GEM connection via DB

[ben]

I'm working on setting up my tiered rates and would like some clarity... My first 600kWh are always ~$.13/kWh, 600kWh+ are ~$.17/kWh from June-September only.

Would this look something like this?


If it's documented somewhere, please point me in the right direction.

I would do the following:

01-01 to 06-01 50000 kWh 0.13
06-01 to 09-30 600 kWh 0.13
06-01 to 09-30 50000 kWh 0.17
09-30 to 12-31 50000 kWh 0.13

or

01-01 to 12-31 600 kWh 0.13
01-01 to 09-30 50000 kWh 0.13
06-01 to 09-30 50000 kWh 0.17
09-30 to 12-31 50000 kWh 0.13

The 50000 kWh is just an arbitrarily high number, eventually I'll just have a check box for infinity.

09-30 to 12-31 50000 kWh 0.13

Got it... What about the Saturday/Sunday boxes? I don't have any special rate changes for the weekends (I'm still holding out on my "dumb" meter). Should this boxes be checked or left blank?

Left blank if you don't have any special rates.

I'm now trying to connect to SEG. I've typed my token into the DB, but SEG can't discover my device... Do I need to do anything on the GEM to get the DB to send data to SEG?

Hello Ryan,

What steps have you completed in the GEM thus far? Also, I gather your SEG site is fully configured and set up per the below set up guide?

The SEG set up guide in the Brultech software section has an excellent step by step: http://brultech.com/home/software/index ... etsoft/1/1

I was just using the 6 steps outlined on the SEG forward tab of the DB.

1. Register as a new user here.
2. Go to sites, and click "add a site".
3. Copy down the site token, and enter your site name, then save it.
4. Enter your site key below, and checkmark enabled, then save those settings.
5. Wait for the discovery process on SmartEnergyGroups.com to finish.
6. If the discovery process times out, check your site key below and try rediscovering.

I'll look at the instructions soon.

If you're using the latest DB firmware, check your Raw Data logs to make sure SEG packets are being sent.

Looks right, when you reboot do you have any problems with time syncing?

I just rebooted and the times at the top of the page are correct... Is that what you're referring to?
