Since the last update I lost connection with one of my two P1 meters. Till now both were visible and worked flawless. My house had two smart meters (a normal and a MLOEA-meter). I deleted the one that wasn’t working and tried to add it again, but it’s not visible. In the Energy app both are visible and working well, in the router both show an excellent connection. What can be wrong?

Problem is mDNS, check first post.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I managed to add them both again by giving them a fixed IP-address and enabling the local API. I recently switched to Ubiquiti Unifi router and network equipment. Will that be the probable cause? Why are these causing problems?

Local api off was your main problem. Only when ON my app is allowed to talk to your socket.
I can’t see or know all WiFi networks or their configuration. This app for Homey has over 10k users so impossible to explain or solve everyone’s problem.

Getting at a point now to not update the code anymore as every update I do is seen as a reason to blame the app and not the local network / wifi configuration.
Not to mention the regular diagnostic reports generated without asking me before (ignoring them).

Sorry for the rant nothing personal but getting really fed up.

I really appreciate all the work you are doing and your update just coincided with my network changes. I enjoy using your app as are thousands others … Keep up the good work and don’t let ignorant users discourage you. A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer …

Damm, The Huawei Solar app is dead, so i thought maybe the Homewizard app is the solution for it…wrong thoughts.
Let’s cancel the subscription…

Yeah what to expect from a 30 euro P1?
I do not work for Homewizard am just a hobby enthusiast that relies on what an API makes available locally.
Your expected functionality only lives in the cloud on their platform and isn’t available locally sorry.

Klopt het dat ik de watermeter, die gekoppeld is aan mijn energy account niet kan uitlezen via Homey?

Ja dat kan, mits de watermeter niet met batterij gevoed is maar met een een stroom adapter (usb). Verder in de HomeWizard Energy app de local API van de watermeter aanzetten.

Watermeter krijgt stroom via USB :white_check_mark:
Watermeter Local API staat aan :white_check_mark:

Maar zie niks in Homey. niet bij de gegevens van de P1 meter, maar kan ook geen water meter toevoegen aan homey

Watermeter heeft zijn eigen device in de app. Check eerste bericht in topic, klinkt als een mDNS probleem.

reboot van homey en toen deed ie het wel . thnx

Hi Duco, I reached out the the HomeWizard webcare to ask when the new firmware (I’m still on 4.19 on my P1 and 2.03 on my watermeter) will be released to non-beta users. They couldn’t help me with any information. Can you give any insights to your productplanning? On both devices I encounter connections problems; I checked and implemented all the suggestions from Jeroen without result. So the only thing I see as a solution, are these firmware updates.
Hope to hear from you!
kind regards, Bram

Already done:

  • HP23Pro wired connection
  • Reseverved DHCP addresses for all HomeWizard hardware
  • mDNS Check with mDNS app successful
  • Restarted & PowerCycled, HWApp, HP23, HW-hardware several times
  • HWEnergy plugs and 1-fase Powermeter are working fine

Bram, could you please refresh my mind what exact problem you face now?

I get econnreset error on my P1 and Watermeter. When I powercycle then they work again for a few hours/days until they get this error again. IP adresses don’t change (reservations in dhcp). When I check with mDNS app, I always find all devices.

What wifi brand/flavor are you?
Trying to understand if wifi meshing is dropping connection of the units. Any multi AP’s involved?

TL;DR: The resources from the API of the HomeWizard devices may get exhausted, rejecting new connections. This issue is known and will be fixed soon.

The fix is ready, but I cannot tell when it will be released. We roll out firmware with multiple changes in one go, so a good test period is needed. I expect between 1 and 3 months, no promises.

Ziggo is my ISP with the standard white modem. I disabled WiFi in the modem and use their mesh-wifi solution from tp-link. This mesh setup is in access-point mode, so the router from the modem is dhcp server where I made the reservations.

Thanks for your feedback. :+1:
