sr-g / current-cost-forwarder Goto Github PK

Hello,

I know it is two years since last update, but I was just hoping you can help me. I did managed to make it work on my Synology. I'm able to use forwarder and receive data into my openHab. But for some reason i cannot split reading between different IAM's. When I add this code:

current-cost-forwarder.sh --broker-topic 'metrics/current-cost/${id}/'

I'm getting this output without proper ID, so I cannot use it.

09:48:08.037 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-MQTT] INFO org.tensin.ccf.forwarder.mqtt.ForwarderMQTT - Forwarding event #9 EventWatts : timestamp [1504774087976], watts [89] on topic [metrics/current-cost/${id}/watts]

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Serge

Firstly thanks for implementing this software. My system has been running very well for a while now, and I am able to look at my 3 phase power consumption via Openhab. I would be very interested to see the Current Cost history data as well. I could probably implement rules in Openhab to integrate the power readings and generate the energy used over a period, but it would be much cleaner to use the history data emitted by the Envi device.

At first I would just be interested in the most recent history items i.e. h002, d001, m001 and would use Openhab's persistence tools to store and graph these items. In future I might also want the rest of the history. If the Current Cost Forwarder published all the history data with appropriate topics, users could simply subscribe to the history items they were interested in.

Hopefully this would not be too difficult to implement.

Regards
Nigel

Hi,

Trying this out on a Raspberry Pi, I just seem to get lots of Now Connected messages.

First of all: great piece of software!

I was just wondering if and how support for the currentcost IAM's can be built into the program? I am truely not a coding expert (am runninging the Perl code below now to post the values from the currentcost to my Emoncms installation, but prefer to go to MQTT)

Hi.

I'm trying to get this to work on my ubuntu x86 installation. My CurrentCost device is actually connected to the same computer as I'm running both the MQTT broker and OpenHab on, but i guess that should be irrelevant (i could not find any other solution for using CurrentCost with OpenHab).

After startup, the current-cost-forwarder stops after this:
21:32:39.593 [main] INFO org.tensin.ccf.reader.CurrentCostReader - Starting CurrentCostForwarder reader thread on device [/dev/ttyUSB1]
21:32:39.596 [main] INFO org.tensin.ccf.CurrentCostForwarder - CurrentCostForwarder started in [508ms]
21:32:39.603 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-READER] INFO org.tensin.ccf.reader.CurrentCostReader - Now connected on specified device [/dev/ttyUSB1]

It never starts forwarding events to MQTT. If i start it with the debug flag, i can see that it actually receives data from my CurrentCost:

etc.

cat /dev/ttyUSB1 works ok:
CC128-v1.290101802:10:0723.5003344101229

Any ideas of where it's failing?

-AB

Edit: Forgot to mention, the MQTT broker seems to work fine. I've tested it with mosquitto_sub and mosquitto_sub w/o any problems (no authentication). I also set --broker-url "tcp://localhost:1883" in current-cost-forwarder.sh.

Not sure whether you use any IAM's, and need to separate the wattage data?

From what I can see, all the data is pushed into the same topic.

08:43:24.497 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-READER] INFO org.tensin.ccf.forwarder.mqtt.ForwarderMQTT - Forwarding event #5 EventWatts : watts [2] on topic [metrics/current-cost/watts]
08:43:26.976 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-READER] INFO org.tensin.ccf.forwarder.mqtt.ForwarderMQTT - Forwarding event #6 EventTemperature : temperature [22.6] on topic [metrics/current-cost/temperature]
08:43:27.049 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-READER] INFO org.tensin.ccf.forwarder.mqtt.ForwarderMQTT - Forwarding event #7 EventWatts : watts [151] on topic [metrics/current-cost/watts]

Here is a debug example of an IAM, with an alternate id ...

08:57:58.213 [THREAD-CURRENT-COST-FORWARDER-READER] DEBUG org.tensin.ccf.reader.CurrentCostReader - Now processing XML [CC128-v1.290163910:36:5622.5103047100002]

So, all the data that comes through is not able to be identified, AFAIK. Unless, I'm missing something.
