Home Assistant?
Does anyone have the GEM data going into home assistant.
I had assumed via MQTT it would be the way. I am unclear from the BTMON MQTT thread if that project is dead or not (due to the talk of needed merges).

You can send packets directly to Home Assistant with the GEM using this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrati ... e_monitor/

Re: Home Assistant?
I see that my latest dashbox firmware has an MQTT add on in it
(my last firmware i just updated from was from april 2016 i think, lol)
Sweet, have you considered an option to send human readable topic names - for example all my channels have names - send names instead of say 'c24'
I will probably use the HA integration, so this is just a mild suggestion

Re: Home Assistant?
Ok so i set the HA integration up, i don't seem to be able to get it work....
These are the settings in the configuration.yaml
I have set the GEM to BIN-48-Net Time on both com1 and com2 (dashbox is using com2) as instructions say i can use any binary-format packets.
I set the network tab on the GEM to machinename.domian.com and port 12345 - where machine name is the DNS name of my home assistant machine ( I also have tried IP address).
No data appears in home assiatnt.
any ideas?

Code: Select all
greeneye_monitor:
port: 12345
monitors:
- serial_number: "01000xxx"
channels:

name: total_power
voltage:
- number: 1
name: house_volts

Re: Home Assistant?
It seems HA integration doesn't like BIN48 net time.
It does like bin 32 net.
seem like the docs need to be clearer, anyone have any idea if the HA integration only supports bin 32 net - or other packet formats too?

Re: Home Assistant?
not the issue, it was packet format, I changed to bin32-net (packet format 8) and it worked, seems the integration doesn't like bin48-net-time (packet format 4)jerryt wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 9:11 pmI believe that HA is a server, so your Serial to Ethernet adapter will need to be set to Client.

i also don't have a wiznet so i have no clue that that thread is on about

The newer DashBox F/W supports Bin-32-NET (since ~4.2.4b8) also.scyto wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 5:58 pmnot the issue, it was packet format, I changed to bin32-net (packet format 8) and it worked, seems the integration doesn't like bin48-net-time (packet format 4)jerryt wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 9:11 pmI believe that HA is a server, so your Serial to Ethernet adapter will need to be set to Client.
