New Brultech Energy Monitoring Model (ECM-1240) due in 2009
- Thread starter sic0048
- Start date
Code to read data from the EtherBee:
http://bitbucket.org/kelvin/pyecm/overview/
I forked Brian's code (http://fivejacksons.com/brian/?p=240), which is
also on bitbucket now:
http://bitbucket.org/moridin1138/pyecm/overview/
You still have to use the EtherBee configurator (via Windows) to tell
the EtherBee to push data to the computer that the python script is
running on, however.

What about if the series connected CTs are connected to the DUAL and COM inputs? If the CT settings are set as such in the interface program, will the right settings be configured in the ECM-1240?

I just purchased the Brultech serial to ethernet adapter. It came with no instructions whatsoever. Does anyone have the instructions on how to hook it up to the ECM-1240?

UJ,
Does it come with a serial port redirector software?
I have both a lantronix and a silex serial to ethernet convertor and either work fine with the 1240. I redirected a com port to TCP-IP address, set serial port for 19,200, 8, N, 1 and it works great.

Are you referring to the EtherBee? If so, download Brultech's EtherBee Configurator from here:
http://www.brultech.com/ecmsupportupdate.html
Click, "Search." Then, in the Server IP settings, set the ip address of the server that will read data from the ECM-1240. Don't forget to click, "Save Settings." The EtherBee will start reading data from the ECM-1240 and push it to that ip address and port. You can then hook up a server to read data. Brultech lists some server software at the above site. I'm also working w/ Brian on some python code, here:

Kelvin's right - even though there's no mention of the EtherPort being zigbee related you use the zigbee config utility to set it up. I sent a tech support email to find out - Paul responded with the goods even though it was a Sunday.
The preliminary docs on the Brultech support page has the info. It also looks like it doesn't function as a com port redirector - for that reason I haven't connected mine yet (plus being too danged busy at the moment). I'm waiting on more info from some of the people working on server software before I try.

Thank you for the replies. I also sent an email to Brultech. I received a reply within an hour! I download the Brultech's EtherBee Configurator and the unit is up and running. I can *finally* start writing software for the ECM-1240

A set of ECM-12xx programs are now available:
Requires Windows and .net 2.0 framework
http://www.tenholder.net/tenWare2/tenEcmServer
tenholde
Code:
tenEcmServer Receives data from ECM and broadcasts it to the other programs
tenHsEcm12xx HomeSeer plugin that creates devices that track ECM data, computes monthly cost, and charts real-time ECM data
tenEcmDbLogger Writes hourly ECM data to an SQL database
tenEcmCharts Displays charts of both real-time and historical ECM data.
Real-time Chart
Hourly Chart
Daily Chart
Monthly Chart
Average Hour of Day Chart
tenEcmCsvLogger Writes real-time ECM data to a CSV filehttp://www.tenholder.net/tenWare2/tenEcmServer

Thanks for all your great work on this tenholde, much appreciated (particularly from us non-programmer types
).

No, the HomeSeer plugin is just one of the optional clients. The only required component is the tenEcmServer. I am using Ed's stuff without HomeSeer and he has been very responsive to get things matured and fixed. Two thumbs up!
ray:Ed,
I want to thank you for the good work you have been doing with the software. It all installs nicely, runs great and looks good.
Paul
Same here Ed. Thank you for your hard work. The server, plugin, and charting is working great!

Ed,
Excellent work.
I have not had a chance to look at your latest stuff, but looking forward to checking it out.
