Device Event for Home Energy Monitor missing


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I’m attempting to use a device event that is not listed in webcore. I have a Aeon Home Energy Monitor and when I add a webcore if statement I can only select “Energy” “Power” or “Status”. I would like to trigger on just one of the power poles. (Ie. Power1 or Power2) which are different clamps on the device.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
Be able to select all the device events

3) What is happening/not happening?
Not able to select all the device events

I don’t have Aeon device so I can’t help you directly but have you looked for a DHT for it?


#3

Thanks for getting back to me. I have a custom DHT for it and it’s shows what I want in the Smartthings app okay. I just hope it’s available in webcore so I can write some alerting rules for it.

Which DTH are you using? If it displays OK in the ‘new’ app it is likely to be a composite device. If so you might need to access the clamps as the separate child devices in webCoRE.

If it is just using custom attributes I’d expect to see them in webCoRE.

Interesting. I’m still using the “old” app and it shows there. The new app doesn’t show the two separate poles (clamps). Do you know where I might find some information on setting them up as a child?

I use this Aeon HEMv2+ DTH and I show several more attributes that I can use.


#7

Given it displays in the old app, doesn’t in the new app, shows events, but doesn’t list the attributes in webCoRE, it sounds rather like the device handler might not actually declare the attributes, which can happen.

I haven’t checked to see whether webCoRE picks them up dynamically or just once when the device is authorised (in which case the device would needed removing and reauthorising). That would only be an issue if the device handler was changed after the device was authorised.

Thanks Everyone. I looks like the new HEMv2+ DTH is going to work for what I need! Thanks Terminal
