“Automatically create child devices for appliances”
OK I just un-checked this tick box and saved. I still have 4 x devices however.
[quote=“cw-kid, post:140, topic:168489”]I seem to have a total of 4 devices now! 2 new ones have been added.
Appliance 9
What are Appliance 0 & 9 ?[/quote]
Appliance 0 is the usage reported by the whole-house monitor. That’s the usage that appears on the monitor LCD when it is showing the clock.
Appliances 1 to 9 are the individual appliance channels which you’d be using if you bought additional transmitters. You can see these by pressing the up or down buttons on the monitor.
Appliance 9 is … special, I think, and has something to do with the OptiSmart thingy that they now sell. Do you have an OptiSmart reader? Or any other transmitter? If not, it looks like CurrentCost has changed the protocol without telling anyone.
I'd like to only see the whole house power usage and temp in the UI.
(Setting aside the Appliance 9 thing, which might need some coding to handle.)
You will always have the main device (which you renamed) and the Appliance 0 whole-house device. In your case they will be the same because you have only one transmitter. In the general case, when you have more than one transmitter, you can specify arithmetic to compute a number to display on the main device (that’s the add-subtract field on the configuration tab). I (and others) use this to compute net electricity by subtracting generation from consumption.
If you’re going to ask me to change the plugin to hide the Appliance 0 device because you have only one transmitter, don’t. I have to support the general case of more than one transmitter, and I’m not going to special-case the plugin for the degenerate case of only one transmitter.
But you can help me to figure out this Appliance 9 thing.
Slow down, group your posts, I feel like I’m having a text messaging conversation. People have to read this later and make sense of it.

Yes, the horse has bolted, and now you’re shutting the gate. The checkbox doesn’t round up the horses and put them back.
OK I have renamed things a little.
E.ON Energy Monitor is now the “Main Device”
Appliance 0 is now called House Power Usage
Appliance 9 I don’t know what this is? so I have left it as is.
Please see attached.
“Appliance 9 is … special, I think, and has something to do with the OptiSmart thingy that they now sell. Do you have an OptiSmart reader? Or any other transmitter? If not, it looks like CurrentCost has changed the protocol without telling anyone.”
I don’t know what an OptiSmart Reader is? So I haven’t got one lol.
I only have one transmitter connected to the cable below the electric meter outside in the electric box.
Thanks Futzle for your explanations so far.
Ok, so perhaps the CurrentCost protocol now spits data out for a “virtual” device 9.
Can you display appliance 9 on the LCD using up/down buttons?
Does the power number for Appliance 9 ever change on the dashboard?
I’m still trying to work out if your Appliance 9 adventure is a freak event or if it’s going to happen to every new user.
Edit: this seems relevant. I’d like to find a user who has an OptiSmart reader who can send me some data captures.
There is a hackish way to unbolt a horse: you can “delete” an appliance in the plugin by changing the Appliance9 field to “0” (see screenshot). Turn off the autodiscover checkbox or it’ll come back though. Don’t do this for Appliance0 or you won’t get any power readings at all.
“Can you display appliance 9 on the LCD using up/down buttons?”
Yes if I press the UP button it goes through appliances 1-9 only appliance 9 has data the others are all zero values.
“Does the power number for Appliance 9 ever change on the dashboard?”
Yes the Watts for Appliance 9 are changing, I also have history now showing for appliance 9 and for the main device.
But there is no history showing yet for appliance 0.
Thanks
Looking in the advanced tab of the main device, appliance 9 field is already set to 0 actually 00000
Thanks
“0” is not “00000”.
“0” is not “00000”.[/quote]
OK I changed it to 0 and saved. The appliance 9 device has now gone from the UI.
If there is anything else you would like me to look at, to resolve any possible issues I’d be happy to help if I can.
Thank you.
Oh I can now see Appliance 9 device has actually moved back to the “no room” area it was previously set to be in a room. Should I delete the appliance 9 device?
That check box “Automatically create child devices for appliances” is still not ticked as well.
EDIT: Appliance 9 field has gone back to 00000 as well now.

If you are happy to leave Appliance 9 visible and to watch it over time, yes…
I’m curious about what Appliance 9 does over time. Does it move to match the whole house usage, does it only ever increase, or is there some other pattern?
If you can connect the USB cable to a PC running a terminal program like PuTTY and could capture some of the raw data coming over the serial port, that’d be really helpful. It looks like one long XML string:

That looks like a bug. I will investigate. The “0” hack should be permanent.
I set appliance 9 back to 0 it does remove it but then some time later it comes back in no room.
Appliance 9 does not match the Appliance 0 watts no.
I have just downloaded Putty now, will see what I can do with it. Presume the I select a serial connection?
Will get the energy monitor now and connect to laptop.
Thanks
Doesn’t seem to like being connected to my laptop, the Prolific device in device manager has an exclamation mark next to it. I just downloaded the latest driver from the Prolific site and rebooted but still the same. Tried three different USB ports on the laptop.
I might have to find the CD that came with the energy monitor. It has worked before I did a clean install of Windows 7 and I never reinstalled the energy monitor software etc.
OK I managed to fix the driver by using an older driver from 2007, the Prolific device is now listed in Device Manager OK. If I run the PL2303CheckChipVersion.exe against the comm port it says: This is a PL-2303 XA / HXA Chip so it is communicating OK.
However if I try to connect to this COM port in Putty when I press the Open button it just dings at me and nothing happens.
EDIT: Think this is the problem
DO use Sesssion → “Connection type” → Serial
NOT use Serial → “Serial line to connect”
I was using Serial Line to connect
The Putty.log file is outputting junk:

OK changing the baud rate again to 57600 seems to have got it working, please see below output.
My PC is blue screening now however during capturing the data, so there is not much in the Putty log file.

I found the original installation CD for the energy monitor. This installed a driver dated: 27/10/2008. Its not BSOD now.
Anyways Putty was able to grab more data, please see below:

Thanks cw-kid, that’s just what I need.
The “1” shows that your Appliance 9 is a normal power monitor, not an OptiSmart (type=2) or gas (type=3 IIRC). If you don’t have an extra transmitter anywhere in your house, I’m at a loss to explain where it came from. It’s even transmitting every six seconds as CurrentCost monitors do.
You could try to re-pair channel 9 on the monitor console and letting it time out. This might have the effect of removing it from your system. Try it and see.
I think the best I can do for you is to give you the option of permanently hiding the rogue appliance from the display. I’ll update the tab interface so that you don’t have to go digging in the Advanced tab.
Weird.
I dunno could it be a problem with the clamp installation? I just hooked the clamp around the fattest cable. There are 3 cables see photos.
“You could try to re-pair channel 9 on the monitor console and letting it time out. This might have the effect of removing it from your system. Try it and see.” How do I do this?
Thanks
I just tried adding the CurrentCost VeraLite devices in to mControl / Windows Media Center. See screens. The Power Usage device is working OK and showing the correct KW, but the temperature sensor shows as unknown in the mControl editor. I’ve emailed their support see if they can fix it?
