problem with rs485 USB converter

I am trying to read my new meter using the RS485 to USB converter on my DASH software. It doesnt seem to want to connect. I have checked and recheked everything three times. The drivers are installed, the wires are correct etc... I have tried to use both available ports. Nothing seems to work. When ...

Re: where to set rates/tariffs?

Yes this is CA for you. Get ready because there are more huge changes coming soon. Our problem is we have TOO MUCH solar, especially when sun is bright and temps are cool (check out CA ISO app, very cool), kind of like Texas used to have too much wind (demand caught up with supply finally). The tier...

Re: Erroneous data reading on Ominmeter III

Interesting update. Of course I was not looking when this happened, however 1. I tried changing the read interval to 15 minutes to see if slowing the data rate down made any difference (don't know why, just curious to see what happens). This only seems to affect DASH as the online readings are still...

where to set rates/tariffs?

I've got where to setup the calendar and TOU, but where can we associate a $$ value to the rate? There doesn't seem to be any function in DASH using a direct (RS485 or PUSH) connection or in encompass to be able to assign a rate to a particular period? Am I missing something? Also, our tariff struct...

Re: Erroneous data reading on Ominmeter III

This was happening at that moment in time. But I left and didn't see your message. I was messing around with it and connected via USB directly to the meter everything seems to be working perfectly there. I connected it back to the PUSH gateway now and it did something similar on the chart while the ...

Re: Erroneous data reading on Ominmeter III

The graph is coming from the daily encompass report emailed pdf file. In my encompass.io dashboard this is also still going on in a pretty big way. See attached. Whatever your server problem is not fixed. Maybe it has something to do with the encompass platform? In my Dash software of course I can o...

Re: Erroneous data reading on Ominmeter III

Thanks Jameson, this is a logical explanation. I will add that I had a few issues when setting up the PUSH initially and which server and version to select (version 1 or 2). I figured that since my meter and gateware were brand new that it would be Version 2. That didn't work. I had to try every com...

Erroneous data reading on Ominmeter III

I have a Omnimeter III hooked up to a PUSH gateway. There are extended periods of time where I am sure the meter reading is not correct (see attached screenshots). It seems like its picking up a reading (i.e. the meter is taking a reading, sending it to the PUSH and pushing it into the cloud), but t...
