[OBSOLETE] Aeon HEM v1 DH Discussion (DTH link in post 411)

No dice. Top row shows ‘min was null’ and second row is empty.

Using ios if that matter…,

Have you tried re pairing it? Exclude it completely first though.

Mine is really small take a look.

I have the same issue on my Android.

Same. Unreadable now.

It was fine before the last update.

Yes here to.

FYI @joelw135, @Nezmo, @spyd4r

@Smartphi Your numbers will come back, or you can just tap on the three reset tiles to make it happen faster. The tiny text has nothing to do with the DTH. You can thank ST for that when they released v2.3.1 of the mobile app that made text/image rendering problems on Android and iOS even worse than it was before. You can see that by just looking at the 2 images posted above. Exiting the device and coming back, or even going to the SmartApps tab and back to the Right No wtab will sometimes clear that up.

For some reason ST decided to change the way standardTile and valueTile work, and probably a few other things we won’t ever know about. If/When they decide to fix that, who know’s. I’m just tired of having to constantly work around their poor quality of testing in these releases - even though many of us in the Community are on their beta programs to help them.

im pulling data from this DTH to an influxDB instance… any reason why the polling is so different from my previous DTH? it appears to be updating very infrequently… I have it set to 0 or time interval reporting with watt reproting every 15 seconds and Kwh every 60 seconds.

I’m still having issues with my HEM going “offline”. I’ve changed the reporting to be interval-based every 5 minutes. I’ve also added a powered switch close to the HEM to act as an intermediate repeater (I’m assuming all compliant powered switches must provide repeater functionality.) I’ve repaired the ZW net a couple of times as well.

When the HEM is “offline”, its LED is still constant red.

Attached below is an example event log from the device.
I’m wondering if the activity “offline” message is from the HEM itself, or from the ST system (based presumably on lack of response to a ping). Hours later the HEM sends new updates, and the “online” activity message is seen (again, is this from the device as the logs imply?)

And is the “cost” calculation done by the device or by the DTH/ST system - wondering if its accurate or not based on the reporting gaps.

Not sure how to further debug the problem, to figure out if its network related or something else - any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Tried all that still miniature type.

Went back to dth ‘My Aeon Home Energy Monitor (no battery)’ and text size is normal and the values are populating again.

I tried to do that, but keep getting error.

Ok, then I’m going to have to remove ST’s Health Check feature. I actually saw that the other day, but it sounds like Health Check and custom DTH’s aren’t playing well for some reason. I’ll do this when I get home from work today.

It’s done by the DTH, not the device itself.

Let’s wait and see what happens when I remove the Health Check capability. You can do this yourself as well if you want to validate right now. Just delete or comment out the line that says : capability "Health Check". It should be line 59.

That sounds like a back end ST issue.

The values are there in the newest version of the DTH, but you can’t see then because of the problems I mentioned above with how text rendering changed with ST’s latest release and the code changes I needed to make.

If ST can’t provide an update on when these issues will be fixed, then I could change the tile formats back to a previous version, and then change them back once ST fixes their end. As a developer, I should not have to constantly apply patches/fixes to my code when ST constantly breaks things from one release to another; but I guess that’s the mode were in with this platform…

Is this still happening? The code for sending Power values only changed to not send them to your Recently tab in the mobile app.

I’m using Simple Event Logger, and here’s my latest readings that have them reporting pretty quick:

@Smartphi, @joelw135 @georgeh, @Nezmo

I was able to break away from work for a bit and make the changes that should help with text rendering issues, and I also commented out the Health Check capability that will prevent the device from showing as OFFLINE when it really isn’t.

Give this update a try and please let me know if the issues with text go away or at least somewhat better.

UPDATE 3:30pm Text is looking fine. I readded the updated DTH again.
Seems working. Thanks @johnconstantelo

Old reply: 3:25pm
Just tried it. The min value tile is populated but it has wrong min value/not updating. Shows 278 but min value on main tile is lower/actual min. Text is improved a bit no longer tiny font.

The second row that usually shows last reset date shows – two dashes.

thanks, I’ll confirm this for you…

also, is it possbile to add Amps? I’m missing that in this vs my other DTH.

Can you point me to the other DTH you used for Amps?
