QuickApp - P1 Monitor power consumption ⚡️

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

This Quickapp retrieves energy consumption, energy production, gas and water usage from the (P1 Monitor) energy, gas and water meter. 
This Quickapp uses the software of ztatz.nl to get the values from your smart energymeter. 
The ztatz plug-and-play software can run on a Raspberry Pi or in a Docker container. 

 

The Energy consumption and energy production are added to the HC3 energy panel. 
Use the child devices Todays Consumption and Todays Production to store energy data (kWh) in the Energy Panel. 
And use the child devices Consumption and Production for instantaneous power (Watt) in the Energy Panel calculations.

Interval: 
It is possible to process messages from the smart meter every second. Of course, this is only possible if the smart meter actually sends a message every second. This can be turned on via the ztatz software P1 port configuration page via the "maximum processing speed" option. Note that this gives a higher load on the Rpi (or Docker). It has been tested on the Rpi3/Rpi4 and works well on it. Older or other RPIs have not been tested.

The P1 Monitor QuickApp uses 2 API calls each cycle, and if you also use Waterflow, 3 API calls each cycle. With an interval setting of 10 seconds there is an API call every 5 seconds (and with Waterflow enabled, every 3.33 seconds). So the fastest interval setting will probably be 3 seconds with Waterflow and 2 seconds without Waterflow.

Hi @marcelo pires

 

If you use the P1 Monitor quickapp, you need to have a P1 Monitor with the ztatz.nl software running. The quickapp will try to get the data from the P1 Monitor. 
 

The Quickapp will sum all energy consumption of your Fibaro devices, who register energy consumption. In de childdevice “device consumption” the energy usage is shown. 

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

Found it ?

[ptekien 2]

Hello, could you share this QA because I have the same problem with another device and it doesn't read to me from the table. If it works for you, I can do it for my use. Regards

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

For latest version, see first post

Which P1 monitor are you using?

A new version with al lot of changes is available:

• Changed routine te get Energy Device ID's fast (no more maxNodeID needed)
• Added "Update Devicelist" button to update the Energy devicelist
• Added Tarifcode High and Low (and empty for flat fee)
• Rounded Consumption and Production to zero digits Watt
• Added Quickapp variable for debug level (1=some, 2=few, 3=all). Recommended default value is 1. 
• Re-aranged the labels
• Cleaned up some code

 

Version 1.1:

• And solved a bug when powerID = 0

 

 

So to calculate the power consumption of your devices, the maxNodeID is no longer necessary. The Quickapp searches all devices with power consumption every time the Quickapp is started or whenever you use the  "Update Devicelist" button.

wow, i wish a day i'll be able to code like you!

one newby question, do you think can i use this code if i got a z-wave energy meter? 

i have bought aeotec zw095-c 1p energy meter gen5, i want to make it work..

what have i to set in your varible?

 

IP address : have the only ID ad it does not have an IP address,

 

power ID: aeon have id 245 so i filled 245

interval 10

 

debug 1

 

i guess it's not possible to use this code in mine situation.. is it correct?

 

got you any suggestion?

tks!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

No, sorry @MarcoSmartForYou, it will definitely not work. It is a completely different device. 

[MarcoSmartForYou 6]

what have you used? i think i'm going to throw it in the rubbish and buy another thing..

i'm going to renovate the house.. have you got some suggestion about some din rail hardware or something that you know it's going to work?

thank you again!

Hi @SmartHomeEddy, this sure looks nice!

There is one thing i don't understand, The P1 just gives you the global usage. Where do you get the detailed usage from? From smart plugs?

I am a wizzard  

 

No, the P1 Monitor has several API querys. Look on http://IPAddress/config-API.php. I don’t use any addons.

You can buy ready made Kits, see some links in the first post. Or you can order a Raspberry Pi and a cable from shops like AliExpress for less euro but longer delivery. 

[JaapvW 1]

Super interesting, going to have a look around and order a Raspberry Pi to test this! Looks like a lot of information.

 

Thank you for the contribution!

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

Thanks @JaapvW You're welcome. 

 

Those Raspberry Pi run smooth. Today @Winnetoe also got the Raspberry Pi running. In the next version of the quickapp also Voltage is included. I don't think there is much more to extract from the P1 Meter  

 

 

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

Version 1.3 is available, now also with child devices for Voltage (L1, L2, L3)

The only measurement left, is the Water Flow. Is anyone using a Water Flow Sensor?

[Winnetoe 2]

The Rasberry and P1 monitor works great
