HEM v5

Your power reading is negative. That might be a sign of misconfigured reporting groups. @codahq and myself have been working on detailed documentation, and a few minor tweaks to the driver.

Please review me new post here, and make sure the Reporting Groups are setup correctly.

Documentation and driver - Aeotec HEM (Gen 5) ZW095-A Driver

They should all be available

I'll review your documentation but in my instance negative is just fine. It's monitoring a home battery storage system, so power flows both ways depending on my PV generation and current usage.

Oh that make since. Post your reporting group selections and current states over there.

EDIT: also after you hit save preferences it will show the Reporting Group configs, c/p that on the other thread as well.

Mr stupid here but I have no idea how to select mutiple options using CTRL/COMMAND key. I use windows. I've googled it, tried various key combinations.
The normal windows method doesnt work (CTRL + click)

Just CTRL for windows it's Command on Mac. I'll update thanks!

OK.. so CTRL still doesn't work but i pumped some config data in using the Basic Z_Tool.I reloaded with the driver in your previous post and I can see them now.
I'm getting power and power 2 returned with data. I was expecting Power1/2 to be set, but what I have now is good. BTW my device has 3 CT clamps.. however I'm not using the third. I have something that seems to work so thank you very much. If you want me to do some futher testing , just ask.

Just for completeness it's £ in the UK, but again this doesnt matter as I'm not interested in this value but I bet some will be.

Wow... I didn't realise you had to save perferences before the CTRL selection method would work... so CTRL now works. Brill..

was that the very first 'save' after inclusion or something? Very odd and would like to document that if possible.

CTRL started to work after the first save preferences with your latest driver.

Thanks I was able to recreate the issue. I will document it as well and look into a solution.

Hubitat doesn't support multi-select in drivers all the way. Ask them to support multi-select preferences in drivers.

The reason your power readings are negative is because 1 or both of your clamps are installed backwards.

I have 3 clamps, there does not seem to be any option to select the 3rd clamp? Any ideas?

Look here they are... wonder what POWER is... maybe sub of all?

Power = Watts. I wrote them all out on the updated driver page. Watts are reported a bit differently then all the others (especially if you have selective reporting on). I'll looked into the 3rd clamp support and update the driver page.

Mick, I'm considering getting one of these units and I'd love to be able to monitor the power going to a sub-panel as well as the main. That does not seem to be a viable option and I'm thinking you are not a US user and that's why you have a 3-clamp model. Is that the case?

I can flesh out the 3 clamp support. It's in there but not completely finished because I didn't think it was actually possible with the models I saw available.

If I understand the Aeotec docs then the 3-clamp model is for European wiring, not US. But I'm sure they will appreciate your effort. :smiley:

Correct... I am a UK user. Strange we have something bigger than in the US (LOL)

The driver works great but I'm getting far too many events and it fills my database up quickly. Is their an easy way to cut back on the events put into the database?
