It seems there is something quite similar for the French with « Linky » but not compatible outside French territory, if I’m not mistaken.
Having an issue retrieving data from my Huawei inverter for my energy production via the solar panels, I’d like to move toward Gladys Assistant and the full set of data available on the Ores meter.
Not having an ORES smart meter yet, I haven’t really looked into that aspect. Moreover, my inverter is a Fronius with a Smart Meter and therefore already provides me with a lot more information (I use a Docker container that queries the Fronius API and publishes the messages to an MQTT topic via Node-Red).
Maybe a simple problem for you but I’m having some difficulty understanding… Let me explain:
After purchasing the « Smart Meter » gateway in the Netherlands, I managed to connect it correctly to the broker integrated in Gladys and I see the information passing correctly from the « MQTT Explorer » client.
I have the following topic in the gateway: dsmr/reading/phase_currently_delivered_l3
I created a sensor in Gladys but the topic is read-only: gladys/master/device/mqtt:consommation_instantanee/feature/mqtt:consommation_instantanee/state
Since the gateway topic cannot be modified, how do I integrate it into Gladys? My question may seem silly but I can’t find it
You’ll have to go through Node-RED for that; I think there’s a tutorial on the subject.
Search for Node-RED on the forum with the author pierre-gilles — you should find it.
So basically, I’m fetching data from a topic (dsmr/reading/phase_currently_delivered_l3) via Node-RED to send it to another topic (gladys/master/device/mqtt:consommation_instantanee/feature/mqtt:consommation_instantanee/state)?
That’s a bit silly, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just edit the topic that the Gladys-created sensor listens to?
Also, that would force me to set up a new server with Node-RED on it (additional cost…).
I’m not saying you were wrong ^^’
I mostly think you don’t have any other option.
However, you can create a feature request on the forum because that would avoid, in certain cases, this kind of useless data-mapping process via Node-RED
Hi Kevin,
I also use the smartgateway on my Ores meter. I go through Node-RED to ‹ convert › it into a Gladys topic and I take the opportunity to do some calculations (sum of day and night consumptions, calculation of what is actually sent back to the grid = difference between solar production and internal consumption, …). It’s quite simple once you understand the principle and it’s very well documented. It installs on the same Raspberry Pi as Gladys: an additional Docker container. P-G had made a demo video.
Once Node-RED is installed you can also use it for other things: SmartLife integration or products not yet natively supported in Gladys.
@pierre-gilles: I’ve already watched that video. It’s thanks to it that I understood many things, thanks for the tutorial And it’s also partly his fault that I was stuck on this « fixed » topic on the Gladys side.
Okay, I’ll make a feature request.
Also, any problem having Gladys and Node-RED coexist on the same Raspberry? I’m not really keen to invest anymore …
@kevin,
The meter does indeed give the incoming and outgoing flows but I combine the two into a single index and therefore a single curve. If the index is positive it means that I’m feeding back to the grid, if it’s negative, I’m consuming. The idea is to visualize and decide when we should run the major loads during
I confirm that I managed to correctly surface my results with Node-RED, I’m happy. It’s still relatively simple once you understand the principle.
@Riquet0077 : I see what you want to do.. However, I have the impression that this is already the calculation that Ores does because I only ever have one single value (in the two topics you mentioned) above 0.
I’ll explain with an example: if I consume 3 kWh, and my panels produce 2 kWh, Ores will indicate 1 kWh in the instantaneous consumption field (and 0 in instantaneous production). That’s the impression I’ve had from the start.
Tell me if I’m wrong
But since I no longer have access to the Huawei interface for monitoring my production (neither Huawei nor my installer has been able to solve the problem), I can’t confirm my statements 100%.
And that was also the reason I went through this gateway: to finally retrieve information about my production/consumption.
