[SOLVED] Home Energy Meter HEM G3 AEON Labs GEN5 ZW095 do not report automatically

Chris,
Could you please explain in technical wording what do you mean, what are the implications of it?
I would also appreciate it if you could add some reference reading material to understand what it means?

Thank you.

EDIT:
Found some interesting doc about the MC association: https://www.silabs.com/documents/login/application-notes/APL12955-Z-Wave-Multi-Channel-Basics.pdf

I can only really refer you to the ZWave protocol standards unfortunately, but thereā€™s a lot in there.

Basically there are two association classes, and for each class there are multiple versions that do completely different things. Due to the evolution of the classes (especially the MC Association class) there are a number of implementations that donā€™t conform to the standards as the standards were evolving so quickly. This makes it hard for the binding to know what to do.

This is what Iā€™m trying to get clarified by Aeon.

Did you recieved news from them? :blush:

Just bought the same device (1 clamp only), and having the same issues.

  1. With a rule and refresh, data is coming in.
  2. But nothing leads to having the data coming in from the meter. Tried hunderds (?) of thing in the paperUI settings, but nothing seems to help.

No - I pinged them a few times after I go the response that they would look at it, but I never got the answer. Iā€™ll try again - normally they are really good, but recently (maybe due to the world situation) itā€™s been more difficult to get responses.

Hey everybody
I have a problem with this device after I changed the controller and reincluded the device. Before i changed teh controller he send a status change after a change of 5% . Then after the inclusion it did send every half hour with the same parameters. Now after i deleted it and reincluded it again. It doesnā€™t sent new valueā€™s anymore. It is online and when i reinitiliase the device it does everything it has to do. Here is the log debug node 13 zw095.txt (137.8 KB) . Then if i want to chance a parameter i get this debug node 13 para.txt (722 Bytes) . The XML file is only 5kb network_eeeed13d__node_13.xml (5.1 KB). I have already deleted the device from habmin and the xml file and then search for a new zwave device, but didnā€™t work.
I run an RPI 4 2GB, openhabian, razberry controller. If i put my controller on a zway server everything works well so i donā€™t think itā€™s the device.

Did you solved this,
Iā€™m using a rule every 10 seconds that refreshes the meter. This ā€˜forcesā€™ him to send over the dataā€¦

sendCommand(ZW095a_reset, ā€œREFRESHā€)

Yes it is solvedā€¦ I removed it form the network with z wave.me and included it again I did that by marking the device as failed and then gave it a reset and then click replace by new deviceā€¦ so nothing was changed in my network but now al works great! But Thx for the advice can be handy for something differentā€¦ :slight_smile:.

After a lot of testing, reading logs and forum posts as well as contacting Aeotec support I finally got the device working correctly.

I made a howto here: Make Aeotec Home Energy Meter send automatic updates

Pretty old post but it still applies.
Recently upgraded to OH3 and some weeks later, installed the HEM. Right after the install the readings were getting update only once every 30 minutes or so - found no way to change that. Some days later, after fiddling around in OH, meter readings froze - no more updates.
Installed the Zensys tools today - made the changes in the assocation classes as per you info and - tadaaa - working like a charm now - updated every x seconds as requested.
So even after 2 years, the configuration issue is till there ā€¦
Thx for pointing to the solution.

Adding to this thread instead of starting a new oneā€¦

Iā€™m having the same issue as many others reported, canā€™t get this device to update every x seconds as configured.

I had this device working fine on OH 2.5 but when I created a fresh OH 3 system I got the updating issue. Basically excluded everything and added all devices as new.
Device will report values occasionally but not according to the Report Group parameters, 101, 102, 103

I followed the advice of others and used the Zensys tool to set the Association as recommended and remove the Multi-Associations and it did bring some progress but not total success.

@chris , Iā€™m willing to post some logs but wanted to make sure DEBUG logging of the association process is sufficient, or is there something more needed?

Hello, I think i can solve this for you -

I followed this instructions set for zensys

I then reached out to AEON for advice also - Pls see answer here

It has an issue with Group association, there is one quick way to fix this, is to use your Z-Stick Gen5 manual pair method which should assign the proper group association.
ā€‹

  1. Unpair HEM Gen5 from your Z-Stick Gen5.
  2. Unplug your Z-Stick Gen5
  3. Tap the button on Z-Stick Gen5 - slow blue blinking LED
  4. Tap the button on HEM Gen5
  5. Plug the Z-Stick Gen5 and connect it back into OpenHAB
    ā€‹
    This should allow the proper group association to function have the HEM Gen5 automatically report.
    ā€‹

ā€‹
Alternatively, you can use Zensys tools to pair your HEM Gen5 using similar steps to the above, which should do about the same thing and then move it over to OpenHAB afterwards. ā€œā€


I had done thing the first way and it didnt work, so I went the Zensys method (alternative). I plugged the AEON Zwave stick in my Laptop - went to remove + re - add and it seems to configured fully. Now i can play around with all variables. I use 101 at 5 sec intervals with 1794 to get all Wattage and 102/112 with setting for Kwh. all seems to work perfectly now.

Hope that helps

Thanks! Iā€™ll give this method a try.

Worked like a charm!

Including from Openhab did not work but including manually from the stick worked.

Thanks for your update,
Just to make sure what is the channel you are using to get the data?
is it ā€œmeter_currentā€ ?
Thanks!
