Hi there, firstly, thanks for this makes my life alot easier (hopefully). I have an e2 and will be hooking up a Wemos mini this weekend... I checked out the pic that you posted with the E2 and was wondering where you grounded the ESP...? as it does not show on the picture

Hi, thanks for the question. Just use the solder pad where the negative battery terminal would have connected.

Cool.... Thanks again

Sorry to bug you...just 2 more questions: 1) How did you connect the dataout to the Wemos? The pin input is 3.3v and I assume dataout is 5v...I tried putting a AMS1117 3.3 in between but maybe I am stupid but that does nothing. Resistor?

2) In the serial output I get this : {"MQTT":"CONNECTED"} Efergy filter is in Blacklist Mode. TX in List: [NONE] Running... but I only see the following in MQTT:

/EfergyMQTT/Online True ?

IS that normal?

I changed the topic in the ino file to have a leadning / as all my topics have leading / .. would that break something? (PS....just changed it back to your code default...now in serial I see the sub message)

Thanks again

Hi,

  1. You can safely hook the ESP up directly to the Dataout pin, the receiver chip runs at about 2.7v, so no need for any converters.
  2. It appears you are registering successfully with your MQTT server, but not receiving any data from an Efergy Transmitter. Check the data connection from the wemos to the efergy data out pin.

See how you go.

All set up and still getting nothing other then online true on mqtt:

Here is the serial output as I have enabled debug

How do I find the TX number to add ?

Thanks again for the help

Update: I notived that the string ended in CS....so found the checksumok check....I hacked the Check to report true and now it works great??? any idea why that would be?

Hi there, its me again :).... This has been working fine since yesterday,,, graphing nicely in emoncms..when I checked the MQTT server this morning there are thousands of entries for different TX names:

EfergyMQTT/1036/Interval1 EfergyMQTT/1036/Online1 EfergyMQTT/1036/Type1 EfergyMQTT/1036/Voltage1 EfergyMQTT/1036/Watt1 EfergyMQTT/10368/BattOK1 EfergyMQTT/10368/Interval1 EfergyMQTT/10368/Online1 EfergyMQTT/10368/Type1 EfergyMQTT/10368/Voltage1 EfergyMQTT/10368/Watt1 EfergyMQTT/10388/BattOK1 EfergyMQTT/10388/Online1 EfergyMQTT/10388/Type1 EfergyMQTT/10388/Voltage1 EfergyMQTT/104/Online1 EfergyMQTT/104/Type1 EfergyMQTT/104/Voltage1 EfergyMQTT/1040/BattOK1 EfergyMQTT/1040/Interval1 EfergyMQTT/1040/Online1 EfergyMQTT/1040/Type1 EfergyMQTT/1040/Voltage1

This is a small sample there are thousands...is there a way of stopping this?

hardtechnology commented 7 years ago

Hi, Sorry for the delay. You can use the blacklist/whitelist feature to only accept your own ID number. From your previous debug information and above it appears there is a lot of interference on the frequency band the Efergy is using. I have seen this when the transmitter and receiver are either too close, or too far away. If you aren't getting any valid information, your Efergy may be running a different protocol, as there are a couple of different standards.
