Plugwise

[TANE 12]

For powermanagement in my house I'm using Plugwise.

Plugwise can also turn device On/Off

Basic control from het HC2 to Plugwise is possible via HTTP call's

I can turn On/Off plugs via virtual devices.

I like to have more control and also know the power consumption of some device.

My PV (Solar panels) are also connected to plugwise.

Depending on power production you can trigger other scene

Example when having more than 800watt power production you will know there is high sun you can than trigger the screens to go down.

Looking of someone who can help with some basic LUA code to get the fallowing info in HC2.

- Device Status

- Power consumption (Actual)

- Power consumption (history)

- Turn ON/Off

There is dome documentation about the Scripting Engine

@Tane - are you still looking for answers on how to do this?

About a year ago I made the switch to 100% zwave.

Since few weeks ago some Plugwise modules for my PV systeem and car charging

Bothe need more that 3500W what is not available in zwave.

Second problem is I need a good trustable usage calculation. Plugwise is still one of the best

Plugwise schedul will turn on /off for the car charging.

It will be nice to have a solution to override that via Fibaro…just http command for turning on/off the plugwise module what is connected via Strech…

Going to search for that command…

Why not more than 3500W? You can use the new Aeon that takes 9600 W or 40 A. And it measures consumption. Perhaps not fully intregated with HC2 yet but it probably will be since it is a long awaited product I would assume.

WHy not just a Fibaro uni sensor and a proper industrial relay? You can have those as large as you want and they can be triggered by almost anything. Shouldn't take an electrician very much time to hook that up for you - and the relays can be bought relatively cheap - especially if you keep below approx 63 A which is the normal limit for household incommers.

How would you use a UBS for that? There is no way to control the switch unless you connect something to the input to switch it. It makes more sense in that case to user a normal 2x1.5kW or 3kW switch to control a larger relay in that case.

The Aeon is nice in that it is simple to install and no further boxes or other stuff is needed. An industrial relay controlled by another switch obviosuly makes any load possible.

[Dalle1985 16]

Okay - I wasn't aware that the UBS was so dumb that you can't control the output directly from the HC. The 2x1,5 or 3 kw will work just as well - they are just more expensive and there is no reason to use such a large relay if you could use the binary - but if that can only switch the output based on the input that isn't an option.

The Aeon won't make do if you have a large EV charger... They charge with 10+ kW. I've been considering a Tesla and the wall charger I want for that will pull approx 13 kW. So if that is the case for Tane, the Aeotec relay wont be big enough.

As mentioned previously you would just use a standard Fibaro single relay contact to operate the coil of a larger contactor, such as the 25kw on below. This then enables you to fuse the separate circuits accordingly also.

Please be mindful of mixing DC with AC circuits as the contact rating of relays and fusing requirements are totally different, so I would definitely go down the route of a separate contactor with DC rated fuses on the secondary side.
