pzem connected to my wemos ; I've also got this problem on one of them :-( I never understood what was the cause, I simply ignore wrong reading in domoticz. Not very satisfying, but enough for my purpose

Yes... but I stopped at 2 modules because I didn't like the solution I programmed... I need to work again on this subject ;-)

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

Yes, it's not that surprising : once in a while a value is not coming, triggering the timeout (1s each) and the retry (3 times). It's been reported the quality of 5v supply have an influence on this. If you want to be able to poll faster, you need to edit the source code to shorten the timeout and n...

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

@asking

When everything goes well, one module answer within 1s. But if you poll faster than 12s/module, your espeasy will crash in case of no measurment voltage.
And, of course I tested the bin file, I uploaded the one I'm using here, it's been up for 50 days now and doing the job fine :-)

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

@ruben : yes, I connected them directly without resistor to a wemos d1 mini. Pzem is powered with 5v, I read somewhere the wemos can handle 5v on the gpio pins, I wanted to test. So far it's working fine, but it's only ~20 days of continuous power up. We will see if it last :-) @gajotnt : I'll try t...

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

I can understand :). This issue is now purely related to domoticz and not espeasy. So far, espeasy is doing the job correctly :) If it's ok for you all, I'll open a thread on the domoticz forum and upload a detailed tutorial over there. It'll be this week-end as I have no time for this during the we...

Re: Support for PZEM 004T Energy monitor

Hi! Regarding domoticz code, you have two choices : - either you copy it in the domoticz/script/lua folder with a name ending by _device.lua eg pzem_device.lua - either you go to the tools menu->more-> events, create a new "lua" "device" script named as you want and replace the d...

Some remarks/comments about the plugin itself : - RX and TX indications on the device page are somewhat confusing as there are referring to the pins on the esp side , so they have to be reversed compared to the pzem side.
