Understanding Your Energy Usage
The Aeotec Home Energy Meter provides crucial insights into your home's electricity consumption. By understanding when and how you use energy, you can save money and contribute to environmental sustainability. This device monitors the total electricity usage of your home with accuracy and speed, feeding data wirelessly via Z-Wave to your smart home gateway for near real-time analysis.
Familiarize Yourself with Your Home Energy Meter
The Home Energy Meter (HEM) consists of two main parts: the Main Body and the Clamps. Once installed, the meter is positioned near your home's main circuit box, with the clamps attached to the electrical cables.
Key components include:
- Red LED
- Action Button
- AC Input Wire
- Clamps
Quick Start: Installation and Setup
The installation process involves two primary stages: physically installing the meter into your home's main circuit box and syncing it with your Z-Wave network. Important: Electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician with knowledge of electrical systems and safety. The Z-Wave syncing can be performed by the user.
Installing the Meter into a Circuit Box
Important: Only a licensed electrician should perform these steps. Ensure the circuit box's main breaker is turned off before proceeding.
The installation method depends on your region's electrical system:
Diagram of USA Version (2 Phases)
This diagram illustrates a 2-phase electrical installation. It shows incoming power lines (80V~ to 150V~, MAX 200A) connecting to a main circuit breaker (MAX 200A). A neutral bus and live terminals are depicted. Two clamps are to be attached around the incoming live cables, labeled 'Live1' and 'Live2'. The HEM unit connects to these clamps and the AC power source.
Diagram of EU/AU Version (1 Phase)
This diagram shows a 1-phase electrical installation for 230V countries. It depicts incoming power lines (180V to 260V~, MAX 200A) connecting to a main circuit breaker (MAX 200A). A neutral bus and live terminal are shown. A clamp is to be attached around the incoming live cable. The HEM unit connects to the clamp and AC power.
Diagram of EU/AU Version (3 Phases, 3 Wires)
This diagram illustrates a 3-phase, 3-wire installation for 230V countries. Incoming power lines are labeled Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C (220V~ to 400V~, MAX 200A). These connect to a main circuit breaker (MAX 200A) and a neutral bus. Three clamps are to be attached around the Phase A, B, and C cables. The HEM unit connects to these clamps and AC power. Color coding indicates Brown (Phase A), Brown (Phase C), Blue (Phase B).
Diagram of EU/AU Version (3 Phases, 4 Wires)
This diagram depicts a 3-phase, 4-wire installation for 230V countries. Incoming power lines are labeled Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C (180V to 260V~, MAX 200A), plus a Neutral line. These connect to a main circuit breaker (MAX 200A) and a neutral bus. Three clamps are to be attached around the Phase A, B, and C cables. The HEM unit connects to these clamps and AC power. Color coding indicates Brown (Phase A), Brown (Phase B), Blue (Phase C), and Blue (Neutral).
DANGER! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
To perform the electrical installation for your Home Energy Meter (HEM), use the diagrams above to determine your phase version and follow these steps:
- Turn off the home's main electricity breaker and open the main circuit box panel.
- Connect each clamp to the HEM using the clamp connector and screw them tight.
- Clip the clamps of the HEM around the incoming electricity cables that connect to the main circuit breaker.
- Connect the AC Wire to the meter using the AC Wire Connector.
- Insert the HEM's neutral AC Wire into the main circuit breaker's neutral bus terminal.
- Insert the HEM's live AC Wire into the main circuit breaker's live terminal.
- Replace the main circuit box panel.
- Turn the main breaker back on.
Mounting the Home Energy Meter
After installation, the HEM needs to be affixed to a surface. Consider the low-frequency radio antenna used for wireless communication; thick concrete walls, metals, or motor devices can affect signal strength. If the circuit box is metal, it's recommended to mount the HEM's Main Body outside the box to avoid degrading the radio signal. The meter is weather-resistant (IP44 standard) for vertical outdoor installation.
To mount the Home Energy Meter (HEM):
- Remove the backing plate from the back of the HEM.
- Affix the plate to the selected wall space using the provided screws. Ensure the plate is installed vertically with the HEM's wires at the bottom.
- Attach the HEM to the backing plate.
Linking Your Meter to an Existing Z-Wave Network
Once the electrical installation is complete, wirelessly link the HEM to your Z-Wave network.
- Put your primary Z-Wave controller (gateway or hub) into inclusion mode. Refer to your controller's manual if unsure.
- Press the Action Button on your HEM. A successfully linked HEM will have a continuously illuminated LED. An unsuccessful link will result in a blinking LED.
After successful linking, set up your HEM within your Z-Wave controller's interface to visualize and utilize energy consumption data. The HEM can report wattage or KWH energy usage. Consult your controller's manual for details on monitoring and visualization using Z-Wave Meter Command Classes.
Advanced Functions
Removing Your Meter from a Z-Wave Network
To remove your HEM from a Z-Wave network:
- Put your main controller into its device removal mode (refer to controller's manual).
- Press the Action Button on your HEM. A successfully removed HEM's LED will blink. An unsuccessful removal will show a solid LED.
Resetting Your Home Energy Meter
Reset the HEM to default factory settings if your primary controller is missing or inoperable.
- Press and hold the Action Button for 10 seconds.
- If successful, the HEM's LED will begin to blink slowly.
Note: This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Resetting to factory default will exclude the HEM from the Z-Wave network, delete association settings and power measure values, and restore configuration settings.
Associating Your Home Energy Meter to Report Automatically
The HEM can send Wattage and KWH usage reports to associated devices. It is initially configured to report Watt and KWH. Some gateways automatically configure devices, while others may require manual configuration.
Setting Automatic Report Flags
Parameters 101-103 (4-byte decimal) allow configuration of which reports are sent. The table below shows decimal flags for reporting specific data:
| Report Total HEM: | Report Watt for Clamps: | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal Flag | Description | Decimal Flag | Description |
| 1 | Report KWH | 256 | Clamp 1 |
| 2 | Report Watt | 512 | Clamp 2 |
| 4 | Report Voltage | 1024 | Clamp 3 |
| 8 | Report Current | ||
| Report KWH for Clamps: | Report Voltage (V) for Clamps: | ||
| Decimal Flag | Description | Decimal Flag | Description |
| 2048 | Clamp 1 | 65536 | Clamp 1 |
| 4096 | Clamp 2 | 131072 | Clamp 2 |
| 8192 | Clamp 3 | 262144 | Clamp 3 |
| Report Current (A) for Clamps: | |||
| Decimal Flag | Description | Decimal Flag | Description |
| 524288 | Clamp 1 | ||
| 1048576 | Clamp 2 | ||
| 2097152 | Clamp 3 | ||
Example Use of the Report Table:
- To report total KWH consumption and wattage for clamp 3, add 1 + 1024 = 1025 and set this value to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
- To report wattage and KWH for all clamps, add 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096 + 8192 = 16128 and set this sum to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
- To report all available data, add all table values together and set the sum to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
Setting an Automatic Report Interval
Parameters 111-113 (4-byte decimal) configure the reporting interval for Group 1 (parameter 101), Group 2 (parameter 102), and Group 3 (parameter 103) respectively. For example, to report total KWH and clamp 3 wattage every 500 seconds, set parameter 111 to 500.
Utilizing Different Groups
The HEM supports 3 groups for configuring different reports and intervals. Group 1 uses parameters 101 and 111, Group 2 uses 102 and 112, and Group 3 uses 103 and 113.
