Oh wow if this is the case than this is a major oversight by Athom. But mine won’t just not read data, it also isn’t responsive in Homey. I have an Enexis Ziv. ---

[quote=“Hilbrand\_Hartlief, post:173, topic:133816”] Same problem here: Connected the dongle. Did a software update. After that a few times only a red blinking light. Even with USB power connected. After a reset and installing on the app again no connection with the Landys + Gyr E360… What to do? ---

I have a problem with Landys + Gyr E350. Homey says: Received unvalid data (translated from Dutch, Ongeldige gegevens ontvangen.) Tried it also with USB power connected, I see no difference. ---

Ok I got it working. It was breathing red, no data. Tried the factory reset but that didn’t work. Now again I pushed the reset pin, but when it turned blue I stopped. Went back to add device and now it works. ---

**Homey Energy dongle interferes with car charger** Got my energy dongle today. Installing was easy. I connected the dongle to my P1 port. For this, I had to disconnect the car charger interface cable that was connected to the P1. The car charger connector goes on the other side of the dongle. Easy peasy. **Not**. At first, everything seemed to be OK. I can monitor all power, current and voltage values from my energy meter. Then, I connected my car to the charger and started charging. Within 1 minute, I got a Homey message stating that the maximum power had been exceeded. My car charger switched off. Bummer. Tried again. Disconnect car, reconnect car. Start charging. It charged at 5 A (normally 16A). 2 minutes later: “Power exceed”, car charger switches off again. Now I disconnected the energy dongle and restarted the car charging process again: everything is fine again! So, what’s happening? Is the dongle influencing the data from the other source (car charger)? Can I alter some settings to fix this? I’ve spend €39, but I can’t use it. ---

Received my homey energy. Experienced some connectivity issues without connecting to power. But in general easy setup. I already used a plugwise smile that is now connected to the homey energy p1 output. **Seems my current output for the 3 fases is rounded to a full amp**. Plugwise shows this with two decimals. Having both connected i get the feeling that the **refresh rate of some parameters sometimes gets delayed quite a lot**.. minutes up to an hour… not sure if this is related to having both connected? I alread tried to exclude one of them from the energy tab, but that didn’t help. Maybe some experience same behavior, then I like to learn. BR Ad ---

Honestly the process seem not intuitive at all. I had to fumble to get it to work as well. The fact the led status was not in the manual, well that was not helping. ---

Go into the settings of the homey energy dongle itself, then it should be under the “status indicator” setting option, called: Phase capacity ---

204 / 5.000 I also connected the dongle to a Landis+Gyr E360 smart meter. Reset the dongle a few times, also tried it with USB power. No success. If there is no solution tomorrow, I give up and send it back. ---

I am sure there will be a solution soon. Tomorrow I will receive an active P1 splitter, that seemed to have solved the issues for other users. If that really solves things, it looks there are some compatibility issues with Landis + Gyr smart-meters.. I will post the result asap. ---

If you have the Landis+Gyr E360, try plugging the Dongle into the additional USB-C power first, then connect it to the meter afterwards. ---

Any ideas for the E350? I tried your solution for E360, didnt help. ---

We recently recorded a how-to video on Homey Energy _(going live soon!)_ using the E350. It initially showed a red LED when connecting the dongle, but started working immediately after plugging in USB-C power. Just a heads-up, it might take a little while after setup before data begins appearing in the Homey app ---

But in the end all the SMR 5.0 meters should give enough power to let is work without extra power. The homewizard doesn’t have issues without power, i would have thought the homey would not have any issues like this. Its not really plug n play. Hopefully firmware update will solve this soon. I feels a bit as a beta product for now. I think they will feel the same when they see the returns coming in. In not returning it since im a homey user for a long time and I am still hoping that firmware upgrades will solve this ---

Already tried this, unfortunately that didn’t help. I think I tried everything now. Last option for now seems to be the active P1 splitter. To be continued tomorrow….
