These are now available on the website.

Barry - Have you gotten these in yet from Aeon?

[myhomeserver]

My Aeon Labs Smart Energy Module arrived yesterday and I have it paired and connected to my elec panel (dual clamp model)

So, MCV, how do I get this working?  It shows as a generic I/O - and shows and ON/OFF switch.  Can you guys chime in and let me know how I can start using the tracking in this module?   What Plugin is needed if any?

Thanks!

I am trying to get an update so I can notify everybody.

Did they send you a version to test with? I'm still waiting for a shipping notification from ASI.

Yes, I have a hardware sample for testing and I'm getting started on the review as soon as I get it working with Vera.   I'll post my results here in this thread and a link to the review when it's up.   MCV, can  you guys comment on this sensor and if it works with Vera?

Not sure if I'm imagining it but there seems to be a new plugin called "energy alerts and profiling" and I'm wondering if this is anything to do with the energy monitors?

Tried installing those plugins, I get errors.    MCV, any help here would be appreciated!

We're getting those ready for the next UI4 beta; unfortunately we had to change the download process, so the current beta can't get them correctly from the marketplace.

To summarize the functionality:

- the 'Energy Monitor' plugin uses the 'Watts' field that you can fill on some devices, then monitors the on/off/dimmer status to calculate the actual power used.  Every half hour reports the total and peak usage to your account on the MiOS servers.  You can see the resulting statistics and graphs on the 'energy' tab on findvera.com.

- the 'Energy Alerts & Profiling' has two different functionalities:

  1: A reimplementation (in Lua) of the 'energy' icon in the toolbox: at the set times it checks some limits you set (number of lights on, thermostat, total (calculated) power) and if you've exceeded them, sends a notification.

  2: lets you measure actual power usage of all your lights and thermostats controlled by Vera using a power meter.  it starts by turning them all off to note the 'base' reading.  then turns on each one to read the difference.  When finished writes a text file with the findings and sends a notification.

javier, do you know the date when U14 will be released ?

@Barry - Any word from Aeon?

[ASIHome]

Aeon Labs got back to me with an update. They didn't have any in the US Warehouse so we had to get them from overseas. We are now expecting our next shipment from Aeon Labs on 6/30 which will include the Home Energy Meters.

Thank you.

I am really hopeful this product works as well as I think it will.  I just need it to be properly supported by Vera.

I am planning on ordering two of the 2 phase units.  One for the house, and one for my barn & motorhome.

So far no word from MCV on how these work with Vera. I've had mine paired and connected to my panel with the 2 clamps since Monday but no idea on how to use it.   

Anyone?  MCV?

[TheGadgetGuy]

That's somewhat frustrating.

If I was to make a guess, I would assume we won't get functionality in the energy monitor until after UI4 is released. Right now, that is a more pressing issue to MCV in my opinion.

Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long...
