[RELEASE] Tuya Zigbee Metering Plug (w/ healthStatus)

@kkossev Any update on a driver for a Tuya Zigbee power reporting plug?

I used the ‘Generic Zigbee Outlet’ driver and was able to turn it on and off with the app. Power reporting does not appear to work so I switched to the ‘Third Reality Power Meter Plug’ driver which still did not report power even though I set the threshold at 1 watt.

I see this AFTER I bought the Tuya trying to find a driver

And these are the details of the Tuya plug I bought

If you have managed to pair this plug to your C-8 (it’s very difficult!) and if you can control the on/off state using the HE inbuilt generic Zigbee driver, then the Tuya driver should also work with this device. You may see a warning in the logs that it is not supported, simply ignore it for now.

Do you see anything on the live logs when you turn the plug on/off from the physical knob?

I was unaware of this driver. Installed and reporting with my C-7

Thanks again.

There is a newer Frient energy monitor out. I ordered one that should arrive later this month.

Develco are one of the few Zigbee devices manufacturers that provide technical documentation for their products.

A sneak peek of the next version - what are the latest HE platform 'Status' column capabilities ... :grinning:

They are clearly an engineering company and high quality OEM. Do you know who they manufacture for other than Frient?

I think Frient is the only one.

So, do you think that Frient would be a company to look for when purchasing new Zigbee stuff, with an eye to quality, even if somewhat more expensive?

I'm located in the US. So far it doesn't look like Frient has a US distributor even though they have an office in CA. It's probably just a token engineering office or perhaps the investment folks.

Not sure if you are a technical person, but their docs are detailed enough to generate drivers for HE.

It'd have to take a fair amount of study for me to get into this. Maybe over the winter. :slight_smile:

@kkossev FYI: I received my Frient Monitor 2 and grabbed your driver.

I made one edit of this line:

private boolean isDevelco() { device.getDataValue("model") == "EMIZB-132" }

to
private boolean isDevelco() { device.getDataValue("model") == "EMIZB-141" }

And it seems to work. I have not put it through many tests though.

I'm saddened that this device isn't waterproof at all. Looks like its meant for the indoors. Probably why it's not sold in the US where almost all meters are outdoors. I'll have to extend the sensor leads and waterproof the sensor with some conformal coatings etc.

Hi, what driver did you start with? I have a EMIZB-132 but cannot find that driver. Thanks in advance!

The driver from the first post of this thread.

Thanks, I reinstalled the driver from HPM and now I see that it is included.

Please post the device details ( the model and the manufacturer) that can be found at the bottom of this device web page in HE.

Yes sorry, actually is identical as the other

This is the “State Variables”

Please post the “Device Details “ section -can be found at the bottom of the page.
