Hi,
I bought an EmonPi kit with the pulse monitor, the sales docs and features made it sound like it was a relatively easy setup to get going on graphing energy use, unfortunately my experience has been rather different and I am in need of some help to figure out what to do to get this to work.
I’ve spent about two hours trying to figure out what to do with the input to get it to work, but no luck yet.
I have a Carlo Gavazzi EM210 meter which has a red pulse that pulses every 0.01 kWh, under the current usage readout (~7KW, as it’s an office environment) it pulses between 3 to 5 seconds.
I’ve yet to figure out how to get this value into a usable kWh graph, current Watts usage and the rest. So far I have only managed to get a semi-reliable counter that increases, though even that was having some trouble due to the pulse happening so often.
I’m very new to this software, could someone give me a pointer as to what sources I would need to create to get the graphs I want?
Thank you.
