Hi,
i just got an Aeotec HEM 8. The device is discovered and transfers data.
But - from the z-wave database there are “only” 6 channels defined.
As i have the EU 3 clamp version there should be a lot more channels available:
V, A, W, kWh, Power Factor, kVar, kVarh for each clamp
-V, A, W, kWh, Power Factor, kVar, kVarh for total (which are there except Power Factor & kVarh)
Can i help somehow to add those channels to the DB? I had an account on the old website, still can log on, but i have no rights to whatsoever. Or maybe help with a XML file?
It does look incomplete. Sometimes the db chokes on something and stops adding channels. What does the xml look like? Also, you may need to open a ticket for write access.
Edit my guess is the kvar & kvarh. There is only one in the DB kvah. I don’t know what those are (not an electrician)
EDIT: I did get a PR merged yesterday in the ZW binding to add meter_kvar and meter_kvarh and opened a ticket on the ZW DB to add them to the dropdown list. Once they get added you (with write access) will be able to create a new device with your XML (change the type:id on the current entry, it can’t be fixed easily and will need to be deleted/hidden). In the blog there are instructions to do this and import information from the partial entry (to save some work).
