Support for A9MEM1580

[tilentravnik]

In our setup, we are using several A9MEM1580 devices. It would be great to have them supported. Happy to send you one of the devices to include it into the integration.

Currently, the device is compatible, though not feature complete.

These are the ones that are currently missing:

Here's a brief list of what's missing;

• RMS current on Neutral
• Reactive power on phase
• Total reactive power
• Apparent power on phase
• Power factor on phase
• Power factor sign convention
• AC frequency
• Device internal temperature
• Total active energy delivered/received (not resettable)
• Set partial active/reactive energy delivered/received counter. The value returns to zero by PowerTag Link gateway.
• Partial active/reactive energy received/delivered (resettable)
• Active/Reactive/Apparent energy (on phase) delivered/received (resettable)

If you would like me to implement them, please send a device over so that I can test with it locally.

Hi,

I also use 1 of these tools. Unfortunately I can't see the energy used in the energy consumption sheet :( Can you help me?

[Breina]

What do you mean with 'the energy consumption sheet'? Are you looking for one of the things as described above?

There is an entity for 'total energy', is that what you are looking for?

[Friedmann77]

Hi,

I was thinking of the Homa Assistant "Energy" tab (Energy dashboard). I have an A9MEM1520 and an A9MEM1580 sensor. The 1520 works fine. For the 1580 I don't get partial energy data, so it doesn't show up on the chart.

[Breina]

Is just this entity missing, or the device all together? Can you check if you find it within the devices section?

Also please check that it's correctly configured in the PowerTag Link GUI.

[Friedmann77]

I see it in the devices. The entity also exists, but takes on an "unknown" value. Other values (voltage, current, pf, etc.) are visible.

The partial energy is visible on the web interface of the data collection unit, it just doesn't come through to the Home Assistant. What am I doing wrong? Should I try to delete the device in HA and add it again?

[Breina]

It's not you. I haven't fully supported yours yet. The ones I use for testing is the first one, but yours uses a separate register; the last one.

I'll give it a shot to implement the above, though bear in mind that I can't test it myself.

[Friedmann77]

Okay. Thank you very much for your help!

[Breina]

Alright I've pre-released v0.1.5. Please test and give feedback.

[Friedmann77]

Hello!

I've overridden the files in the custom_components folder and restarted Home Assistant. This should be enough, or do I need to delete the gateway and add it again? The following values are still missing: partial energy (unknown), partial reactive energy received (unknown), total active energy (unknown), total energy (unavailable). Thank you for your efforts!

[Breina]

This should be enough, or do I need to delete the gateway and add it again?

Should be enough, specially since the entities that are giving you problems are new ones.

Let me check these for you, please hold on.

Partial energy

Does seem to work for me, though there can be gaps in the data sometimes. Is this broken on your A9MEM1520 or A9MEM1580 sensor, or both? It's possible that your A9MEM1580 doesn't support this one, as it has more detailed entities available.

partial reactive energy received

Might it be possible that your powertag just hasn't received any reactive energy? My code does look valid on this one.

total active energy

My bad, you should have been seeing this on your A9MEM1580. Fixed this one in v.0.1.6.

Fixing this one will enable reactive power, frequency and temperature for this PowerTag as well. :)

total energy

No longer used, please delete.

[Friedmann77]

Thank you very much, everything is working fine. What do I owe you?

[Breina]

Nothing lol.

Though if you know someone inside Schneider, I've got some devices on my wish list that would help further development.

Our PowerTag Links are being discontinued end of this year, I'm looking to support its replacement but I can't justify the cost.

[Friedmann77]

I'm afraid I don't know anyone at Schneider. I do have a friend who has a business relationship with them. If you need information, they might be able to help, but I can't promise. Thank you again.

[Breina]

I would already be great if your friend could connect me with someone on the inside. :)

Been getting the cold shoulder from the forums / regional sales.
