Aeon Home Energy Meter ZW095-A

I just ended up using the stock driver, I'm only using 1 clamp on my electric dryer to detect if it's running so I don't need the extra features of this driver.

I also used the basic zwave configuration tool that Mike Maxwell provides to configure the settings to my needs.

Hi, is the driver compable with the ZW095-3P4 aswell?
It´s the 3 clamp, 3-fase version.
Or are there any other drivers out there for it?

I am also trying to know if the 2 clamps monopase version works? I would like to install two of these to monitor all my house..

Have you got a web link to the device description ??

Curious if anyone is getting actual Energy readout (accumulated power usage,) on their OG HEM? I swear I used to get this info on Hubitat, but I haven't seen it in some time. The instantaneous power updates quite well. Using the built-in device driver. The laundry DTH also does not report accumulated power. I'd like to create an automation that notifies me with daily power costs.

I'm using this and it works w/ my V5. IIRC it took a while for everything to sort itself out, so set it and be patient

I've just installed a new Aeontec HEM Gen 5 and using @cuboy29's V0.9 driver, but in my dashboard tiles, I'm missing a lot of options... Also, I see that in Aeotec's documentation, there seems to be a lot more available attributes - does anyone have a more up to date version of the driver that can access all those other attributes, by any chance?

Link to the Parameter page from Aeotec:

I do have a driver for this device but I do not want to get into a support role if I release it in a thread to the public. This device is complicated and hard to understand for many. It took me a bit to wrap my head around how the parameters worked.

If you check my github it is there. It implements all the functionality that the device supports as far as I can tell. I wrote it from scratch because I wasn't jazzed about the drivers I could find available.

I don't have a release thread for this driver on purpose. The driver has issues because of hub limitations (no official multi-select support in preferences primarily). Be ready for a little wonkiness.

Thanks @codahq! I replaced the driver to yours and it seems to do exactly whatI need. If you ever want to make changes and are in need of someone to help test it, let me know. I would be more than happy to help!

You are a genius, really, don't hide those gems to others!

Thanks

I'm curious what you guys think of the driver. Is it easy to use and understand? Does it make sense? This was a tricky device for me to implement all of the functionality on.

I like it. It is easy to use and provides the information I need for my Dashboard. I must say I found a couple of other drivers out there that each have their advantages, but of all those available, yours is the best.

I notice there are 3 "Report Group X Reports *" fields that I haven't played around with - not sure what those do... Same for the "Selective Reporting" toggle.

One thing that I will be doing but haven't done yet as an extract of the data from this and other devices to an external DB for reporting. Once I get to that, I will be interested to see how works with that.

The driver puts some instruction and hints in the state variables. If you go back to the device edit page and reload it the hints will be there. If you also read the manual you will get an idea of what the report groups do.

Most of the drivers I saw hardcoded the report groups to specific reports and chose for the user what they would see. I decided to open all of the functionality up and let the user decide.

If you haven't hit configure yet (don't unless you want it to change your parameters) you are still running with the hardcoded configuration of a previous driver. The report groups and report interval lets you fully customize what the meter sends and how often. The selective reporting lets you minimize the watts reports in any of those reporting groups.

Are you referring to this page?

I am wondering to which manual you are referring - I have browsed at the documentation referenced earlier in this thread - I'll have to look at it again and pay more attention. :slight_smile:

I really like the idea of opening up the functionality to the user! Thanks for that! And at the risk of repeating myself, I really, really like your driver! The questions above I am mostly asking out of curiosity... I am pretty new still to Hubitat (a little over 3 months now) and am really enjoying the learnings!

Yep, I'm talking about that page. It won't populate the hints until you've used my driver to save preferences. Again, don't save preferences unless you want it to change your reporting groups. If you like your HEM the way it is you should find out what your reporting groups are set to before you change them. I don't have any defaults set so you have to choose your own. If you like the ones chosen for you I guess you can always get them back from the other drive though.

Manual being the user guide, yes. So, here is a PDF version of it:

And here is basically the same information from Aeotec's website:

Towards the end they talk about the reporting groups and options.

thank you @codahq for working on this device driver.

I am trying to get this work with RM and having some issues. Using the driver above I am trying to use "current" as a trigger and when I do I get a blank white screen in RM and the following errors in the log.

rule log

driver log

Also I cannot get it to report clamp 1 and 2 current separately, but that is minor in comparison to the RM issue.

Any thoughts?

Are you certain you have a ZW095-A? I just mention because I have a DSB09 that I thought was a ZW095-A and was having all kinds of trouble getting both clamps working.

Yeah pretty certain

I have a G2 that is marked as a Gen 5 on the outside. What did the device say it is in the data section?

It looks like you have it securely joined or something or that's a different version of firmware than I've dealt with. I don't ever see mine using encapsulation that isn't handled. Maybe it's something I haven't done in the parameters. How do you have the parameters set up?

I left most us this default.

I did not join it securely intentional. My Z-Wave settings are just lock and Garage doors. Beyond that is there a way to check?
