Meter Counter domoticz

[Insane84]

Hallo, thanks for this nice project.


I have a esp8266 on a smartmeter with 1000imp/kWh . The Problem is, that domoticz only count the actual consumption like 4 Counts, but dont add it to overall consumption. In the esp Web Interface it counts correct. Whats wrong with domoticz?

Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Germany

I guess you're using the standard "counter" in Domoticz instead of "Counter incremental" ?
The ESP will only send delta counts between messages to Domoticz.

[Insane84]

yes you are right.

But when I add a virtual sensor, i can only choose counter, and it's Type RFXMeter RFXMeter counter

I can't choose like


general and counter incremental

[Martinus]

Maybe you're using an older Domoticz version. The incremental counter is a recent add-on. I'm not sure which version has it.

[Insane84]

it works! thanks

domoticz showed me version 2.255 and no updates available.

Manual update, an now its 2.2877

it is any possibility to connect a esp8266 direct to a optical sensor like pulse counter, if yes are any schematic or photo?

thanks

If you have a meter with a flashing LED and wants to connect that to the ESP8266, you can use a module like http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1x-NEW-S ... 6,201409_2 - it comes with a photo diode and both analog and digital output. The digital output connect directly to a GPIO of the ESP8266. I have this used this exact module on my power meter for months

I have one of that module, but yesterday cant start working, can i connect to the same vcc/gnd that ESP8266?

[rtenklooster]

Yes. You have tot adjust The resistor untill The control led starts flashing.
I use The same PCB but i replaced The photodiode with a ldr.

Of course u should use The digital output pin.

Excuse my capital T.. Android seems tot like The.

sorry, but still not get worked, if i have all wire connect and turn on the esp, this dont get the ip so cant acess to web interface.
