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

Morning Kevin<br>
<br>
Its not on purpose that I pester you so much about this, its 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 valves.<br>
<br>
Logging this morning heat up of hot water to arduino serial 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 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 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 the OpenTrv!<br>
<br>
I would say go for 868, on the basis that the OpenTRV stuff is fixed<br>
at this due to the rad. valves. That said, the OEM stuff 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 should i<br>
choose<br>
when getting OEM stuff?<br>
<br>
I want to plan ahead so that the RFM12Pi module from 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 the IR<br>
optical<br>
interface which is a 2 way port that requires that you send data and<br>
then get data back... so it was not as easy as you would expect...<br>
<br>
now my next step is to get ready to log the data, for that i<br>
need a pi<br>
of course and then the radio module and their emontx v3... with some<br>
clever thinking that emontx should be able to monitor both water,<br>
electricity and heat at the same time...<br>
<br>
<br>
@Kevin: any progress on talking to OpenTRV units from OEM ?<br>
