DennieDeGroot · July 2016

@mruiter I did move but I have still lots to do, my front and back garden are still a big sandbox at the moment

@Webster a option for a water meter should be no problem, this is probably only a small software change.

I currently have 2 units which I could send to Homey users. However the units do not have a casing, I can supply the plastic casing but the holes still need to be drilled manually. Soldering these units by hand takes a lot of time (1 - 2 hours) and then I still have to do the casing (1 hour). Producing them by a company is quite a big step and requires a lot of money. So I am not sure yet what the next step will be.

mruiter · July 2016

casing no problem. please let me know where i can send the money for 1 of those 2

i also still had a sandbox in the backyard last year. i posted a job on a klusjesmarktplaats and got a great deal from a gardner that did a hell of a job for less money i could do it for myself. Im realy glad i did not do it myself

Webster · July 2016

Same here casing no problem

send me a pm with the costs

and i am also able to solder smd so i can make a few if you want

Webster · September 2016

Testing

MarcelTimmermans · September 2016

I am also interested. Please send me a pm how i can order it...

Webster · September 2016

from the first tests it is looking good easy new device setup
still testing

Webster · September 2016

Ok small update unit is working fine insights also working

I am going to build a sensor for the water meter and test with that

Keep you posted

RobinVanKekem · September 2016

Nice!
Any pictures?

Update

Homey version 0.10.0

App is working

de unit is working except energy return measurement when having solar panels

working on a fix

RobinVanKekem · September 2016

Nice!
Keep them updates rolling in!

MarcelTimmermans · October 2016

any news?

Martinvdm · November 2016

@DennieDeGroot ; any News?
i would really like to buy one. Maybe we could join together our cummunity strenght to make the product finished.

RemcoHannink · November 2016

@RamonBaas, i tried your DSMR plugin, but running or installing results in:

invalid type for `driver[0].settings[1].children[0].value` in app.json, expected type boolean
invalid type for `driver[0].settings[1].children[1].value` in app.json, expected type boolean

I run Homey version 1.02. It looks like something in the API is changed ???

Gr, Remco

@RamonBaas, I solved this error by removing the double quotes around true in line 97 en 106 off app.json ??????

RemcoHannink · November 2016

@RamonBaas, and second, the node_modules/node-crc directory is empty resulting in another error.

Gr. Remco

MarcelTimmermans · November 2016

Hi,

I have build my own hardware in the meantime. Only need to write an app that show the data

RemcoHannink · November 2016

@MarcelTimmermans ;

Could you give some more information on your hardware? If it is also serial -> telnet based you can use the app Ramon wrote?

RamonBaas · November 2016

@RemcoHannink The node-crc module you can clone separately. I've committed the fixes on the app for the other issues you saw (had them locally, but forgot to push them).

I used an arduino board with a little bit of hardware and made software for it that push every 5 minutes all the values (so the telegram decoding is done on the arduino board) to my Synology NAS. This is always on. Now I am in the process to push this also to homey using the api. So I need to write an app for this.

In the synology I have a page that shows me some graphics. See attachment of example of the day view.

Hi Marcel,

Since I have a synology NAS I'm interested in your solution. Is it much work, can a n00b do it? I'm not a programmer, but electricity i can do. Would love to see my energie status. Even on the Synology!

Martinvdm · January 2017

What about the project of @DennieDeGroot ? No progress or response in this topic for a long time. Is it completely stopped?

NPeters · January 2017

I've got a raspberry pi with an energy link cable and domoticz installed. It's drawing nice graphs.

Now i need to get the data to homey...

DennieDeGroot · January 2017

@Martinvdm There is indeed no progress since my last response

@mruiter and @Webster both have a unit and have some small issues which I still have to fix.

The major problem is that making these units is very time consuming (pick and place / soldering / testing). The only way to reduce this is to do a small production run. But for this to happen I need to spend quite some money which I think I will never earn back again because of the small demand. So unless someone else has a good idea the project is halted for the moment.

Martinvdm · January 2017

@DennieDeGroot if the small production unit is not possible, why not raising the price of one piece? I think still, many of us, including myself, would love one to have.

Hi, you need to do some soldering. I am not sure if this possible for you. The software I am willing to provide.

Another option is to use a p1 to USB cable and run this on a raspberry pick with domoticz.

And you could also order a board here which has the hardware complete and overwrite the software. http://romix.macuser.nl/shop.html

Hi, any news to share?

Martinvdm · August 2017

I am curious as Well. Would really like and Energylink replacement all in One solution.

RobinVanKekem · August 2017

Yes, me too

mruiter · August 2017

Well .. for.people who want a replacement theres iungo

Smart meter. So electricity gas water and solar is supported just like energylink.

No need for the plus version because that one adds zwave and you already have this on homey.

https://www.iungo.nl/nl/

And there is a iungo app in the appstore for homey

OetAelse · August 2017

I have recently replaced my Energylink with Iungo. The information presented by Iungo is much better than Energylink, however the Iungo smartphone app is outside the home network not very useful.

The Homey Iungo app is working well.
