Let's Control It

You mean something like this? On SDM630_L1#All Do // Receives 4 arguments, 1st one is already sent to the controller, so can be ignored Publish,domoticz/in,'{"command":"udevice","idx":2282,"nvalue":0,"svalue":"%eventvalue2%"}' // Current L1...

As I read your explanation; my case was coincidence and bad luck.
Happy with this forum

PieterS

Thanks Gijs,

You are right! Again!

I learned: a reboot in ESPEasy is not the same as a power-cycle.

Unfortunately I tested that option but the accesspoint started later; to slow.

Thnx again

PieterS

In the past, when I flashed the NodeMCU and I configured ESPeasy, the software chosed to select the router as accesspoint. That device was close to my desk. But when everything was up and running I decided to mount the NodeMCU in my garage. And than the signalstrengh was worse, even bad. So last wee...

PieterS

Hi all, especially Gijs, Yesterday I mounted the ESP and MAX485 TTL to RS485 on connectors to a circuitboard and build that in a case. All close to the meter. This afternoon I looked into ESPeasy and I was surprised that the readings of modbus were excellent! https://i.ibb.co/DYdqgkZ/Checksum.jpg ht...

PieterS

Hmm that's really strange. Is it possible the A/B might have been swapped between the MAX485 board and the Eastron? I have 2 MCU's flashed with the same firmware: One with HW serial config and one with SW serial config. I swapped them on the screw-terminal board. I did not swap any wiring. As all w...

PieterS

OK, since you have the pins on the ESP quite accessible via screw terminals, can you try other pins (using SW serial, or else you can't change the pins) Let's first disable all other tasks for Eastron, as you have at least on task 3 the RX and TX pins swapped in the config. So first let's see how i...

PieterS

No worries. My deficiency

PieterS

Thanks guys for all hints. I will pick this hobby up later in next weekend. Leaving for other hobby.
Let you know the results.

Build: ESP_Easy_mega_20230808_energy_ESP8266_4M1M Aug 8 2023

PieterS

I unchecked the checkbox of Serial console.

This are the results..
The meter is on. At least Voltage should be there..

The ESP reacts slow in this config.

PieterS

Gijs, You pointed out the bad checksum values to me. And asked to change the Serial Port to SW Serial. I am not an expert. So I think about what and how to change. But maybe I forgot something or made a mistake. Sorry for that. I Enabled Serial Port Console: https://i.ibb.co/P4Gqvg1/Serial-console...

PieterS

Have you tried running it using SW serial instead of HW serial, using the same pins? (I have asked this exact same question several times now) No, not yet. As I wrote in #73 Bericht door PieterS » 13 Aug 2023, 17:19 Sorry Gijs, not yet. Too many steps together for me. I will try that in a while. Ye...

PieterS

What is the fail/success rate for the Eastron messages now? It is running here on an ESP8266 and I hardly have any failed checksum messages: Checksum (pass/fail): 2636984/149 At this moment: Checksum (pass/fail): 158/4280 :oops: Did some tuning in Domoticz and the rule inESPeasy. Can the interval o...

PieterS

Sorry Gijs, not yet. Too many steps together for me. I will try that in a while.

Yes: chesum (pass/fail) is bad..

And let you know it here. Of course.

PieterS

I disabled because I read: You can also send the first value from rules to Domoticz by duplicating a Publish line, by sending %eventvalue1% to idx 25. In that case the Domoticz MQTT controller option in the plugin should be unchecked. I had in mind: the task sends the first message, the rule the res...

PieterS

Tested the software by loading the car and monitoring the meter.

A minor value like the sum of all current stays empty. Not that important

Thanks for all your good work

PieterS

Loading with 11 kW on "3 fase"

I miss some data..

But I guess i have to inform you in a different thread?

Sorry, my conclusion is to early. Sorry

PieterS

Serial Port Console is Unchecked.
I gonna load the car to give some work to the meter.

Be back in a while.

PieterS

Thnx Ton for all your information. I tried the SendToHttp-way in the CLI of ESPeasy but it gave FAILED. Sure about username and password.. As I prefer MQTT I copy/pasted your example of the rules set, checked the IDX and saved it. But it did not pass by in MQTT Explorer. So I tried to make it simple...

PieterS

That's why there is a market for a "scheidingstrafo".

For the better feeling.

PieterS

Thanks Gijs!

To be honest! I made a mistake

. Swapped TX and RX

Thank you very much for your suggestion! That made the difference! Very glad with it.

Now configuring the other tasks. Very glad with it.

Best regards

PieterS

Of course I have time! Thanks for all your time, effort and explanation. This morning I read a bit about this problem. I tried to download your latest or best beta-version of the energy-plugin in https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/4745 . And from your home-site.. But I was not sure abou...

Mooi nieuws! Fijn!

Zou je kunnen uitleggen hoe je dat voor elkaar hebt gekregen? Ik zou daar zeer mee geholpen zijn.

Met dank en vriendelijke groet

Pieter

PieterS

Sounds great! If I can test something, let me know. At the moment my alternative to read the meter is a Python-script on a Pi 4, developed for the older version of the SDM630 and a 1F model SDM120. I changed the value of registers according to the documentation of the SDM630 from https://www.google....

PieterS

I was to happy too soon. Load went to 100% and the esp crashes

Different experience. No crashes.

But no results from measurements...

I assume you did connect the A/B line too and only had it disconnected for the picture? Yes, I did.. I also connected power to the nodeMCU.

How are the DE/RE pins wired? Connected to the TX pin from the ESP? How are RX and TX wired to the MAX485 module? Are you sure they aren't swapped?

@Gijs: Thanks.

Even when I select as Model Type the Eastron SDM630, the output is for a single fase meter.

Is there a change to get more detailed info for every fase? I want to send the data to Domoticz.

PieterS

The build did fail, because of the bigger size of the added code. I've created a local build with the LIMIT_BUILD_SIZE compile-time option enabled, so it will fit.

Just to inform:
I have placed both sensors (old and new) near each other for the past 10 days. They got used to each other (it seems

) and both now present roughly the same values. Occasionally a difference of about 100 ppm. No spectacular differences.

PieterS

Thnx for info. I keep you informed.

PieterS

Thnx for reply. For now I put both sensors in the garage (without car) and wait for a couple of days. It's about 11 degrees, so not crowded at the moment. The ppm of the old one is 535 vs 725 Will see what happens. Hopefully the new sensor will follow the values of his soulmate. :D The old sensor gi...
