Homey app to integrate Plugwise Smile P1 energy meter. A direct connection over IP is used, so there is no need for the Plugwise Stretch.
The app logs and provides flow cards for the following data:
Actual power usage/production (W, 10s interval)
Totalized power meter (kWh)
All individual power meters (kWh)
Recent gas usage (m3, of the previous hour)
Gas meter (m3)
Tariff change (off-peak, true or false)
Ledring screensaver:
See how much energy you are using or producing just by looking at your Homey!
Is the wash-dryer ready? Am I now producing power to the grid?
The power is totalized for consumed and produced power, during off-peak and peak hours. Production to the powergrid is displayed as negative watts. Only changed values are logged.
To setup go to “Devices” and enter the IP-address and Smile ID. The ID can be found printed on the device, or can be found in the original app from Plugwise. The polling interval can be changed in the device settings.
Since i am still on 1.5.13 and not likely to switch to 2.0 soon, is the new version safe to use on the old firmware? Or should I switch off the auto-update?
Yes, it works just fine ( I still have V1 also). And you can leave on the auto update. If the app is no longer compatible with V1 I will make sure that it will only install on a Homey V2.
Just noticed that my LED Ring was showing a green ring with a red revolving LED spontaneously.
After some digging I saw that the app was updated automatically this afternoon and apparently this set the LED Ring to the “Plugwise Smile P1 Power” option (was that there before???).
The state was however shown as “Off”.
I am testing with Homey 2 all evening. But I cannot get the ledring to work on Homey 2. Its either a bug in Homey or bad documentation. I expect the first… So please be patient with the ledring. The rest should work properly though.
the message says that Homey cannot reach the ip address of the plugwise. Are you sure that the plugwise is connected to your network? Or has the IP address changed maybe?
