Ok, that's what i was trying to tell you, like when i want to use a RFXPulse for counting wheel rotations on my hometrainer [:D].
A more generic approach could save you work in the future, but nevermind my remark, you're doing a great job and making many people very happy [8D].

Hi Ron,

I followed your instructions, but value 2 is not filled in.
How can i assist you with information? do you need remote access to my computer using nx?

He Ron,

Another thing that not correct is RFX pulse counting for the Gas sensor, the counter of the gas installation has a counter xxxxx,xxX, the big X indicated where the sensor is placed. I think you yhink that we place it on xxxxX,xxx.

Can you follow me?

regards,

Francis

<br />Hi, wauw great peace of software, realy booming.

But now starts the testing and i found a problem, when i try to add another sensor thats on my rfxcom pwr module i get this error message. (see attachement) Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

And after that its closes the domotiga program.
When i start it again and i go to energy, ill get another error (see attachement)
Then the program shutdown again.

groeten,

Francis

In Value1 are only the pulses received from the gas counter. Do you get an 123456.123 value instead? Value2 stores the difference in pulses on a 5 minute interval. (these are also stored in the db table called gas_usage, together with a timestamp)

This is done in:
http://www.domotiga.nl/projects/domotig ... rgy.module
around line 80.

The sensor is on xxxxx.xxX in my code, what makes you think it isn't?
Can you give me a few counter values over a 15 minute period?

Regards,
Ron.

The bug causing energy usage not being calculated on fresh installs is fixed in svn Revision 68.

Ron.
