hmm..... for electricity i could also use the "blinker".... it has 10000<br>
pulses for each KW/h... i have tried to look at it just before bed time<br>
where everything is off.... if i remember correct it was one blink every<br>
4 sec max....<br>
<br>
and with that it was only modem on the tv cable on plus fridge.... not<br>
much else...<br>
<br>
i just hope when they change it in a few months it will be the same<br>
res.....<br>
<br>
then again is using CT's better? of course the more precise the better<br>

I think you should be able to get one EMonTX to do the job. One word<br>
of warning, though. The current measuring setup on the EMonTx "out<br>
of the box" has about 100A full scale, and I think the resolution at<br>
"normal" levels of current draw is not really sufficient for<br>
measuring domestic background consumption.<br>
<br>
I gather from your post that you have 3 phase incoming mains as<br>
opposed to the single phase domestic supplies that are normal here<br>
in the UK. Since your consumption is split between 3 phases, current<br>
resolution will be all the more important.<br>
<br>
It's a while since I looked into it, but it might be worth figuring<br>
out what the resolution will be with the emontx and the current<br>
transformers you are using.<br>
<br>
I believe there was a design posted somewhere on the OEM forums for<br>
a current measuring setup with range switching to give better<br>
resolution.<br>
<br>

Morning Kevin<br>
<br>
Its not on purpose that I pester you so much about this, its<br>
more that<br>
i'm just a 2nd rate PCB monkey and not a very good programmer :-D<br>
<br>
But it makes sense to go for 868, i did not think of the conrad<br>
valves.<br>
<br>
Logging this morning heat up of hot water to arduino serial<br>
console and<br>
then my plan is to get the 3 CT's i have back in the fuse box ( they<br>
barely fit)<br>
<br>
is my logic ok here;<br>
<br>
1 emon TX v2 should cover all i need in utility closet:<br>
<br>
<br>
heat meter with 2 ways IR com (2 digital pins)<br>
water meter with bouncy reed switch (1 digital pin)<br>
electricity with 3 ct's and one AC<br>
<br>
if any pins left then i allready have one DS18B20 chip in the<br>
top pocket<br>
of the hot water cylinder<br>
<br>
<br>
can one emon TX do the job or do i need 2?<br>
<br>

Hi Bo,<br>
<br>
Been sidetracked onto getting a "boiler node" working for a<br>
second<br>
home before winter arrives (that's also loosely OEM / Opentrv<br>
related, so I'm going in the right general direction!) for the<br>
moment but I haven't forgotten about getting OEM working on<br>
the OpenTrv!<br>
<br>
I would say go for 868, on the basis that the OpenTRV stuff<br>
is fixed<br>
at this due to the rad. valves. That said, the OEM stuff<br>
I'm playing<br>
with is 433, due to some other requirements I have.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
Kevin<br>

Just so i dont shoot myself in the foot, but what freq<br>
should i<br>
choose<br>
when getting OEM stuff?<br>
<br>
I want to plan ahead so that the RFM12Pi module from<br>
OEM also can be<br>
used to talk to OpenTRV units...<br>
<br>
I have just figured how to read out my Heat Meter from<br>
the IR<br>
optical<br>
interface which is a 2 way port that requires that you<br>
send data and<br>
then get data back... so it was not as easy as you<br>
would expect...<br>
<br>
now my next step is to get ready to log the data, for<br>
that i<br>
need a pi<br>
of course and then the radio module and their emontx<br>
v3... with some<br>
clever thinking that emontx should be able to monitor<br>
both water,<br>
electricity and heat at the same time...<br>
<br>
<br>
@Kevin: any progress on talking to OpenTRV units from OEM ?<br>
