Next will be using a script to report this data to Xively or Bidgely to see some data over time. (I have to figure out what the 2 empty spots are on the left and change the script a little bit) After this when you open the app you will see the amount of energy the meter is reporting. Click on +New Smart Device, select the from code tab and I pasted the code from this github repository Īfter that go to ‘My Devices’ Select your energy meter, click edit and change the type to Aeon HEMv2.

Just connect the 2 clamps to the 2 big black wires (don’t touch them duh!) and power the meter with the usb cable and the connector in a outlet.Īfter this I logged in on the Web Ide from SmartThings and added a custom device type. Hooking up the energy meter in my breaker panel was easy. After that I could add a device in the SmartThings app and it found it immediately. You have to open up the energy meter and instead of holding the black little button for 5 seconds (that didn’t work for me) I pressed it shortly several times until the light started blinking quickly. Search on the internet brought me to a blog here: –aeon-labs-pairing-the-home-energy-meter Apparently they sell some kind of home automation system as well. A little cardboard points you to the Verizon website (!?).

What was missing is how to pair the device to the hub. The manual in the box has the install instructions. Aeon Labs does have a newer version (V2) but I could not figure out why that would be a better deal for me. I found the Aeon Labs energy meter on Amazon for $35.00. Since I drive an electric car I wanted to get some more insights in how much energy I use charging my car (and also what I use in the house). One of the devices I bought is an energy meter. As I mentioned earlier, I bought a SmartThings hub and want to connect a couple of sensors and devices.
