Andre Douyon Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello, I am a ISY994/IR Pro user with all insteon products. Is there a way to monitor usage on a per switch or plug basis? Link to comment
palayman Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Sorry, there are no Insteon devices that monitor power. There are Z-Wave plug options. Link to comment
Andre Douyon Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thank you for the info and quick response. Does anyone know if this is compatible with ISY994? https://www.smarthome.com/dome-dmof1-z-wave-smart-outlet-with-range-boost.html Link to comment
stevesreed Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This one is supposed to be supprted (I just just ordered on 5 minutes ago, so I have not tested it yet):https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VQISOCG Link to comment
Brian H Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Does your ISY994iPRO/IR have a ZWave daughter board in it. To add ZWave support. That the modules use? Link to comment

If you mean keeping track of how many times something is turned on/off, or how long something remains on, then yes. Without changing anything at all, you could use a macro to pull the information out of the ISY log. If you want it to be more interactive, you could create some integer variables, and then use programming to increment those variables while a device is ON, and stop incrementing when the device is OFF. Depending on how often you setup the programs to increment, you could track device ON time to the minute. Edit: You could even come up with crude power usage by measuring the power usage once, and then using that as a multiplier. Link to comment

With v5 the real time click can be used to keep track of total usage in seconds...no time loops required.I use this technique to monitor and report HVAC run time, HRV runtime, and cold cellar exhaust fan runtime.Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Thanks. I've only been using v5 for about six months, and I keep forgetting about some of the new features. Capturing the "Seconds since start of day" when a device is turned on, and then subtracting it from "Seconds since start of day" when the device is turned off would give you the number of seconds the device was ON. You'd have to account for possibly going past midnight, but that wouldn't be too difficult. Link to comment

I replaced my syncrolincs with those. You just have to update the parameters to show the values. For auto reporting; Parameter 90- Size 1 value 1 For all reports Parameter 101- Size 4 value 15 Link to comment
MustangChris04 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I recall the ISY has an area to enter the load wattage when adding a switch. Most switches are for lights or fans which have a predictive consumption. I'd love to see the ISY have an add-on energy consumption module that can calculate energy usage based on the on/off times of the switches and the defined wattage. It would be a nice step to energy monitoring using something we all already have with getting into the breaker box and adding sensors. The only thing left which is variable would be the appliances.

I am having problems. Somewhere along the communication chain my program is getting erroneous data. I check it every 5 minutes. Once the log indicated that more 100GWh have been used in those 5 minutes only to return to the previous value on the next update. This is happening on 2 devices. I can no find no reports of this type of problem on ZOOZ site or on the public internet. I have reported to UDI and provided logs at Michel's request but have yet to get a response. Link to comment
Peter Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I would recommend this one. It's multichannel and works very good in my Z-wave system. No error reports, and stable operation for more than a year. Link to comment
