Hello,
I have 40 emon tx’s and 4 emonPI’s (four because of possible range issues)
Looking at the docs it seems I can only have 30 emonTX’s per pi so I need to setup something like this:
emonTX ID’s 1-10 on group 200
emonTX ID’s 1-10 on group 210
emonTX ID’s 1-10 on group 220
emonTX ID’s 1-10 on group 230
I then need to update the config file on each PI to the respective groups, this will in effect pair them/subnet them (hope this is right, I have not tried it yet).
My question is this, as some of my emonTX’s are only doing very specific things like CT clamp monitoring, can I update the PI config for the respective node ID and remove all the features I am not interested in to clean up my data a little? the docs say I can rename them, but not sure about removing them all together
for example:
[[5]]
nodename = emonPi
firmware = emonPi_RFM69CW_RF12Demo_DiscreteSampling.ino
hardware = emonpi
[[[rx]]]
names = power1,power2,power1_plus_power2,Vrms,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,pulseCount
datacodes = h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, h, L
scales = 1,1,1,0.01,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1,1
units = W,W,W,V,C,C,C,C,C,C,p
becomes
[[5]]
nodename = emonPi
firmware = emonPi_RFM69CW_RF12Demo_DiscreteSampling.ino
hardware = emonpi
[[[rx]]]
names = light,sockets,heating,fans
datacodes = h, h, h, h
scales = 1,1,1,1
units = W,W,W,W
