Indigo Domotics

"What you have actually used from the grid and the real cost from the electricity supplier is shown in the Net Electricity device states" - yes, exactly.

So I'm just verifying that only "Net Electricity" used to calculate my paid electricity (from a grid) use, not generic electricity device (which is summarizing solar + grid)

p.s. yes, Swindon is a bit better than many other regions in England in terms of weather

Yes, exactly - you are verifying correctly

The Electricity Device is showing your total house usage, the Net Electricity Device is showing how much of that has been taken from the grid and the Saved Electricity Device is showing how much you have taken from the Solar PV. So Net + Saved = Total (as in the Electricity device).

The iOS Smappee App only shows your total house usage and provides a cost for that (if you have entered the electricity rates in the App). This doesn't make much sense in terms of cost because you will actually only be charged by your electricity supplier for your net usage.

Yep, Smappee native app is quite stupid. No standing charges as well...

It seems that "appliances" are not working anymore.

From the iOS app all events shown (and current use), but Indigo device - always zero load and usage.

I'm using this functionality to monitor my BMW i3 electricity usage as well as electrical heaters in the house...

Thanks for the report - I will take a look at it now

Fixed the issue (I hope) + a couple of other minor fixes

New version can be downloaded from here: Autolog Smappee V2.0.1 Plugin

Let me know if the problem is resolved - thanks

However the point you make about being able to view historical data is good and is something I have been thinking about. I will have a think about how to do this. I would also like to be able to get the plugin to upload data to pvoutput.org - maybe for version 3

I have started looking at this and at what would be needed to capture and upload the data to pvoutput.org and then discovered that there is 'automatic uploads' for the Smappee already available which can be configured in the pvoutput.org settings - just saved myself a bunch of work and means I can retire a small MS Windows computer that was managing this task sooner than I was planning for.

I have (in testing) implemented SQLite DB processing in the plugin to capture and save the Smappee data, I just now need to work out what to do with the captured data.

"Smappee already available which can be configured in the pvoutput.org"

Nice discovery - never knew

I'm using SMA WebBox anyway to upload data - works nicely for 4 years...

I have a 3 phase connection to my home. Is it possible to display/get the wattage used by each phase?

I am not sure that it is having just taken a look at the Smappee API.

Have you got a Smappee with 3-phase connectors?

Yes I’ve got Smappee with a 3 phase connection plus single phase solar and it works well. Only thing is some loads on one of my phases seem to runaway.

While looking for a solution, I ran across something that the guys at domoticz are doing. Posting the link below. Don’t know if it’ll help.

After the 7.1.1 upgrade, I am getting the following error:

ReloadPlugin() caught exception: FileIOError -- cannot move: destination file exists

i am deleted the plugin and preference file. Also reinstalled the 7.1.1 version to ensure files permissions were correct and restarted the Mac Mini. Nothing seems to help

Any suggestions?

One more piece of info. Rolled back to version 1.0.3 of the plugin and it works. The issue is in the 2.1.2 version.

Restarted my Mac today and the plugin's lost all my settings.
When I re-enter it tells me:
Error creating debug folder - please correct error.

Help?

I think this can be resolved by changing the location of the debug folder in the plugin config. I suspect the current location has a permissions problem.
The Smappee plugin is pre-Indigo 7 and therefore the logging was done differently to how it is now done in Indigo 7.
