https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/iammeter/

1. Introduction

Platform openHAB (https://www.openhab.org/) is an open source home automation system. Our Wi-Fi energy meter (WEM3080/WEM3080T) can be integrated with openHAB system.

2. Highlight

Our Wi-Fi energy meter has some highlight features comparing to other similar product,

• Bi-directional function enables two-way electricity (for example, "From Grid" and "To Grid") monitoring by only one meter

3. Integrate with openHAB

3.1 openHAB settings

Step 1, open PAPER UI(HABmin), then install "HTTP Binding" and "JsonPath Transformation".

Step 2, open the file openhabconf/services/http.cfg (create file if not exists), and add the below text into the the file.

iammeter.url=http://192.168.12.33/monitorjson{Authorization=Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=}
iammeter.updateInterval=4000

​

​

Step 3, open the file openhab/conf/items/default.items (create file if not exists), and add the below text into the file,

Group     gIammeter				"Meters"				 <energy>        (Home)                    ["GroundFloor"]

Number  Iammeter_Voltage       "Voltage [%0f V]"    	<energy>     	 (gIammeter)				{ http="<[iammeter:4000:JSONPATH($.Data[0])]" }
Number  Iammeter_Current       "Current [%0f A]"   		<energy>    	 (gIammeter)        		{ http="<[iammeter:30000:JSONPATH($.Data[1])]" }
Number  Iammeter_Power         "Power [%0f W]"  		<energy>    	 (gIammeter)            	{ http="<[iammeter:4000:JSONPATH($.Data[2])]" }
Number  Iammeter_Importenergy  "Importenergy [%0f kWh]" <energy>    	 (gIammeter)           		{ http="<[iammeter:30000:JSONPATH($.Data[3])]" }
Number  Iammeter_Exportgrid    "Exportgrid [%0f kWh]"  	<energy>     	 (gIammeter)            	{ http="<[iammeter:30000:JSONPATH($.Data[4])]" }

​

Step 4, open the file openhab/conf/sitemaps/default.sitemap (create file if not exists),and add the below text into the file

    Frame {
        Text item=Iammeter_Voltage label="Voltage [%.1f V]" icon="energy"
        Text item=Iammeter_Current label="Current [%.1f A]" icon="energy"
        Text item=Iammeter_Power label="Power [%.1f W]" icon="energy"
        Text item=Iammeter_Importenergy label="Importenergy [%.1f kWh]" icon="energy"
    }
